It’s likely most will assume that an AIO liquid cooler is the definitive option when looking to build a quiet high-performance system, with the only space for improvement being a full custom loop. This inherently brings a number of issues including higher costs, and an increased number of points of potential failure.

For those looking for simplicity an air cooler is still a good option, and be quiet! have become well known as a manufacturer of high-quality top performing air coolers. The new Dark Rock Pro 4 states cooling performance of 250W TDP but an equally high-end price point of £79.99. Does the performance live up to the price?

The categories cover everything from innovation to reliability, from core tech to graphics and peripherals. We thank all the KitGuru readers who nominated the finalists for this year's awards – as well as the thousands of you who took the time to vote for your favourite ‘Product of the year' in each category for 2017. 

The whole process started at the beginning of November and is now complete. The winners are as follows:-

 

Each of these categories had, of course, a runner-up. Here's a gallery of the products that just missed out:-

One of the things that make these awards unique is that we use a 100% community-oriented voting system. Once you have chosen the nominees and voted for the winners, the KitGuru results also go toward deciding the European Hardware Association Community award winners – who will be announced shortly.

Our awards also included a special competition for the chance to win a GTX1060 graphics card and Razer gaming mouse. The level of entries was high, with over 99% of you entering your details!   The lucky winner this year is Andy Norbury from Wales.
