I've been cooling custom PCs with everything from toothpaste to fully bespoke loops, and these are the coolest Prime Day deals I've found this year

Wait 5 sec.

Honestly, finding good cooler deals this Amazon Prime Day seems to be, by and large, quite the challenge. I spent hours trying to collate the best of them into a single list like this. I don't know what it is, maybe all the ethanol's being used up in AI datacentres somehow, or big AIO is slowly creeping the prices up so they can secretly match their profit margins to the memory boys. It's a conspiracy I tell you. Still, I've been cooling PCs since I was, but a wee boy, and overclocking them for just as long, and these are the sure-fire picks I'd be considering for my next machine (if I could afford the SSD). And, I mean, alright, I have taken a bit of liberty here as well; there's even a Razer laptop cooling pad with an air-tight pressure seal thrown in for if you're one of those portable people, but still good deals all around, even some notable mentions from our best of coolers list too.We're curating all the best Prime Day PC gaming deals hereAIO Liquid CoolersYeah, let's be fair, I do love a good air tower as much as the next hardware enthusiast (particularly if it's beige and brown and rhymes with not you err), but the undisputed kings of convenience and performance are closed-loop liquid AIO liquid coolers, I know it, you know it, we all know it. Slightly finicky when things go wrong, but seriously easy to install, and in modern-times, remarkably dependable.And I've found three stellar options, too, for you to peruse over. Corsair's Nautilus 360 RS it's simple, affordable, and remarkably robust. Then there's Phantek's Glacier One 360M25-LCD with its humongous 6-inch display, and Tryx's Panorama SE, complete with curved OLED. All 360mm all of the time. Corsair Nautilus 360 RS | 360mm Phanteks Glacier One 360M25-LCD | 360 Tryx Panorama SE 360 ARGB | 360mm The full detailsSometimes you just need a cheap, affordable, reliable 360mm AIO, and that is exactly what the Nautilus 360 is. Is it the best cooler out there? No, not really, Arctic's Liquid Cooler holds that title, but for what it's worth, its a plain, basic, wham-bam thankyou mam non-RGB (I know I'm in shock too) solution that just gets the job done, and at its lowest ever price of just $76 down from $110 on Amazon (cheaper than Arctic in fact).View DealThen there's the Phanteks Glacier One 360M25-LCD. Now I haven't technically tested this one specifically, but I have used practically every other Phanteks Glacier AIO out there, and then some, and I can safely report they're surprisingly reliable, quiet, and come with some of the minimal BS fans I've ever seen. They're just so simple to daisy-chain together, and there's no RGB nonsense, or hubs, or madness to deal with. The LCD version, though, comes with a 6-inch configurable LCD display that sits on top of the CPU block for a staggeringly cheap $110 at Newegg after rebate and a coupon code's slapped on (promo code: PHAF448)View DealLastly, and because everything needs a curved OLED screen, Tryx's Panorama SE ARGB 360 is currently on sale for $252 down from $280 as well, courtesy of Newegg. Now, despite the moniker and the lower price tag, this is effectively a second generation of Tryx's initial curved OLED design, and it improves significantly on the initial design. So you can skip the OG 360 and opt for this one instead. The fans are better, you can rotate the screen, and it's a smaller CPU block. Tick, tick, tick.View DealAir TowersOh yes, finally, I get to talk about the good stuff. The unsung hero of the gaming PC that's lost the limelight thanks to its flashy liquid-filled cousins. Air towers. Love them, loathe them, the overall designs have come a long way in the last few years. If you're fed up of fiddling around with cruddy little metal clips, have I got news for you, because both my picks are super quick and super easy to install, no clips required.There's three on display here, and I'll wax lyrical about all of them, because I've had hands-on time building with each, and testing them equally, and well, I can tell you right now Sudokoo's SK700V AM5 is a stellar little kit, and so is be quiet!'s Dark Rock Elite. Cooler Master's Hyper 212 Pro is based off a classic, and honestly, if you're on an Ultra 5 or a Ryzen 5 for that matter, it's a good shout. Sudokoo SK700V AM5 | 1x 120mm be quiet! Dark Rock Elite | 2x 120mm Cooler Master Hyper 212 Pro ARGB | 1x 120mm The full detailsYou've got Sudokoo SK700V AM5. Now this is a brand new design, from a fledgling company straight out of Singapore. There's rumors suggesting this is actually a Thermalright design licensed out, but to be honest, it's seriously slick. You get a built-in digital display (it's not a fully controllable OLED), a single 120mm fan, and one of the most intricate fin layouts I've ever seen. It's super easy to install too, with a single USB cable for the display, but more importantly, the fan and the screen (combined into a single unit) slide in on a single rail, locking into place. Nice. I scored it 92% in a review (coming soon), at its full $90 price, needn't matter, reduced to $72 thanks to Amazon. One caveat, it's AMD only unless you buy an Intel bracket for a little extra (still a bug bear).View DealLastly, it's a similarly themed design in many ways. Be Quiet!'s Dark Rock Elite 280W CPU cooler packs in two fans (again, both on rails) into a super clean footprint that lock into place beautifully, making it impressively easy to install. And yes, it's got RGB in the roof, because of course it does. But, it is only $67.90 now, thanks to a hefty 22% saving on Newegg.View DealRemarkably affordable, Cooler Master's Hyper 212 line has long been a staple for those on a budget looking for something with a bit more grunt than the stock coolers that come with both AMD and Intel's offerings, and the 212 Pro delivers some seriously impressive bang for the buck. Particularly as its had its price slashed all the way down to just $19.99 thanks to Amazon.View DealFans & The Misc ListI mean, theoretically, this is technically a sort of cornucopia of fans if nothing else, I mean, the third one does count. Sort of… Fans though they're a field that's seemingly got ridiculously expensive for no good reason. Like, the cost of a good modern RGB fan is just astounding, and it really shouldn't be.Still, there's three options to toy with here. We've got Lian Li's Uni Fan SL-Inf Wireless. NZXT's F360 RGB Core (made famous with its refresh of the H7 Flow), and then, well, I've added a laptop cooler in for good measure, which is surprisingly interesting all things considered. Lian Li UNI Fan SL Wireless 120mm ARGB Fan - Triple Pack NZXT F360 RGB Core Razer Razer Laptop Cooling Pad The full detailsLian Li's Uni FAN SL-Inf Wireless 120mm Black triple pack. What a name. These, though, I've used most recently in a pretty slick Phanteks Evolv X2 build, and after some fiddling, they're surprisingly easy to set up and configure. I mean the software's a little funky, and I'm not so sure I'm that sold on a giant USB dongle hanging out the back of my chassis for them, but there's no denying they look seriously clean, and reduced down from $75 to $65 on Amazon (particularly when they regularly retail for $90+) is a healthy saving when you need six to nine to kit out a rig.View DealIf you're more cost-conscious and can't deal with the daisy-chaining nonsense, NZXT's F360 Core RGB line is currently on offer too, at a staggeringly low $30, down from around $70, in black or white editions. They're seriously clean, four screws to install, two cables out (one if you use a compatible fan controller), and done. Nice.View DealThen my wild card, the old Razer Laptop Cooling Pad. RGB? Check. Air-tight pressure chamber with a giant fan? Check. USB ports? Check. If all you want to do is hide away for the summer and pretend it's 2005 again, cranking out Molten Core runs in classic, this is your guy. Amazingly, Razer's knocked $50 off this thing, bringing it down to an astonishingly low $120.View Deal
