Review on ๐Ÿ’ฆ Corsair H100i Elite Capellix Liquid CPU Cooler with iCUE Technology by James Wonsley

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Proprietary RGB connector that doesn't match the mobo header

Not tested yet as I'm still waiting for the mobo. Everything looks great, it's very well built and I expect it to perform the same, I've owned many Corsair products and have never been disappointed. until now. This is the first RGB product I've bought from Corsair and the only one in this build. Here's the problem, all my other RGB fans use my phone's 3 pin connector, Corsair has its own 4 pin connector and no adapters are included. If icue isn't controlling the argb connected to the motherboard headers, that's a problem. Nowhere is it clearly said that this isn't a standard connection and this forces me to use their software, buy adapters or any Corsair fans to get my RGB working together. If I could connect my other fans to the icue it wouldn't be a problem and I can with adapters but then my already expensive cooler got even more expensive. I feel like Corsair is trying to get me into their Icue ecosystem to have all my RGBs working together. Not cool

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Boring packaging
