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.
A classic air cooler, Cooler Master’s Hyper 212 Pro sports four direct-touch copper heatpipes and a single SickleFlow Edge 120 PWM. This combination supports up to 230W TDP, and the asymmetrical design also provides ample clearance for RAM. At almost 50% off, this deal is too good to pass up for all but the most powerful of processors.
Another newer player in the market, PCCooler CPS, has an incredible deal on a low-profile CPU heatsink, the RC600-67. The compact (67.5mm tall) six-heatpipe design claims a 205W TDP, but for optimal results, it is recommended to pair it with lower-power processors. PCCooler also includes 2g of GT-10 thermal paste to sweeten the 29% off deal.
Jonsbo isn’t a household brand for coolers, but at 33% off, the price is right for this dual-tower, dual-fan heatsink. Snaking their way through the radiators are six heat pipes with two included fans (120x25mm and 130x25mm), which are said to dissipate up to 280W. Jonsbo also features an RGB design on top for those seeking additional flair from their CPU cooler; just ensure your RAM fits underneath.
The Dark Rock Pro 5 offers high-end cooling performance (listed TDP of 270W) according to be quiet! Virtually inaudible operation. The dual-tower, seven copper heatpipe setup also includes two Silent Wings fans to dissipate the heat quietly. At under $95 and nearly 25% off, it's worth it, just make sure it fits. Use promo code BNE4358 for an additional $15 discount.
The NZXT Kraken Elite 240 is an all black AIO that comes with two D120P fans and has a customizable 2.72” UPS LCD on the NZXT turbine pump. The $90 (37%) price drop brings what used to be an expensive option back into the cheaper premium category with an LCD screen.
ID-Cooling’s SL360 is one of the least expensive 360mm AIOs with an LCD display (2.1-inch) on the upgraded pump. You get three cool-looking AS-120 fans to help keep your system running cool and quiet. The large 360mm radiator will let any enthusiast-class CPU reach its full potential. If your build requires RGBs, the SL360 at 109.99 (from $139.99) is another great deal.
