About this deal
First, connect the 3-pin pump tach cable to the motherboard CPU_FAN header, then connect the large multi-pin connector from the CPU block to the Corsair Commander Core RGB controller as shown. The CORSAIR iCUE H115i ELITE CAPELLIX XT Liquid CPU Cooler offers robust and high-performance cooling for your processor. However, if you are in the market for an AIO cooler, maybe your old one died, or you are building a brand new system, then I would definitely consider the iCUE Elite Capellix series, especially if you have already invested in the Corsair RGB ecosystem. The iCUE profiles for the pump have been raised by approximately 200 RPM across the board, maximum pump speed remains the same as previous models at around 2700 RPM, while fan profiles have also been tuned to offer maximum performance.
Thankfully, turning off the lighting doesn't hurt the unit's appeal either, so those wanting no lighting or only a little will find the H115i RGB ELITE a fantastic fit. This is really impressive, as a full load at this highest preset was generating less noise than any other high performance option in the group.For reliably high cooling performance, every step in the heat transfer and dissipation chain matters. Cool the latest CPUs from Intel or AMD, complete with a 280mm radiator, 2x 140mm fans, copper cold plate, and an efficient pump head lined with stunning CAPELLIX LEDs.

In terms of performance, we are not expecting any major leaps forward with the Elite Capellix series as it is based on the same CoolIT pump/radiator combination as seen in previous Corsair coolers (RGB platinum and RGB Pro XT) so this new generation is focusing on the new RGB technology as its selling point. Ultra-bright CAPELLIX LEDs on the pump head and eight RGB LEDs per fan let you completely personalize your cooler’s look.
