Best CPU Cooler for Intel Core i5-11400F?

I've been using an air cooler with my i5-11400F and it's been working great so far! It's not very noisy, which is a plus for me. The one I used is the Noctua NH-D15.
Hey @silentstevo, you might want to check out this TechReviewer article Choosing the Best CPU Cooler for Intel's Core i5-11400F that discusses some of the best CPU coolers for Intel Core i5-11400F. It provides a detailed comparison and overview of both liquid and air coolers, which might help you make a more informed decision.
Thanks for sharing @LionLambert, I've read it before and found it quite helpful! One thing that stood out to me was the Enermax Liqmax III 360 being one of the best liquid coolers. Have any of you tried using a liquid cooler?
That's interesting, I hadn't considered a liquid cooler before. What are your thoughts on them compared to air coolers like the Noctua NH-D15 that @smartmilk mentioned?
I've used both types of coolers and personally prefer the Enermax Liqmax III 360 for its quiet operation and high TDP rating. It's a great choice if you're looking for a cooler that can handle gaming workloads without producing too much noise.
Thanks everyone for your input! I'll definitely take a look at both options. I appreciate the suggestions and the link @LionLambert shared.
