CPU Air Coolers

Air coolers are mostly used by every gamer because they adjust with the money in your pocket and also if you need basic cooling for your PC while gaming this one is perfect for you.

CPU air coolers are just the upgraded version of normal stock coolers which are cheaper than the air coolers and give less satisfaction. These Air Coolers give their performance according to what purpose they are made for and are best for you.

Liquid Air Coolers/ All in one Air coolers

These coolers are for gamers who have enough money in their pocket because they cost more than the normal CPU air cooler and also give more performance compared to the air cooler. Gamers mostly buy this Liquid cooler because they give a more stylish look to the CPU cabinet with 4-5 RGB fans and it will look like a Monster.

But most of the air coolers include RGB and some don't. Talking about the number of RGB Fans, liquid coolers leads the way. The Liquid coolers have more components compared to CPU coolers but they actually fit in the CPU cabinet and also they give much better performance than CPU Air coolers.
