The cooling system is the most important component of the system unit. From what kind of cooler it is equipped with depends largely on the efficiency of the computer. Thanks to proper cooling, the PC is able to achieve a truly huge amplitude of overclocking, without overheating, especially in places where it is in contact with the motherboard. Our guide talks about what coolers are. Today we will tell about six models, we will designate their features, advantages and disadvantages.

Large coolers (from 150 mm)
Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3 - versatility
The cooler has two towers. It is equipped with an aluminum radiator. The base of the device is made of copper, and the heat pipes and edges of aluminum have a nickel coating.
Heat transfer between the processor and the radiator is provided by heat pipes, there are seven of them. Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3 is equipped with a fan rotating in the range from 850 to 1700 revolutions / min.
There are two fans, due to which more air is forced through, which means that the cooling is faster. The cooler effectively cools the processors with a heat output of 250 watts. They can be either from AMD or from Intel. Mounting feet are supplied.
Advantages:
- low noise level - 13.2 - 26.1 dB;
- large size - 135 x 135 x 22 mm;
- beautiful appearance.
Disadvantages:
- difficult installation;
- relatively high cost - 7 thousand rubles.
Noctua NH-D15 - high speed
The radiator in the model, as in many others, is made of durable aluminum, since this material does not allow the device to quickly overheat. The base is made of copper alloy, which prevents the occurrence of various types of damage.
The cooler is equipped with two fans for better CPU cooling. Even during acceleration and under heavy loads, the temperature does not rise above 40 degrees. Included are adapters, mounts and even a screwdriver.
Advantages:
- availability of tower construction;
- high rotation speed - 1500 rpm / min;
- efficient cooling;
Disadvantages:
- at maximum speed a little noise;
- great weight - 1360 g;
- relatively expensive - 6500 p.
Average coolers (75 - 150 mm)
DeepCool Gammaxx 400 - versatility and beautiful design
The cooler has plastic transparent covers on the sides. During operation, it is highlighted in blue, which makes the system unit attractive. The device is installed on both AMD and Intel processors.
The design is equipped with four tubes that transfer heat from the base of copper to an array of aluminum fins.
A 120 x 120 mm fan is mounted on a hydrodynamic bearing and independently selects the rotation speed. Maximum fan makes 1500 rpm / min. The kit comes thermal grease, thermal interface and everything you need to fasten sockets.
Advantages:
- small width allows the installation of high slats RAM;
- efficient cooling;
- low cost - 1400 p.
Disadvantages:
- noisy work.
Noctua NH-U9DX i4 - wide compatibility
The new cooler is suitable for both modern platforms, and for the most common sockets. The manufacturer claims premium-class products for technical devices that use Intel Xeon processors.
The small size of the cooler does not affect the efficiency of the cooling process. The height of the product is 125 mm, and the length is 71 mm. Such compactness allows combining the cooler with a standard 4U server case.
The package includes two fans NF-B9 size of 92 mm, as well as an adapter that reduces the number of revolutions, and hence the noise level.
Advantages:
- quiet work;
- efficient cooling;
- optimal price - 4 thousand rubles.
Disadvantages:
- not found.
Low profile coolers (less than 75 mm)
Be Quiet! Shadow Rock LP - silent operation
The 120 x 120 mm cooler effectively handles the cooling of the processor. For this is responsible aluminum radiator with a coating of nickel. The device has four tubes through which heat is removed.
The maximum cooler gives 1500 rpm, if necessary, the adjustment is performed automatically. The package includes a mounting kit for sockets and thermal grease.
Advantages:
- efficient cooling;
- low noise level;
- compatibility with modern CPU connectors.
Disadvantages:
- the cooler is suitable only for low profile RAM modules.
Reeven RC-1001b Brontes - the best value for money
The cooler has compact dimensions of 105 x 114 x 59 mm and light weight, only 325 g. The radiator is made of durable aluminum, and the base of the structure is copper. Four tubes do an excellent job of removing heat, effectively cooling the processor.
The fan with a yellow impeller looks beautiful. Rotational speed ranges from 650 to 2200 revolutions / min. The noise generated during operation is between 10 - 32 dB.
Advantages:
- effective cooling at the small sizes;
- inexpensive - 2400 r.
Disadvantages:
- processors with a 130 W heat pack on Intel LGA 2011x connectors are not supported;
- It works a bit noisy at maximum speed.
