Corsair iCUE H150i ELITE CAPELLIX Liquid CPU Cooler (33 Ultra-Bright CAPELLIX RGB LEDs, Three 120mm ML RGB Series PWM Fans, 400 to 2,400 RPM, Zero RPM Mode, Corsair iCUE Commander CORE Included) Black

Product Information

Corsair has swayed us from thinking its coolers were not up to snuff with the release of the iCUE H150i Elite Capellix! Our tachometer indicated that the fans were rotating at an average speed of 2370 RPM, very close to their rated specifications. If I define my own custom curve at a fan speed I deem acceptable for light PC use (< 1000 rpm) then the coolant temps seem to equilibrate around 42 C. You really cannot go wrong with an Asetek 360mm all-in-one cooler, and the Corsair H150i Elite Capellix is a great solution for keeping your Intel or AMD processor cool under even the most intensive loads.

When you add powerful, low-noise cooling to the mix, your system will look great and will run even better.A consistent contact patch is easily achieved when evenly tensioning the mounting screws in a typical x-pattern, which is recommended for nearly every CPU cooler install, liquid and alike.

All things considered, the Corsair iCUE H150i ELITE CAPELLIX is a fantastic, beautiful cooler that would do well in any case that can show it off!

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.

The interchangeable face plates are easily swapped using the included hex key and four set screws, with each top providing a different pattern for RBG lighting to shine through. The Corsair H150i Elite Capellix seems to be getting the best thermal performance out of every similarly sized AIO cooler that we have tested to this date, outperforming NZXT’s X73 by a whisker. I originally had the radiator set to exhaust with bottom/sides intake, but tried reversing it in hopes of remedying the issue. It's easy to kit out an entire PC build with Corsair hardware since the company makes almost everything. Equipped with a thermally optimized copper cold plate and pre-applied thermal compound, the low-noise pump design delivers high-performance, quiet cooling.He's been involved in technology for more than a decade and knows a thing or two about the magic inside a PC chassis. The Elite Capellix comes with three ML RGB series blowers, while the more expensive Elite LCD has ML ELITE fans. What we see is that there is an 8-pin connector to control the thirty-three Capellix RGB LEDs, and we can also see that the long screws used to hold the top cover licks into the base of the head unit to create a solid and secure one-piece feel. The performance seems to be fairly stable across most of the load range, offering predictable performance regarding of the load, with the exception of very low loads where the temperature difference is far too small for appropriate heat transfer between the mediums. To keep the cooler in as good of shape as ours arrived in, there is a compartmentalized cardboard inner packaging.
