Corsair iCUE H115i ELITE CAPELLIX Liquid CPU Cooler (33 Ultra-Bright CAPELLIX RGB LEDs, Two 140 mm ML RGB Series PWM Fans, 400 to 2,000 RPM, Zero RPM Mode, Corsair iCUE Commander CORE Included) Black

Product Information

With this reduction in fan speed and noise, we would expect thermal performance to be negatively affected, it wasn’t, in fact, the H115i Elite Capellix is the best Corsair AIO when it comes to thermal performance that we have tested, even though Corsair claims that there hasn’t been any changes to the pump, CPU block or radiators since the previous generation. Now select the relevant Intel LGA 115x/1200 standoffs and working from the top side of the motherboard, screw the standoffs to the backplate.

load test one final time with the noise output of the CPU cooler set at 40dBA, which is measured using a sound meter placed 1 meter from the test bench.Of course you can also endlessly tinker with custom settings, but for the purposes of this review I chose a lighting preset and then tested both “balanced” and “extreme” performance levels. Nothing has changed between the previous RGB Pro XT and the Elite Capellix in terms specification of the ML140 fans, still the same high static pressure design and speed range of 400-2000RPM.

Maximum noise levels will be measured with our sound meter at a distance of 1 meter from the test bench. Easy Installation on CORSAIR ELITE CAPELLIX: Compatible with any CORSAIR iCUE ELITE CAPELLIX Liquid CPU Cooler, utilizing four mounting magnets for quick and easy installation. 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. At the same time, while I may not be a fan of iCUE as it simply reinvents the wheel of motherboard software for ARGB control along with PWM fan profiles etc. With the motherboard and cooler installed on our test bench, we can move on to connecting up all the cables.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. As touched on previously, the mounting hardware is great, but on top of that, the fit and finish of the overall product are very good as well. The temperatures presented in the graphs will be average Delta temperatures measured over the length of the test.
