CPU INTEL CPU-COOLER 9500F

I'm looking to buy a new cooler for my Intel Core i5-9500F and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations. I've seen that the Enermax Liqmax III 360 and be quiet! BK022 Dark Rock Pro 4 are recommended options. Can anyone share their experiences with these or other coolers?

Hey @OftenG0ne, both of those are great choices! I recently got the Enermax Liqmax III 360, and it's been working wonderfully for me. The cooling performance is excellent, and it's much quieter than my previous air cooler.
