Corsair iCUE H100i Elite Capellix Liquid CPU Cooler

First off, being new to computer assembling I've learned that there will be short comings with items from popular manufacturers and omitted accessories that ideally should have been included with the product to begin with. It's also worth noting that reviews and Q&As between variants are often mixed together. So don't rely on a single person's judgment as you may be misled to order an inappropriate items. Since my build is not done due to lack of availability of the part's I'm after I hope to be back with an update with operation performance and build photos. So far this review is about case compatibility. I had purchased this cooler for my first PC build. It's housed in a Corsair 4000X case. Installation: It was super easy. I had read reviews about troubling screws. Rather than assuming these folks are malnourished I'm going to guess that previous revisions of this item did indeed have poor QC and *hopefully* had since been improved. Or maybe since I have a driver bit set I'm able to use an appropriate fitting philips-head driver and not one too large or small. Folks who had received damaged or used items should take that up with the distributor/sender, not the manufacturer. It's sad to see these details reflecting product reviews. The Commander Core and fans: I had removed the lighting node core included with the case and installed the Commander Core module horizontally in place of the SSD brackets. I'd rather keep the mounts for future decisions and mount the Commander Core onto the MB accessory tray that you can't purchase anywhere - so clearly not an option. The Commander Core can drive 6 fans (both 3 pin 4 pin models) and their RGB. So it should be able to drive the 3 PWM fans included with the 4000X case. The case doesn't include an exhaust fan so if you want to use that for the remaining open sockets your best option is the CORSAIR iCUE SP120 RGB Elite which is now available to purchase in single packs (was not the case when I had made my initial purchases). Luckily they hit the market before I could buy the last component for my build. If I had a do-over; I'd get the 3x120mm cooler, mount it to the front of the case and move the included case fans to the top and back which looks to be better price and performance - though the cooler and cooler fans would likely be mounted in a less optimum position according to the included installation guide, I feel it would be worth a shot and there would be no worries about RAM clearance on the top of the case. Since I don't want to change the appearance of the fan positions I will keep it on top and had decided to go with the LPX, non RGB ram from Corsair as they are the only solution to this problem. I hope folks see this review and it clears up some elusive details. I'm sure there's more surprises to come for my build. So far; 4 stars. There are potential build implications that really should be in the product description and not buried in the Q&As. Though the issues are merely about product and placement compatibility, I am using the most modern products of the same manufacturer. Any potential implications should be up-front information before you buy the product, not after you've put it together. Update; Computer is built and running! The AIO is working fantastically and the ICUE software is very easy to use and far more customizable than I had assumed (you can program an individual LED!) Plus it's super quiet! Review changed to 5 stars. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this product. My only gripe is simply the manufacture's retail info that isn't so forthright about location to hardware compatibility and you can ONLY use the LPX ram when you install the unit to the top of the case - which is suggested to be the most optimum position according to Corsair. This location compatibility problem is due to the thickness of the radiator and fans. I'd guess this would be a common issue between all top mounted AIO coolers. I'd rather have better cooling over RGB ram sticks so it's certainly no compromise in my eyes. Right now I have the pump's LEDs set to reflect the CPU temp and the fans set to show the GPU temp - both based off of user and manufacturer records on the internet. Plus a little more flash with additional layers in ICUE.

Mantiene las temperaturas muy bajas de la caja y del CPU funciona bien, la aplicación para controlar la velocidad de la bomba de agua y ventiladores funciona excelente no se traba te permite manejar colores, perfiles de colores y velocidad individual o grupal de los ventiladores, recomiendo utilizar con ventiladores extra corsair con RGB, para tener más personalización y control sobre la velocidad de los ventiladores y sus temperaturas. Muy bien producto

Come ogni prodotto Corsair acquistato finora, anche questo non tradisce le aspettative per estetica, prestazioni e qualità. Prestazioni Per quanto riguarda le prestazioni sono abbastanza elevate, la temperatura sotto carico (Ryzen 9 5900X Overclockato tramite PBO) non supera i 60 gradi. Mentre in gaming i picchi di frequenza portano le temperature a raggiungere i 70 gradi di massimale, ma si parla solo di oscillazioni visto che la temperatura media si attesta intorno ai 55 gradi. Circa 5 gradi in meno in gaming e addirittura 10 gradi in multicore, rispetto al mio vecchio H100i RGB platinum se. Estetica Per quanto riguarda il lato estetico ho sempre amato le versioni bianche dei prodotti Corsair: Case, ventole, ram, rigorosamente bianchi!!! Le ventole predefinite sono le ML120, le ho sostituite con delle LL120, a mio parere molto più belle esteticamente, tra le più belle in circolazione. La placchetta della pompa è intercambiabile, oltre quella classica predefinita nella confezione ne viene fornita una completamente bianca, a mio parete molto più bella. Grazie ad Icue tutto l'ecosistema corsair crea effetti luminosi favolosi e funziona in perfetta sincronia. Qualità e funzionalità Sicuramente uno tra i migliori prodotti Corsair mai acquistato, mantiene alla perfezione le premesse e le promesse fatte qualitativamente e funzionalmente. Installazione abbastanza semplice, anche se il Commander core XT nella confezione non ha porte RGB e si è costretti ad usare almeno un Commander Pro, PWR repeater, Lightning node core e node pro ecc ecc. se si devono gestire quantitativi di ventole elevati e/o strisce led. Se proprio devo impegnarmi a fare il pignolo posso solo menzionare la rumorosità delle ventole, oltre i 1200rpm aumenta esponenzialmente e il leggerissimo suono che emette la pompa usandola su "bilanciato" (su "silenzioso" è inudibile). Qualche problemino anche col cavo CPU 4+4 in alto a sinistra sulla mobo nel case 5000D Airflow, tocca l'ultima ventola del radiatore e sono stato costretto a far curvare il cavo abbastanza bruscamente. Conclusioni Davvero eccezzionale come prodotto e sono molto soddisfatto delle performance e del risultato. Un componente dalla validità indiscutibile oltretutto con l'uscita dei kit con schermo LCD, con questi modelli elite è possibile smontare la parte RGB della pompa e sostituirla con quella con schermo LCD. Spero esca presto la versione bianca.....

Recientemente he instalado esta maravilla, la AIO H150i elite capellix en mi Corsair Airflow 540 (aunque en teoría no está aconsejado, en el frontal, y caber cabe, sin hacer peripecias). A nivel de montaje, lleva su rato, aunque lo peor de todo es la forma de encajar con el procesador AMD. No me gusta en absoluto. Los ventiladores son muy, muy, muy buenos, eficaces, no demasiado ruidosos (hasta determinadas RPM), bonitos de estética LED y regulables a través de software de Corsair. La bomba, depende de la suerte que te haga mucho o poco ruido. En mi caso, de dos reacondicionadas, una directamente se bloqueó. La otra hacía cosas raras. La lotería del "reaco". En todo caso, os aconsejo el modo velocidad variable de la bomba. A nivel de temperaturas, me ha sorprendido muy gratamente con Zero RPM, manteniendo un AMD 9 5900x a raya, aunque en lo alto, se me iba a 90º con todas las configuraciones con cinebench multicore, con single core, no llegaba a 60º. Aunque soy muy fan de Corsair, de sus AIO (vengo de una H100i v2), no me acaba de convencer, pagar más de 150 euros, con una durabilidad de 4 a 6 años en el mejor de los casos. Prefiero mi NH-D15 de Noctua, y duermo más tranquilo. Ahora bien, si eliges esta AIO, configuras bien las curvas, tiene mucho recorrido para hacer OC. Lo único, serían los ventiladores, ya que considero que si bien son buenos para AIO, no son los mejores y el ruido a partir de 1500 - 1700 rpm, llega a ser molesto. No he llegado a probar esta AIO con unos buenos Noctua para disipadores, pero creo que sería el maridaje perfecto.

Easy to install and the commander node is great as it has 6 x RGB fan ports AND 6 x fan power ports (4-pin). This makes cable management very easy for airflow control. iCue software is easy to install and understand. Be very careful when ordering which size of cooler - especially if mounting on the TOP of your case. The 280mm cooler may hit the top of your RAM sticks. After a lot of reading, I went the 240mm route and this seems the best and safest option ... but make sure you do your research first. Keeps the CPU cool (5600X high 30C at idle) and maybe 50C under gaming. Also nice and quiet. Would reccomend this cooler.

Arrivé rapidement 👌 Tout était bien emballé et protégé Les explications pour le monter sont claires et la pâte thermique est déjà mise dessus 🤩 Je recommande!
