The hot secondary beams emerging from the production targets can hardly be used, unless they are cooled. Beam stacking of low-abundant species relies on cooling. Cooling enables high-precision experiments with stored beams, counteracts the heating during internal target operation and controls decelerated beams. New challenges lie ahead within the FAIR project like (i) the ongoing integration downstream of the ESR of the low-energy CRYRING with its electron cooler, (ii) the developments for the demanding CR stochastic cooling system, (iii) the stacking scenarios with RF and stochastic cooling in the HESR/RESR. The function and parameters of the existing and future beam cooling systems are summarized. We report on the latest hardware developments as well as on improvements of the controls and operation software. Recent highlights and results from beam manipulations with cooling at GSI are shown. In focus are those benchmarking experiments, where the concepts for the new FAIR systems are verified.
