Review on πŸ’¦ Corsair iCUE H115i RGB Pro XT 280mm Radiator Liquid CPU Cooler with Dual 140mm PWM Fans and Software Control by Scoony Taker

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Radially threaded holes for easy installation

Corsair finally got the message from MANY previous reviewers and started tapping (cutting holes) the heatsink so you can just screw on the fans instead of bolting on the fans . Therefore, installation was easy; Make sure the pump mounts are properly seated in the pump groove. DO NOT overtighten the CPU thumbscrews - gently, not force, apply a little on each side of the pump. If the thermal paste of the CPU/pump block is aging, you can turn the thumbscrews a little more. No ARGB on the H115i XT Pro 280mm 2 x 140mm fan model, except for the pump, but the fans are pretty quiet, as is the pump. The finger on the hose confirmed that the pump was working - it wasn't audible. Cools my Ryzen 3900X under load. Expensive but better than stock and the hole problem is fixed - maybe Corsair will take a look at the reviews! Downloading the iCue software is sufficient.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
