Corsair H115i Elite Capellix XT vs Enermax LIQTECH TR4: Comparison

Corsair H115i Elite Capellix XT vs Enermax LIQTECH TR4: the radiator size difference

Start with radiator size, because it is the widest measured gap between them: Corsair H115i Elite Capellix XT 280 mm against Enermax LIQTECH TR4 360 mm, 22% in favour of Enermax LIQTECH TR4. Fan count runs the same way, 2 on the Corsair H115i Elite Capellix XT versus 3 on the Enermax LIQTECH TR4, another win for Enermax LIQTECH TR4. Add max speed to that, 1700 RPM on the Corsair H115i Elite Capellix XT versus 2300 RPM on the Enermax LIQTECH TR4, and the pattern holds. Fan size is not the same on both, 140 mm on the Corsair H115i Elite Capellix XT versus 120 mm on the Enermax LIQTECH TR4.

Corsair H115i Elite Capellix XT vs Enermax LIQTECH TR4: which one fits your build

Buy the Corsair H115i Elite Capellix XT for 280W-class CPUs where a 280mm radiator fits but 360mm doesn't and builders already using Corsair iCUE for fan and RGB control. It is the wrong buy for builders starting fresh who'd rather use Corsair's newer iCUE Link ecosystem. The Enermax LIQTECH TR4 suits AMD Threadripper sTRX4/TR4 workstations and high-core-count HEDT builds, though it is not the pick for mainstream AM4/AM5/LGA1700 builds and budget-focused workstations. Our rating of the Corsair H115i Elite Capellix XT (8.4/10): A well-rounded 280mm AIO with genuinely improved fans over the standard Elite Capellix, best for builders already committed to Corsair's classic iCUE ecosystem. Our rating of the Enermax LIQTECH TR4 (8/10): the correct choice for Threadripper, full IHS coverage that generic AM5/LGA1700 coolers can't match.
