And supposedly the best ones for 67 - 70ish:


- Thermalright AXP-120x67

- Deepcool AN600

- Noctua NH-L12S


I'm currently testing the AXP-120x67 in my S400 build. CPU max load in open frame (after 10 minutes): 68° C (closed: 74° C peak)

The AN600 supposedly performs nearly identical to the AXP-120, and Noctuas NH-L12S slighty worse. I own the first and the last one, gonna report when I'm done with the Thermalright test series (up next is the SI-100).


The CPU cooler choice, most of the time, depends not only on "which one is best", but also, in which build. Some cases may allow for better airflow despite being relatively small in allowed CPU cooler height, while others seemingly are better, but have issues like extremely annoying noise levels thanks to air turbulences (eg. the FD Terra).
