Best AIO Cooler 2025

The MEG CoreLiquid S360 is not MSI’s first AIO cooler, but it’s certainly perfect for three reasons: cooling, compatibility and additional considerations. Even when the Silent Gale P12 fan spins at 2,000 rpm, it not only balances impeccable performance and low noise output, but also supports Intel’s latest Alder Lake series CPUs using the LGA1700 bracket. I pack a 60mm fan into the pump to make sure the VRM on my motherboard remains cool.

MSI’s Pièce De Résistance is a built-in screen, not a new concept, but nothing is better than MSI’s MEG Core Liquid S360. In addition to the usual images, GIFs and system information that others can see, this 2.4-inch IPS display does something most competitors can’t: play .mp4 files. The block twists 90 degrees so you don’t need to tilt your head either to where you’re popping the radiator in your case.

If you don’t have the money, no other AIO Coolers will hit the same height as the MSI Meg CoreLiquid S360.

So, do you want the most impressive cooling system around? While this goes beyond the needs of many readers, the Arctic Liquid Freezer III 420 is the best AIO cooler we’ve come across. Even if you’re overclocking it to the Max, there’s no doubt that this product can keep everything cool and healthy.

All the fans are pre-installed and assuming that the PC case is large enough, it is relatively quick and easy to get it to work. One of the things that we were pretty disappointed was the lack of software, but we’re running out of software as we get an overview of how the cooler is working and can easily find the issue before it happens.

The problem is that this coolness makes it less likely that you will encounter problems. Perfect for cooling both the CPU and VRMS. CPU block fans can move a lot of air into the VRMS on the motherboard.

Depending on your attitude towards RGB lighting, we celebrate or lament the fact that the lighting is rather subtly built into the cooler. I think it’s absolutely ok, but if you’re looking for something that has a big focus on RGB writers, you might be better with something like the ICUE H100I RGB Elite Liquid CPU Cooler.

Overall, this is a great choice and comes at a reasonable price. If that applies to you, it’s too big for some readers, but I recommend looking at the 240, 280, and 360mm models instead.

NZXT’s “New Krakens” is built on top of the fantastic infrastructure established through previous models such as the Kraken X63, with the most attractive addition being the new 2.36-inch LCD display. Although it’s not the only AIO cooler with a display screen, it’s particularly great screen, offering a resolution of 640 x 640, making it easy to check the temperature at a glance.

The display screen is convenient, but it’s not just a selling point. This is still a great AIO cooler, offering excellent thermal performance (a noticeable improvement over NZXT’s previous models), and provides fairly quiet operation even when running at the best RPM. This is not the quietest ever, but quieter than many competitions.

It has a larger price tag, and of course some of it is heading towards the screen. So, looking at it as a frivolous extra, you might find it difficult to justify the price. I also hope that NZXT did a better job in wire management. Like previous iterations of the model, there are plenty of attractive cables. This is especially problematic in small setups. Nevertheless, the armor suits do not have cracks. All of these cooler issues are relatively minor and do not outweigh the benefits.

Usually, when it comes to AIO Coolers, Bigger is better, but Bigger is not necessarily practical. The cooler can boast all of the world’s most impressive specs, but if it doesn’t fit in the setup it won’t make a difference. The Corsair H55 liquid cooler is the best option for people who are a little compact.

As a 120mm fan, it never was as strong as the larger counterpart, but it still gives all the benefits of liquid cooling. Despite its size, you can go ahead of the options in the list of best CPU coolers. On top of that, it’s one of the quieter and cheaper AIO coolers – there’s a lot of love about it.

Silence is gold and if it’s the kind of gold you’re mining, this is an AIO cooler for you. Of all the coolers we’ve seen over the years, none of them offer such a quiet performance level. We know that it will be a selling point for some readers, but on top of that, there is also a great software suite and attractive RGB lighting.

It takes up annoying 3GB (we feel a bit thicker) but the amount of customization it gives you can easily forgive it. You can adjust sound levels, set alerts, adjust RGB lighting, and adjust preset profiles. If you want to have full control and make sure everything is running optimally, this is the purpose.

There are two 120mm fans, and it never gets any worse cooling, but some readers want to go for a larger fan size. That aside, there’s very little to dislike here.

If you want the most powerful AIO cooler that money can buy, this is for you. Keep in mind that this is very powerful and for coolers that are weaker for most readers, this is more expensive as it is lower if you want to push your PC to a limit. This is an option for those who want to play the latest 4K games or render high quality videos.

With a large 420mm radiator it’s a bit difficult to struggle to fit this into many setups, but in general, anyone with a powerful, overclocked gaming PC that requires such an AIO cooler, probably has that space too. However, we recommend double checking that there are compatible cases before ordering.

If you need it and can afford it, it will shake your socks. If you’re playing a smaller (or older game) and don’t use your PC for further taxation, it’s hard to justify the cost.

Previously, we had the original CoolerMaster MasterLiquid ML240L model on this list, but times have changed and we have to do so too. What is the difference compared to the original? Well, there’s an upgraded pump, which has improved flow and is generally quieter. Other than that, it’s almost the same.

This is a cost-effective AIO cooler and looks stunning. There are plenty of RGB lights that allow for lots of customization options, and it’s also pretty powerful (more than any air cooler). It’s a pretty impressive kit for this price range.
