Cooling - Air

AMD and Intel CPUs produce a lot of waste heat, and without a sufficient cooler will overheat, shutting down or damaging your system. It’s critical therefore to choose an appropriate CPU cooler.

This category contains a huge variety of all-in-one hydrocoolers for AMD and Intel CPUs. These coolers combine a waterblock, pump, tubing, radiator, fans and coolant into a single, sealed unit that's simple to install and doesn't require maintenance or filling. These particular hydrocoolers attach to a pair of free 120mm fan mounts in your case.

Before you start browsing it’s important to know what sort of CPU you have, as AMD and Intel CPUs use different processor sockets and mounting mechanisms. These designs can change over time too, so its important to check your component documentation or our buyers guide to find out which sort of CPU cooler you should be looking for.

These coolers combine a waterblock, pump, tubing, radiator, fans and coolant into a single, sealed unit that's simple to install and doesn't require maintenance or filling. These particular hydrocoolers attach to three free 120mm fan mounts in your case.

This category lists a huge variety of air-coolers for Intel Core, Pentium and Celeron CPUs. Before you start browsing it’s important to know what CPU you have, as each generation of Intel CPUs uses different processor sockets and mounting mechanisms. Check your component documentation or our buyers guide to find out which sort of CPU cooler you should be looking for.

It's also a good idea to check the dimensions of the air-cooler you're interested in versus your case, as some air-coolers are too large to fit in all cases.

Not all coolers fit all of Intel and AMD's processor sockets, so these kits can be used to make a heatsink work with a previously-unsupported motherboard. This category also includes spare screws, fan attachment brackets and other accessories for popular coolers - perfect if you've lost a crucial component.

Third-party coolers are to replace the standard cooler on your graphics card when overclocking. This may prevent damage to the components and can also decrease fan noise on certain graphics cards.

High-end memory modules can be overclocked to deliver extra speed. If you fancy ramping up your RAM, coolers like these will improve heat dissipation and prevent turbo-charged chips from overheating. They look fantastic, too, so they're useful if you're going for a particular aesthetic in your latest PC build.

PC components produce a lot of waste heat, and without a sufficient cooling will overheat, shutting down or damaging your system. It’s critical therefore to choose an appropriate cooler.

The last thing to bear in mind when choosing a CPU, GPU or SSD cooler is Thermal Interface Material (TIM). This is a thin layer of paste that you spread out between the top of the component and the bottom of the heatsink or waterblock. TIM helps conduct heat out of the CPU by smoothing out imperfections in the surface on either side and is essential for good cooling.

Many coolers come with TIM pre-applied or packaged in a small syringe for you to apply, but it's worth checking before ordering. You can check for the presence of TIM on the product page of the cooler on the Scan website and clicking on the Specifications tab.

The products in this category provide a quick and easy way to remove unwanted Thermal Interface Material (TIM) without damaging your components. This may be because you're upgrading and need to replenish the TIM or want to replace the current TIM with a superior TIM.

PC components emit a lot of waste heat, and whether you opt for an air-cooler, all-in-one hydrocooler or custom watercooling loop your case will need fans to keep everything cool.

This category contains a huge variety of 40mm and 60mm fans, these are typically used to cool individual components such as RAM and drive bays.

Keep an eye out for the airflow, normally measured in CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) with a higher number indicating more airflow. It's also worth looking at the sound level, normally measured in dBA, with a lower number indicating less noise.

Laptop stands are perfect if you regularly use your laptops at a desk. They can lift a laptop higher to help improve posture, prop the keyboard at a more comfortable position, and increase the amount of space that's available on your desk. And, if you've got a laptop that runs very hot, try a cooler - the extra fan(s) should be enough to help chill your laptop.
