* Sound level, measured in dB(A) at 100% fan RPM.
Note #1: Coolers within a row section are listed in order of typical price, not performance.
Note #2: A CPU not being listed does not always mean a cooler is not adequate for it, it may just mean it is overkill.
Note #3: As sound level is measured at 100% fan RPM, a lower number does not always mean better. If cooler A with a louder fan at 100% only has to work at 20% to achieve the same temperature as cooler B at 50%, cooler A may be quieter.
Note #4: OC = Overclock
