CPU cooling plays a crucial role in a gaming PC as it directly affects the performance and stability of the system. During intensive gaming sessions, CPUs generate high temperatures, which without adequate cooling can lead to throttling, unstable operation or – fortunately no longer immediately due to modern protection functions, but in the long term due to accelerated wear – even permanent damage to the hardware. Effective cooling keeps CPU temperatures within a safe range, enabling higher and more stable clock speeds and thus improving the overall performance of the PC. It also ensures quieter operation, as with a good cooling concept the fans can rotate more slowly and still achieve lower temperatures. So there are many good reasons to study the CPU cooler offers at Alternate in more detail at PCGH Cyber Week. Although the promotion runs until March 1st, for many deals the quota at the promotional price is falling rapidly. We have picked out cooling solutions for you that you cannot currently get cheaper anywhere than at Alternate.
These air coolers and water coolers are really worth it
A good CPU cooler, be it an air cooler or an all-in-one (AIO) water cooler, is characterized by several factors. Firstly, it should offer high cooling performance to effectively reduce CPU temperatures, which is particularly important when overclocking. Second, low noise is crucial for a pleasant user experience, especially in quiet environments. Thirdly, the cooler should of course be compatible with the CPU socket and case and provide an easy-to-understand, stable installation. High-quality materials and a solid construction are just as important to guarantee longevity and consistently high performance.
Below we have picked out five air coolers and AIO water coolers for which we could not find a better offer, even when comparing prices. In addition to the popular Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro 5 or the NZXT Kraken 240 240 mm, there are also cooling solutions from Corsair, Deepcool and EKL Alpenföhn.
