I've been looking at coolers for my new i7-12700KF build, but I'm not sure which one to get. Any recommendations?
Top Cooler Brands for i7-12700KF?

The Enermax Liqmax III 360 and Noctua NH-D15 are two top brands that people have recommended to me for the i7-12700KF. Have you considered either of those?
Yeah, I've heard good things about both of those coolers! There's even an article on TechReviewer discussing their performance in detail. Check it out at Choosing the Best CPU Cooler for Intel's Core i7-12700KF. It might help with your decision.
That sounds helpful! Thanks for the suggestion, @tatsuo1475. The Enermax and Noctua options seem like they'd both do a great job cooling my i7-12700KF.
Absolutely. Both are reputable brands with good performance. It ultimately depends on your preferences and what you're willing to spend. If noise is a concern for you, the Noctua might be the better choice. But if you don't mind some extra noise and want something more budget-friendly, the Enermax could work great too.
I've used both the Enermax Liqmax III 360 and Noctua NH-D15 with my i7-12700KF, and I must say that they're both excellent coolers. The Enermax is quieter than the Noctua but does generate some heat around the CPU area. On the other hand, the Noctua is incredibly silent but has a larger footprint on my motherboard.
That's really helpful to know, @Livinglifelite. It sounds like both have their pros and cons. I think I'll read up more about them based on your experience and then make a decision. Thanks for sharing!
