Powerful CORSAIR iCUE Software: Adjust fan and pump speeds, control and synchronize your cooler's RGB lighting with all iCUE-compatible devices, and monitor CPU and coolant temperatures, all from a single intuitive interface. Reliably Radiant: The high-quality LCD display stays bright throughout its lifespan, without suffering from the screen burn-in or luminosity degradation experienced with many OLEDs or lower-grade displays. To begin installation on an Intel LGA 115x or 1200 platform, working from the rear of the motherboard, align the Intel specific backplate with the hole on the motherboard and place it in position. Ultra-bright CAPELLIX LEDs on the pump head and eight RGB LEDs per fan let you completely personalize your cooler’s look.

is about average for a 280 mm liquid cooler with RGB lighting, I can find no fault with this cooler. The H115i ELITE CAPELLIX XT is easy to install thanks to the extended 400mm tubing length, premium pre-applied CORSAIR XTM70 thermal paste, and modular tool-free bracket mounts.

The temperatures presented in the graphs will be average Delta temperatures measured over the length of the test.

Mounting the cooler on our test bench is a little different to mounting inside a case so we can fit the fans to the radiator now using the long black screws and washers provided. CORSAIR AF RGB ELITE PWM fans produce incredible low-noise airflow with speeds up to 1,700 RPM, using AirGuide technology for concentrated cooling to disperse heat along a 280mm radiator.

Corsair's design shows their intention to make the process as easy as possible, and I commend them for that. This slight reduction in noise is very welcomed as previous Corsair coolers such as the RGB Pro XT, RGB platinum and the A500 air cooler that I reviewed in the past became quite distracting and somewhat annoying when the fans were ramped up to their maximum RPM. min while generating less than 20dB of noise, and a 65mm split-flow copper cold plate lined with 128 micro-skived fins per inch. With a total of twelve four-pin fan and RGB headers, the included kit makes it easy to attach up to half-a-dozen RGB fans with synchronised lighting across the board. Since the coolers base plate comes with a pre-applied thermal compound coating, there is no need to apply additional thermal compound to the CPU heat spreader.Meanwhile, a tasteful bit of lighting can be a nice touch, without making my rig look like it's full of unicorn vomit. Whether you are gaming, streaming, or overclocking, you can expect stable and reliable CPU temperatures with the iCUE H115i ELITE CAPELLIX XT.

The CORSAIR iCUE H115i ELITE CAPELLIX Liquid CPU Cooler delivers powerful, low-noise cooling for your CPU, with a 280mm radiator, two CORSAIR ML140 RGB PWM fans, and an ultra-bright CAPELLIX RGB pump head. I can see the benefit of this for those who have invested in the Corsair ecosystem, but for someone who has not, all the extra wiring and time needed to connect up the cooler seems unnecessary and makes the system look less tidy with all those cables coming from the CPU block.RGB lighting isn't necessarily our thing, though we will admit it can look pretty in the right scenario, and Corsair makes implementation that bit easier by including a SATA-powered iCue Commander Core lighting and fan-speed controller in the bundle.

Easy to install and widely compatible with Intel® and AMD® motherboard sockets including LGA 1700, 1200, 115X, and 2066, plus AMD Socket AM5 and AM4, the H115i ELITE CAPELLIX XT puts CPU cooling in a whole new light. Tightening the standoffs by hand will provide the required amount of torque, no tools are needed for this part of the installation. There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data. The usage of 1 wiring harness does make cable management a literal breeze, and being able to keep an eye on coolant temperature is a nice touch as well. Harness the power of iCUE with the included iCUE Commander CORE to control the fan speed and RGB lighting for the included ML RGB fans, with the potential to control additional CORSAIR RGB fans, up to a total of six.Connect to the included CORSAIR iCUE Commander CORE and powerful CORSAIR iCUE software to orchestrate synchronized RGB lighting, adjust fan speeds, and enable Zero RPM mode on up to six fans. Dynamic in performance and yet low on noise, with a 240mm radiator and two CORSAIR ML120 RGB Magnetic Levitation PWM fans controllable at speeds between 400 RPM and 2,400 RPM. Now select the relevant Intel LGA 115x/1200 standoffs and working from the top side of the motherboard, screw the standoffs to the backplate. Corsair has outfitted this AIO series with its Capellix LED technology with 33 of the ultra-bright and tiny new LEDs packed into a module on top of the CPU block.
