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.
Scythe Ninja 5
8 / 10 Expert Rating
A quietly capable dual-tower cooler that continues Scythe's long tradition of acoustics-first value engineering.
