KITGURU SHORTLISTS: THE BEST COOLER OF 2024

Available in black or white, Lian Li Galahad II LCD 360 provides excellent cooling, using SL-INF 120 fans and an L-Connet controller. It'sb ased on the Asetek Generation 8 pump design with a low-profile CPU block that makes sense considering it  comes with a 2.88” IPS LCD Screen with 480 x 480 resolution to display system info, images or anything else you might want!

Often in the past, we have seen DeepCool bring out products with great performance and amazing value for money - and they have done it again with the LT720. It simply offers class-leading thermal performance at an affordable price. With markets being all over the place at the moment, DeepCool has stuck to its guns with this one, providing PC enthusiasts with another great AIO CPU cooler that’s not going to break the bank.

Taken as a whole the EK-Nucleus AIO CR360 Lux D-RGB is an all-around very impressive cooler with outstanding thermal performance, great build quality and decent looks, it’s simple to install and control RGB lighting. If I was in the market for a 360mm AIO right now, it would be on my final shortlist.

Taken as a whole, the Cooler Master MasterLiquid 360 Atmos is an all-round superb AIO cooler. The customisation option might appeal to users who like to personalise their systems, it has genuine high-end thermal performance, noise output can be tuned to the users preferred level, it's easy to install, looks good and is reasonably priced depending on your region. So if you are looking for a high-performance AIO for a new build anytime soon, add this to your list.

Arctic’s Freezer 30-series approach is tried-and-tested and has proven to be a success; we think the Freezer A35 series does a great job at building on that prior success. The price versus performance offered by the Freezer A35 A-RGB is superb. Arctic’s cooler is punching above its price point when it comes to thermal performance and noise output. And the standard A35 or A35 CO versions are even cheaper than the blinged model.
