Arctic Freezer III, either 360 or 420 version. Best price-to-performance ratio out there. EK Basic 360 is another solid option if you can't find the Arctic in stock.

The Corsair iCUE H150i Elite LCD XT and the H170i Elite LCD XT are frequently recommended. The H170i edges out the H150i in performance, but both are excellent choices.

Noted!

Honestly I love the competition between the big brands right now! Comparing stuff like Deepcool and Lian Li is basically my favorite hobby because they both have such amazing designs lately!! It is so cool how they focus on the look of the pump head just as much as the radiator performance. Speaking of looks, it totally reminds me of my first big build last summer when I spent like three hours just trying to get the cable management perfect in my mid-tower. I was so obsessed with making the back look clean that I actually forgot to plug in the front panel connectors before I closed it up!

• Spent way too much on custom white cables
• My thumb still hurts from those tiny zip ties
• The RGB controller was a total nightmare to hide I ended up having to take the whole thing apart again anyway just to find a screw I dropped into the power supply shroud. Pretty sure that screw is gone forever tho... anyway lol sorry kinda went off topic there!

NZXT Kraken X73 has been solid for my 13900K build. Clean aesthetics with the infinity mirror pump and the performance handles the heat output well. I'd recommend the RGB version only if you care about the lighting though, otherwise save the money for the standard version.
