Review on πŸ’¦ Corsair iCUE H100i RGB Pro XT Liquid CPU Cooler, 240mm Radiator by Steven Pankey

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Bad carving. wires!

All in all, this seems like a perfectly reasonable AIO. The looks are superb, it doesn't flow, the parts bend where necessary, the length of the hose suited me, the fittings are on top. The fans are very quiet and make a very high-quality impression. but many details are missing. Let's start with the worst: you should buy an 8-32 faucet for this radiator and a faucet handle if you don't have one. You'll find that many of the reviews say they had problems with the screws. The problem isn't the screws, it's the holes. I bought two of these to build two systems. 32 holes. Everything the same. They look like they were cut with a clogged/broken faucet and then filled with paint. The screws that come with it are very good and probably at the upper end of the tolerance range for an 8-32 screw. If you don't tap the holes to clean the threads, you will try to screw the hole with a screw. You'll probably break at least one. If you're buying this, be sure to add the faucet to your cart. Then you can finish them. Next are the wires. Okay, I'll clean up your product images. It is in order. But they have a picture of the side of the water block where the power and RPM wires come out; The wires are not shown and the hole is plugged. Also, each fan has a wire. You may or may not expect it, but if this is your first Rodeo AIO, be aware that things are nowhere near as neat as they look in the pictures. They don't do any fancy power wiring to make it look so pretty. They only tweaked the image to remove the spaghetti. The last is the pump. Loud - of course yes. But it's a weird PWM noise. No typical consistent buzzing or whistling. This is slightly confusing. If you have an otherwise unattended installation, this could be a problem. With the software you can customize it a bit. In "Extreme" mode, I actually find it less annoying because then it's at least just "on".
