Who each one is for

The Corsair A115 is the one to take for high-end builds needing roughly 240W of air-cooling headroom, though it is not built for the smallest cases, given the large dual-tower footprint. The same goes for Corsair ecosystem buyers who want a flagship air cooler that matches other iCUE components. It is the wrong buy for buyers chasing the single best raw air-cooling performance, where the Noctua NH-D15 chromax.black, covered elsewhere on this site, generally edges ahead. it is the wrong buy for buyers who prefer subtle, non-RGB aesthetics and the smallest cases, given the 360mm radiator footprint. It also earns its place with buyers who want a strong triple-fan RGB visual statement over a pump-head display. It is not the one for buyers who specifically want a pump-head LCD, where the Galahad II LCD 360, covered elsewhere on this site, has one.

    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.

    Lian Li Galahad II Trinity 360

    8.2 / 10 Expert Rating

    A visually striking 360mm AIO that trades a display for a coordinated triple-fan lighting design many builders will prefer.
