Verdict

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.

DeepCool AK500S

7.5 / 10 Expert Rating

A sensible budget trim of the AK500 line for builders who don't need the display and want to save a few dollars.
