Coolers & Cooling
An effective cooling solution is essential to ensure the stability, longevity, and performance of your PC. Whether you're a hardcore gamer or working on resource-intensive software, your processor can heat up - sometimes excessively. If the heat is not dissipated properly, performance drops, components wear out faster, and your PC may even crash.
Fortunately, there are several solutions to keep your processor cool: the classic air cooler or the more sophisticated AIO water cooling. At DropReference, we help you choose the right option based on your setup, budget, and case.
Air Cooler: Simple and Effective
The air cooler is a simple, reliable, and cost-effective cooling solution. It's often sufficient for a classic gaming setup, even with a powerful processor. Brands like Be Quiet!, Noctua, or Cooler Master offer high-performance, quiet models compatible with most sockets (Intel or AMD).
The advantage of an air cooler is its excellent price-to-performance ratio. You can find options for under €50 that keep your CPU at a good temperature even during intensive gaming sessions.
AIO Water Cooling: Premium Cooling
For those who want to overclock their processor, reduce noise, or simply enhance their RGB setup, AIO (All-in-One) water cooling systems are a great choice. They are easy to install, require no maintenance, and offer excellent thermal dissipation.
Available in 120mm, 240mm, or 360mm formats, they fit most modern cases - as long as compatibility is verified. Our DropReference configurator shows you in one click if your case can accommodate a 240 AIO, for example.

With our PC cooling price comparison tool, you'll find all the best brands: Arctic, NZXT, Corsair, Thermaltake… at the best prices. You can sort by socket, height, case compatibility, or RGB presence.
Our free configurator checks that your cooler or AIO is compatible with your motherboard and case. You save time, avoid errors, and save money on your PC cooling.
FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions About PC Cooling
- Is an air cooler sufficient for gaming?
Yes. A good air cooler is more than enough for standard gaming use, except in cases of intensive overclocking. - Is water cooling really useful?
It provides better temperatures and often quieter operation, useful for very powerful or overclocked CPUs. - What size cooler does my case accept?
Check the maximum height indicated in your case's product sheet. Our configurator will show you this automatically. - Does RGB mean better performance?
No, it's just for aesthetics. But if you want a flashy setup, it's a nice visual plus!
At DropReference, we help you stay cool under all circumstances. Whether you prefer a budget air cooler or a quiet RGB AIO, we showcase the best deals and guide you in making the right choices - without headaches or overheating.
