We’ve already compiled a list of the Best CPU coolers, covering the top models we've reviewed, which is informative for a wide variety of readers who only want the best. But the list below includes not only the best Black Friday deals but also those that perform well for their price points. Some may handle thermals and noise better than others, but the intent here is to utilize our knowledge and expertise to identify the best deals currently available, while ensuring compatibility.
AMD and Intel offer a wide range of processors, with varying performance and power levels. From basic low-power chips to high-power, high-core/thread count chips that excel in multitasking, they all need to be kept cool to prevent thermal throttling under heavy loads, so you can get the most out of your processor. If you need help with CPU performance hierarchy or choosing the best CPU for gaming , we can have you covered.
To simplify your search, we’ve organized our top deals by air cooler and AIO, covering a broad range of sizes and capabilities. This includes dual-tower to low-profile air coolers, as well as AIOs ranging from 240mm to 360mm (we did not find any worthy deals on 120/140mm AIOs). We also provide the Thermal Design Power (TDP) for each air cooler to help match them with the most suitable processor. We’ll keep a close eye on the best deals as Black Friday and the holiday deals season progress. These are the top current deals we found at the most popular e/retailers.
