Is there a good aggregation of cooler performance somewhere? I've recently completed a build for the first time in a decade and was pleasantly surprised by tools like PC Part Picker, the assembly was a breeze (many micro improvements by everyone), and everything 'just worked'. Literally the only question I was out cold for was which cooler is good enough? With some coolers rivaling RAM costs and cases having fixings…

https://www.frostytech.com/ used to be good but I’ve not looked in many years so I’ve no idea if they’re still useful.

I did a lot of research for a theadripper, including AIO liquid cooling and all the reviews said noctua fans were as just as effective and as quiet for a fraction of the price and complexity.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The Gamer Nexus reviews are independent and extremely methodical and honest. It's by far the best PC components reviewer on YouTube right now.

YouTube is almost completely useless for reviews. You can't scroll the video, meaning you have to watch almost all of it to realize they're actually not evaluating the metrics you are interested in. One would think a video would make it harder for a reviewer to just parrot official PR, but alas... The only time I ever find a YouTube review of interest is when e.g you are actually showing some physical characteristic…

yd-dl / youtube-download helps.

The ice giant thermosiphon seems to be the state of the art right now from what I’ve seen. To the point where that’s being used by the world’s top overclocker instead of water cooling loops. If I were building a system I’d just slap one of those in, buy some Noctuas for quieter fan operation and ignore it, and let the CPU turbo to its hearts content.

I didn't know about them, so I've checked, IceGiant ProSiphon Elite vs Noctua NH-D15,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0OQxbMvo80

At min 26:30 it's shown test results, and the performance seems better with Noctua NH-D15. Less noise (less rpm) for the same temperature dissipation.

Noctua's performance with low noise is among the main reasons why I own one since several years ago ( And also why I choose air-cooling over water-cooling). It would be interesting to know if someone has beaten them (At same performance, less weight would be something for to take in account).

It was probably taken down for being published before the embargo dropped, since it shows the 7700X.

Nope. Other links on main page also do not work, someone fucked something up

World’s top overclockers use liquid nitrogen

The 7700X came out months ago, the one supposedly coming out soon is the 7700X3D.

This cooler itself doesn't have a fan, but it looks like the test system has at least 4 large case fans, including 2 directly inline with the cooler. And sounds from the text like the fans were spinning. I love Noctua, but a totally fanless system would be a more interesting test.

Well, that is.. unlikely. With a bigger CPU, you'll need to add a fan to the cooler, as well. And your mainboard/ram/gpu/ssds generate a lot of unwanted heat, too.

Might work for extremely energy efficient systems, though.
