A
ll-in-one coolers
have come a
long way. What
was once a
niche product
with some dubious piping has
become ubiquitous among PC
builds, even edging out the
humble air cooler that has
served us well all these years.
There’s a good reason for this:
With modern silicon’s dynamic
performance levels,
maintaining excellent cooling is
more important than ever, and
a double or even triple fan
liquid cooler has proven itself
more than up to the task of
dealing with excess heat.
Though it must be said their
success may be down to the
opportunity for sheer panache
they offer: all-in-one coolers
usually come with excessive
RGB lighting.
Of course, a good quality
AIO cooler ultimately comes
down to its ability to keep your
rig cool and quiet. But there are
hundreds of coolers to choose
from. Where do you begin?ALL-IN-ONE

There’s a liquid chip chiller out there
to suit any budget, form factor, or
processor. By Chris Szewczyk
