Corsair iCUE H115i RGB Pro XT, 280mm Radiator, Dual 140mm PWM Fans, Software Control, Liquid CPU Cooler

The CORSAIR H150i RGB Elite Liquid CPU Cooler has exceeded my expectations in every way. Its 360mm AIO design, coupled with the efficient AF120 Elite PWM fans, provides outstanding cooling performance, keeping my CPU temperatures impressively low even under heavy loads. The cooler's installation was straightforward, and it seamlessly fits into my Intel® LGA 1 socket. One of the standout features is the customizable RGB lighting, which adds a vibrant and visually striking element to my build. The lighting effects are easily controlled through CORSAIR's iCUE software, allowing for endless personalization. The cooler operates quietly, even when ramped up, ensuring that my system remains cool without the distraction of fan noise. Overall, the CORSAIR H150i RGB Elite is a top-tier liquid cooler that combines high performance, sleek aesthetics, and ease of use, making it an excellent choice for gamers and PC enthusiasts alike.

Bought this cooler after trying an EVGA CLC 360 and returning it due to the fans being insanely loud (although it performed well) even under idle. This Corsair cooler was a night and day difference when it came to noise, the mag-lev fans are whisper quiet and aren't too annoying even in their extreme profile setting. The pump is not noisy either, I can't hear it unless I open the side panel and stick my ear up close to the block...even then it's almost silent. Cooling performance is great with my OC i7-8700k, maybe a couple of degrees hotter than the EVGA cooler, but I would gladly take this performance with the noise levels over that other cooler. The CPU block looks good on both coolers, but once this one turns on and lights up it adds way more to the look of your PC than the EVGA one does, and the customizability of all of the LEDs on the block is way ahead of EVGA's setting to just change the static color of their logo.On to the software, I am not sure what the complaints about Corsair's iCUE software are for, because it's ran great and is much much nicer looking with a larger variety of settings than EVGA's frankly garbage Flow Control software. In addition to being able to set the radiator fans to a "Zero RPM" profile which ramps them down to 0 at idle, you can create custom fan curves that aren't limited to 25% minimums like EVGA's software limits you to.I did not have any installation problems or trouble installing the fans as pull intakes. I know some other reviewers were having issues with the threads not being drilled out on their radiator, but my fan screws went in perfectly fine and I was able to hand tighten them most of the way. This may be because of a manufacturing change that Corsair made at some point after the launch of these coolers, but safe to say I did not have any issue at all installing it, and the pivoting tubes on the CPU block made me feel more comfortable in the angle that the tubes were mounted when compared to the tubes coming straight out of the block on the EVGA cooler. Overall, a great buy and I do not have any doubts that it will continue performing as well as it has considering the quality and build of the product.

I had a 240 AIO that I tried to bring over to my 14700k, but the cooler couldn't keep up with the cpu and keep it cool, so I had to upgrade to a 360 radiator. It gets the job done, runs pretty quiet once you get the fans tuned right, however I often wonder if the fans included are the best cooling solution. It's been about a year (give or take a month or two) since I've owned this cooler at the time of this review and I've just been using iCue and the stock fans that came with it.

This is my second purchase of a Corsair AIO watercooler and I was not disappointed. Just as with my previous Corsair H60 purchase, the iCUE H100i Pro XT was easy to install, built very well with excellent fit-and-finish, and the cooling performance was and is excellent.I used the H100i Pro XT to cool two processors at separate times - an overclocked Core i7 2600K (2nd-gen) and a Core i7 9700 (9th-gen).When I used to run a system with the Core i7 2600K, I kept experiencing thermal throttling on a modest 4.0GHz overclock on the crappy stock Intel heatsink and fan (from 3.4GHz base/3.8GHz Turbo Boost). Once I installed the H100i Pro XT, my 4.0GHz overclock idled in the high-20's to low-30's (down from 72 C idle), and peaked around 50 C (down from 98 C). Even after I increased the 2600K's overclock to 4.5GHz (with an Offset voltage of +0.055V), I idled around the mid-30's and peaked at 61 C while gaming or running CPU stress tests.After switching over to a new motherboard and an Intel Core i7 9700, I experienced similarly low temperatures - idle in the mid-30's and peak at 57 C while playing Assassin's Creed Odyssey.Since I can't overclock the Core i7 9700, I'm instead running it at full all-core Turbo Speeds using Intel XTU and ThrottleStop. Even at an all-core core speed of 4.5GHz, both of my idle and peak temperatures are low, and I never hit the thermal throttle limit.Considering I live in very warm southern California in a house with poor ventilation, I'm even more impressed by the performance of the H100i Pro XT.The only hiccup I experienced was getting the RGB lighting to turn on. As it turns out, I had to connect the RGB SATA power cable to a 5-wire SATA power cable from my PSU. When I initially had it connected to a 4-wire SATA power cable from the PSU, the RGBs refused to light up, despite the iCUE software saying that my lights were activated.Besides that initial stumble, everything else has been peachy - cool RGB lighting control, adjustable fan speed and noise, and no concerning noises coming from the water pump. 5 stars all the way~!! 👍
