The best AIO coolers will keep your CPU cool while staying quiet. Here are the top liquid coolers to look out for in 2022 and why they are the best around.

An all-in-one liquid cooler not only ensures quieter cooling than a traditional air cooler, but it might even lower temperatures enough to let you overclock further. AIOs are a super simple way to water-cool your PC without any mess or the headache of choosing components. We also recommend investing in a liquid cooler if you have or are planning to buy a high-performance processor like the new Intel Core i9-12900K or AMD's Ryzen 9 5950x.

The Corsair iCUE H100i RGB Pro XT is the result of Corsair's years of making AIO coolers. Thanks to the iCUE software, you can sync up all of your various RGB accessories for a unified look inside your build. Additionally, the software allows you to check on your CPU and coolant temperature to make sure everything is running smoothly.

When it comes to raw thermal performance, the Arctic Liquid Freezer II is the best 360mm AIO cooler on the market. It reaches similar performance to competing coolers from NZXT and Corsair while being very inexpensive. Currently selling for about $140, the price is comparable to and in some cases lesser than most competitive 360mm AIO coolers out there.

NZXT's third-generation Kraken X coolers are well worth the asking prices. The cooler is now available in an all-white finish with two 120mm Aer RGB 2 fans making it perfect for your next white PC build. This 240mm model clocks in at around $145, which still isn't too expensive. The design is much more appealing than Arctic's offering while achieving similar levels of thermal performance.

120 mm AIOs usually aren't very good, but the Corsair H80i v2 is the best 120 mm AIO around. Without proper surface area on the radiator, most 120 mm coolers just aren't up to snuff when it comes to cooling power. The Corsair H80i v2 solves that problem. The radiator is twice as thick, clocking in at 49mm compared to the standard 25mm. The H80i v2 doesn't match the cooling performance of a 240mm radiator, but it gets a lot closer than a standard 120 mm one.

Cooler Master offers a range of"lite" AIOs, which are basically previous iterations of Cooler Master's MasterLiquid line with increased socket support and double FEP tubing. At around $85, the Cooler Master ML240L v2 is the best budget AIO available. It comes with a 240mm radiator, two RGB fans, and a small RGB controller. Thermal performance isn't great, and the noise level is higher than some more costly options.
