Corsair iCUE H150i ELITE CAPELLIX Liquid CPU Cooler (High-Performance Pump Head, 33 Ultra-Bright RGB LEDs, Three 120 mm CORSAIR ML RGB Series PWM Fans, Corsair iCUE Commander CORE Included) - White

I originally bought this aio for the ryzen 9 5950x but due to a overheating problem from the supplier I bought it from I had to get a replacement I havent got it yet but I can share my thoughts on my current build.This aio cooler I managed to get it on sale. It is a really good cooler and it is very quiet. It can be a bit loud at times due to me using the ryzen 7 2700 because of the 12nm tdp so it does need a good cooler to cool it down the new 7nm chips will be better with this aio.The icue software center is quite useful it allows me to control the rgb and the fans. Some people are saying the am4 mounting is terrible on this cooler. I wouldn't listen to the people who are complaining about it. For me it was quite easy to mount. You are not supposed to tighten them to a point where it can't be hooked they need to be kept loose then once hooked then tighten them.The only downside is the screws provided are not that great so I had to use the left over motherboard screws. The screws provided were cheaply done and did not catch the top slot of my case each time they were tightened they fell through.Other than the fans are good. Liquid cooling keeps my cpu cool and does what it says. Which is simply to cool your cpu. It can handle pretty much any processor you throw at it. And for the value of money it is fine for my needs.

With this new PC build (and expensive i9-10900KF processor) I wanted to invest in liquid cooling to help my system last longer in the long run. A very good choice to go with.I trust Corsair products highly after using them for years (never really had any issues with them). This just made it better!Once I got the idea of how to install it (since this was my first time with a cooler like this) it was so easy! Way easier than heatsinks. I will definitely go with this type of cooling from now on in future builds.It really helps my CPU stay at cool temperatures even when playing intensive games or running many programs at once.I also love the RGB colours and that you can adjust/change them all with the iCue app from Corsair. You can also manually change the fan speed on each fan (from Quiet, Balanced, Extreme or Zero RPM/Off)If you're a beginner, please ensure you still use a good quality thermal paste with liquid cooling!(My apologies for bad cable management in the picture I have provided!)

What can i say recently upgraded to ryzen 7 3700x with a aorus b550m motherboard and 16gb ddr 4 ram at 3600mhz. This cooler is amazing can idel around 32.c and games between 50-60.cIgnore reviews about amd issues i had zero issues installing for my ryzen and amd motherboard. If you know what to do its easy. Best performance and its a good price.My only downside was im paying £120 for this aio and the long screws that attach the radioator and fans together were not even the right ones. They were far to long and was so much gap that the radiator kept dropping. Instead i had to use the ones that came with the pc case and motherboard but all ok now. Amazing performance and just looks clean as hell. Also fan noise is actually really quiet if you have fans on balanced and pump on quiet. Can barly hear the pc at all. So again ignore noise complaints they are either having fan setting to high or an issue with their fans. No issues when done properly.

Firstly, I'd like to point out that you should first learn how to install a cooler before you buy this. A trial run if you will, many people are complaining about the installation but it's easy if you just follow the instructions. I got one for me and one for my boyfriend so I've put them on both AMD and Intel PCs, both were very easy installs. As for the cooling, it's excellent. Big improvement from what I've seen on my traditional fan cooler. It has a quiet mode too for when you'd like to work quietly at night, which still works well. The fan's zero RPM mode are also good for noise. But even the standard 'balanced' mode is not very noisy.

Most of the install is actually incredibly easy, like attaching the fans to the rad and top of my case. One thing I will mention is the old instructions you receive in the box are not relevant to the AM4 mounting system you end up using. You will have to go on YouTube to work out how to attach the 2 screw thumb system. I would have much preferred a 4 screw system which would have been much easier to mount the pump. Also once you take the plastic protection cover from the pump that has the thermal paste on you will not get it back on so as you're installing there is a chance that it will hit your case and rub small amounts of the paste off. In my case it was really small amount so should not effect the thermals. Another thing is, the bulky cable that attaches the pump to the commander pro needs to be pushed in with heavy pressure to the point you feel you may break it but eventually got it in, getting it out may be a different story. Also there was a slight issue with the 2nd commander not being visible in ICUE4, however the lights and fans worked I just could not control them. Eventually the lightning node did show up so I can control the lighting but not the RPM of the case fans. I cannot take marks off the AIO for this, as it's a separate ICUE issueAnyway, onto the good stuff. This pump is really, really quiet, I have upgraded from a 3700X using a stock wraith prism cooler, which was loud but did the job. It's one of the reasons I went for the 360mm version. The thermals are impressive. Idles at around 35oc and on cinebench it showed an average of 67oc for an all core test. I'm using a 5900X so am very impressed with these thermals and leaves room for an overclock. Although for now I am just going to use the PBO feature. The lighting on the pump looks great with the pre-applied cover and links up to all my third party lighting (wallpaper engine). I'll upload some pics soon but it really does look stunning compared to my old setup. Highly recommend!! Especially if you have a toasty chip and you don't want a bulky air cooled solution.
