Solution

Yeah, that's a great article! I'm using the Noctua NH-D15 right now and it works amazingly well. The performance is top-notch and it's pretty quiet too.

I've been using the Enermax Liqmax III 360 for my i3-13100F and I must say, it's an excellent liquid cooler. It has a high TDP rating and operates quietly.

The Noctua NH-D15 is indeed a fantastic choice! I've been using it with my i3-13100F and it keeps the CPU cool even during intense gaming sessions. Plus, it looks great on my PC build.

I'm considering both air and liquid cooling options, but I'm worried about noise levels. Are either of these coolers particularly noisy?

The Enermax Liqmax III 360 is quite quiet, as it operates at a low noise level of just 14-27 dBA. The Noctua NH-D15 can be a bit louder under full load, but it's still within an acceptable range.

I've found that the size and compatibility with my case are important factors to consider when choosing a cooler. Did you face any issues with these coolers fitting in your PC?

That's true. The Noctua NH-D15 has a larger footprint, so it was a bit of a squeeze in my case. I had to rearrange some cables and components to make it fit.

Same here with the Enermax Liqmax III 360. The radiator size is quite big, so it took up most of the space on top of my motherboard.

That's a good point about checking compatibility before purchasing a cooler. Make sure your case and motherboard can accommodate the size of the cooler you choose.

Absolutely! It's also worth considering factors like noise, lighting, price, and gaming performance when selecting the best cooler for your needs.

Thanks for all the input, guys! I'll definitely check out those coolers and the TechReviewer article to help me make a decision.
