Corsair iCUE H100i RGB Pro XT: Superior Cooling with 240mm Radiator Review

Cooler at a good price and great for most CPUs. However, its round base covers 50% of the Epyc CPU, although support is claimed. It works, but if it doesn't cover the entire surface of the CPU heat spreader, it probably isn't as efficient as it could and should be. So while the mounts make it compatible, it can be tweaked. When used with some Epyc boards, like the Asrock I use, the pump's USB cable interferes with the DIMMs. I had to buy a shorter right angle USB connector and it's still within

Corsair makes good coolers, albeit expensive. I hope the high price translates into years of reliable service. For the price, it should have come with some high-end RGB fans, but I think Corsair would like another product that they can charge more for. It also cools my Ryzen 5 3600 and the Corsair software gives me full control over fan curves and pump lighting. Even with 100% utilization of all 12 threads, my CPU temp never exceeded 65C. For those concerned about temperature spikes, this is…

Corsair iCUE H150i RGB Pro XT 360mm Came in unsealed box Mfg. Missing instructions, steep mounting screws, a fan, fan mounting screws, pump mounting screws and clip, and who knows what else is missing as I have no instructions or parts list to share. Returns the timeline of my builds. Refund, I hope the replacement is complete? Update: Replacement delivered and new sealed box received. The installation was flawless and hassle-free, so I give it five stars. I've seen many reviews of the bolts…

I've used Corsair's AIO the longest, it's been on almost every computer I've built in the last 7 years. However, it was this cooler that I received once, and when it was installed in my new assembly, it was missing two racks for mounting Intel. All AMD brackets were present, but Intel brackets were missing two posts. Luckily I still had the mounting hardware from my H100i Pro and was able to get it working. It doesn't fit flush and I've noticed temperature fluctuations due to IHS and cooler not

I bought this as my first water-cooled PC solution. I used to only use air cooling so this was new territory for me. However, I'm glad I did as it turned out to be a very efficient and most importantly silent CPU cooling solution. Setting this up was a bit more complicated than I thought, but I was able to install it after some trial and error. One hit I say I don't think the instruction manual was always clear on certain occasions during the installation phase. One recommendation I would have…

Tl;Dr: This is a solid all-in-one. Some installation issues on AM4, but patience and perseverance did the trick. The cooling is at the level of high-quality air coolers, but runs very quietly. Long version: I use this to cool a moderately overclocked Ryzen 5 5600x. Obviously 360mm is a bit excessive for this processor, but why not? On a positive note, compared to my old Cooler Master Hyper 212+, my gaming temperature has dropped by about 2-3 degrees and the P95's temperature has dropped by…

I went through a SAGA trying to cool the 3950x CPU and the Corsair iCUE H150i RGB Pro XT is the only cooler which I think is worth it. If you want your computer to run at its base frequency/configuration and not overheat or freeze, this is the only option. Remarkably, this cooler is more affordable and cheaper than other coolers that are significantly inferior. Since your chip is square, you want to find a cooler with a square water block. This means that various coolers from NXZT and…

Bought this cooler after trying the EVGA CLC 360 and even returning it due to the insanely noisy fans (although it worked fine). idle. This Corsair cooler was the difference between day and night when it came to noise, the maglev fans were whisper-quiet and unobtrusive even at their extreme profile settings. The pump isn't loud either, I can't hear it unless I open the side panel and put my ear close to the device. even then almost silent. Cooling performance with my OC i7-8700k is excellent…
