CPU Comparison Chart

There are a lot of choices in today's quiet CPU market. Many manufacturers are jumping on the quiet computer bandwagon. But just as is the case for "quiet" appliances - actual silence varies.

All of our silent CPU coolers are truly silent and cool effectively. You may choose one over the other because of brand name, reliability, style, dimensions that work with your computer, or the ability to get just a little bit quieter (the difference of less than a few decibels). All of our quiet coolers won't be heard unless you put your ear right up to your computer, but some of these coolers, because of their huge dimensions and ideal design, cool better than others.

The weight and size of the most powerful coolers might be a plus for you, due to increased cooling. Or, it may be a downside for you, especially if you move your computer around a lot because the large coolers are usually over the manufacturer's CPU weight limit. Here we give you dimensional and compatibility information about our coolers in a nutshell.

We hope this helps! Don't hesitate to contact us if you need more specific recommendations.
