Verdict

Corsair H115i Elite Capellix XT

8.4 / 10 Expert Rating

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.

Enermax ETS-T50 AXE ARGB

7 / 10 Expert Rating

A budget ARGB cooler that competes reasonably in its price bracket and offers unusually broad socket support, without standing out against established budget-cooler competitors on raw thermals.
