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.

NZXT T120

7.8 / 10 Expert Rating

A quiet, well-built budget air cooler that mostly sells itself on matching NZXT's case aesthetic rather than chasing the top of the thermal charts.
