Third party CPU coolers are gaining popularity today. The inadequate cooling provided by stock coolers has made users look elsewhere for third party coolers which performs much better. A test for some of the top CPU coolers are carried out to check which is the best. Test are carried out on ASUS Silent Knight, ASUS Silent Square Pro, Noctua NH-U12F, ThermalFly F1-IACSHA, Zalman CNPS9700 LED running from lowest to highest fan speed and Zalman CNPS9500 LED. The difference from this third party coolers are not much with the exception of ThermalFly. It is the worst performer in this round of tests. Zalman CNPS9700 LED running at full fan top this tests. Not all coolers are tested though. Coolers from ThermalTake and Ninja are not included. ThermalTake Big Typhoon, ThermalTake Beetle and Ninja Scythe are not included for this round of tests. They might be included in future tests as they are one of the best coolers available today.
