Does your computer always feel unnecessarily hot? Slow or sluggish in applications? Maybe it makes a lot of whirring noises after extended use? If so, chances are, yes you should probably consider an upgrade. Even just a 200 AED cooler will do wonders for system thermals and noise, as well as possibly giving you a nice little performance boost too.
A single CPU cooler can have a variety of different fan sizes, noises, and speeds. The exact assembly process of the cooler will also vary, depending on whether you have an AMD or Intel CPU system. Some coolers are optimized with CPU socket sizes that will fit either AMD or Intel.
Good thermal paste can have a profound impact on your performance, because it will allow your processor to transfer more of its waste heat to your cooler, keeping your processor running cool.

Air coolers
There are a few reasons that you may want to choose an air cooler over a liquid cooler. Air coolers are much less complex than liquid coolers and are therefore cheaper to manufacture, which brings the cost down for consumers
Air coolers are more reliable in the long run as they have only 1 mechanical part which is the fan, and a fan can be easily replaced if it fails. Air coolers are generally quite easy to install, and usually only have 1 or 2 cables to plug in for hassle free installation.
All In One Coolers
AIOs offer more cooling potential than many mainstream air coolers, which is great for more cooling more powerful components as well as overclocking. If you are looking to get an extreme overclock on a high-end CPU then an AIO is the best option. AIO liquid coolers are also great in smaller form factor systems, where large air coolers might not fit. As long as your case has the appropriate mounting points for the radiator, an AIO cooler will probably fit.
AIO coolers can also be a good fit for cases with limited airflow, as most of the heat is contained within the coolant loop and can be exhausted out of the case through the radiator.
