Verdict

ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 280

8.5 / 10 Expert Rating

Outstanding thermal value at 280mm — the VRM fan is a genuinely useful extra most AIOs lack.

Corsair A115

8.2 / 10 Expert Rating

A capable flagship air cooler whose main draw is fitting neatly into an all-Corsair build rather than leading on raw thermals.
