The best air cooler for a CPU in 2025 is the Noctua NH-D15 G2. It combines loads of heatpipes with excellent fans and the latest design to optimise performance and minimise noise. What more could you ask for? Smaller? Er, better scroll on for that. A dual-tower, dual-fan cooler with the ability to keep even some of the most demanding CPUs chilly—Noctua hasn't left anything on the table with this impressive, and impressively huge, cooler. Noctua spent nearly a decade developing just the fan included on the NH-D15 G2. Yep, it was being developed internally for an age before we heard about it, and then I spent another couple years patiently waiting for it. Well, now the 140 mm version, the NF-A14x25r G2 PWM, is here and it's excellent for the energy spent on designing it.
"For top-tier chip chilling, look no further than Noctua's latest and greatest, the NH-D15 G2. It's liquid cooling level." (Jacob Ridley, PC Gamer)
