If you are familiar with these brands, can you please tell me whether they are good? I'm considering getting some on FrozenCPU (75% off till the 5th), but not familiar with them.

Sorry that my message wasn't clear enough. I'm a reviewer, they are going out of business, so it's an opportunity to save a LOT of money on what they have. There is a very long list of coolers (and a few fans and thermal pads) from those manufacturers available, although mostly from the first 3, and only 1 from the last. If it's worth it, I want to at least get some of them. I don't have lots of money and no donors, so I have to be cautious.

As I'm a reviewer, noise, RPMs, etc. are not relevant. I would've picked up an AIO from them but they weren't discounted and now they're gone.

Also, I'm focusing on lesser-known brands as Noctua et al, and there are no famous brands on that website (unless Silverstone is still famous), I'm not worried about the over-reviewed brands.

For my testing, I'll also be getting thermal pads of various thicknesses.

Please advise!
 
I looked through the list and, aside from one LGA1700, the next newest was LGA1200. Since people say that 11th gen Intel wasn't good, I didn't get the latter. There was nothing more recent for AMD than AM3.
I sent a message to support offering to buy a lot more stuff for a bigger discount, but got no answer. Oh well. 😀
 
A lot of these look like something for servers or low profile computers and they can't handle anything more than a 65W CPU.

These might be fun to look at as a curiosity, but you'd be catering to a very niche market.
Yeah, it just didn't seem worth it to review coolers that are mostly for CPUs that are no longer of interest to most people.

That would be exactly why they are 75% off and the AIO's weren't. Not that hard to modify the bracket, or buy one on ebay or get one for free from the manufacturer sometimes and even a 120mm AIO is still @ 150w, Hyper212 evo ability. Coolers like the Silverstone NT07 Nitrogen low profile, you'd have to pay Me! to take it off your hands...
