Review on 💦 Corsair H115i RGB Platinum Liquid CPU Cooler - 280mm, Dual ML140 RGB PWM Fans, Intel 115x/2066, AMD AM4/TR4 by Carla Johnson

upgraded from h100i to this one and very disappointed! The pump works at three speeds; Quiet at 2000 rpm, balanced at 2500 rpm and powerful at 3000 rpm. My computer is hanging on my desk behind a monitor and this pump is annoyingly loud! I was able to adjust the pump curve on my old H100i to increase with CPU temperature, but it was only during web browsing and normal use that this pump ran inaudibly at 1800rpm. This pump cannot be configured in the same way ! You can set your own curve for the fans (which are also too loud), but you only get three pump speed settings. If my computer was under a table or a bit further away, a quiet environment would be fine for sure, except it doesn't cool my 9900k! 5.0GHz on all cores at 1.30V generates enough heat that the pump speed needs to be increased for this cooler not to fall behind, but balanced still allows temperatures to rise and only performance settings are maintained under load. After all, the Performance setting is quieter than the Balance setting.
