What Arctic sacrifices in the aesthetics department (and ease of installation, more on that later), they certainly make up for in terms of raw thermal performance. 280mm also seems to be the AIO sweet-spot, where anything larger becomes too unwieldy or flat-out incompatible with all but the most gargantuan case towers, and anything smaller becomes hard to justify against premium air coolers.

While not for every user, nor every PC case, a 280mm radiator is likely to fit in a plethora of mid and full-sized ATX towers, and even some of the more premium mATX mini-towers and SFF cases. The main reason the Liquid Freezer II 280 stands apart is the level of performance you get with a 280mm radiator. The Liquid Freezer 280 gives even some 360mm AIO models a bad name, with S-Tier cooling performance across the board, active VRM cooling courtesy of an additional fan on the CPU block, stellar acoustic performance compared to most other liquid and air coolers, all at a very reasonable price. We’ll start by offering one of the best AIO/CLC (all-in-one or closed-loop cooler) options on the market today: The Arctic Liquid Freezer II 280. Without further ado, here are our recommendations for the best CPU coolers to snag alongside the Core i7-10700K.

Still, we’re going to want to keep the 10700K as cool as possible to ensure we can leverage the overclocking headroom afforded to us. By decreasing the height of the CPU die, and increasing the thickness of the integrated heat spreader (IHS), Intel has managed to reign in their historically scorching 14nm process. Props to Intel’s engineers here, as the increased TDP of their even further refined 14nm process does not also come with out of control thermal performance. This drastic increase in power consumption is thanks to the design tweaks Intel has made to their 10 th Gen K-Series processors to compete with AMD’s Zen 2 in production workloads and to maintain their crown in FPS performance. It’s also important to note that the potential TDP is even higher still (230W+) if you’re considering an easily achievable, all-core overclock to 5.0GHz+. With the 10 th Gen Core i7, Intel has raised their baseline TDP from 95W to 125W, which is already reasonably high, meaning you’re going to need some excellent cooling for the best and most stable performance with this chip. Today, we’ll be taking a look at the Core i7-10700K and the best cooling options available for it. As users start to get their hands on Intel’s new Comet Lake CPUs, many are bound to have questions regarding which cooling solutions are best for their new systems.
