We’ve already detailed air coolers vs. liquid cooler pros and cons in a previous piece, but now, we can look at more air cooler vs. air cooler content. The Noctua NH-U14S, NH-D15, Deepcool Assassin III, and some other coolers are present, alongside some of the top and most recently liquid coolers we’ve recently tested. The FUMA 2 is priced more to compete with air coolers, so obviously liquid coolers aren’t a direct alternative, but it at least helps you establish an understanding of where some of the best liquid coolers compare to some of the best air coolers.
