Hmmm this was my first AIO and I found installing the AM4 bracket more confusing then installing the fans and the cooler itself lol. But I love this cooler, much cooler than my DeepCool heatsink.

[@TheChaseBoysDad]

I’ve heard before from numerous tubers that installing the radiator at front for cool air intake with the input/output tubes mounted at the top is where the coil whine from the pump comes from. If the tubes are located at the bottom of the rad (which I might add) is sometimes hard to do if not impossible in some pc cases that the coil whine in the pump goes away after a few hours/days of running. It has to do with the air naturally in the closed loop system that can find its way through the pump head made possible by having the tubes up top of the rad. Which also can shorten the life of the pump. Say the pump lasts 5 years or so, if the tubes are at the top grabbing air it could shorten life to say 4 years. Top mount (which is where I mounted mine) is supposed to be ok. And tubes at bottom of front mount setup is ok. Tubes at top front mounted is STILL ok but possible whine and possible life shortening. Sorry that was a mouthful 🍻

[@Retset]

I have the H15i Platinium. The pump whine is unacceptable on Balanced/Extreme but OK (still just audible) on Quiet. I understand it's the CoolIt pump vs Asetek used on older models. It's been pain to mix and match with another 2xML140 fan pack, although I managed it. It's gone wrong with the pump housing losing RGB/pump speed control from iCue so is stuck on the hardware settings. If I plug in elsewhere and force a firmware re-flash, it's good for a couple of days. Thinking of getting it swapped for a new one, selling the new one and buying one of these new H150i's. At least I could more easily control the RGB stuff ... If I didn't already have Corsair RGB keyboard, mouse and RAM, I'd think about dumping Corsair altogether TBH as this is my second H115i - first had unacceptable pump noise.

[@AnarexicSumo]

If you can hear it whining that means there's air in the pump. Either it's defective or installed incorrectly with the pump at a high point.

[@Retset]

@@AnarexicSumo ​ @AnarexicSumo It was installed correctly but I could hear the pump. Not at all loud but, unlike fan noise, it was at a frequency which I found really annoying. However, on Quiet, I could barely hear it so was very happy with the H115i Plat. However, when the LED part went faulty (the lights went all yellowy), I returned it and bought the new Cappelix version. The RGB was great but there was no option to turn down the pump. I suffered one day of that 'mosquito' like pump noise drilling into my skull (not loud, just annoying) and asked if I could RMA due unacceptable pump noise. They said yes and I refitted my Noctua DH15 Black. It looks decent in the case, albeit not as nice as a lit up CPU block. It works perfectly and is not annoying. I love the idea of an AIO but am obviously one of those people who is susceptible to the noise of a pump spinning, even though it is a quiet noise. Perhaps if I invested in a loop with a D5, I'd be OK but I only run a gently overclocked 10600K so the Noctua is more than up to it.

[@ofekk213]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZbSZHuHo7llrKM skip to 1:05 or if you are lazy: all of the serieses below are Hydro series, the H stands for hydro (for example: H150i/H115i/H100i) pro RGB: asetek (gen6) pump, non-RGB ML fans. available in 240/280/360. released in 2018 Q1, highly outdated, don't buy. Platinum RGB: CoolIT pump, RGB ML fans with basic 4 LED RGB. available in 240/280. released in 2018 Q4, kinda outdated, won't recommend anymore. Platinum RGB SE: completely identical to the Platinum RGB but its white and only available in 240. your only choice if you NEED a white cooler, performs well. iCUE RGB Pro XT: identical to the pro RGB but with CoolIT pump, more RGB on the pump, better performance and better ML fans (not RGB fans tho). released in 2020 Q1, still relevant. iCUE Elite Capellix: CoolIT pump, RGB ML fans with 8 LED RGB (MUCH better than 4, belive me). available in 240/280/360. released in 2020 Q3, corsair latest high end liquid coolers. all of the above support the iCUE software, despite only the XT and elite having iCUE in their names (all of them need to be connected to a corsair fan controller to be supported by iCUE software tho) none of the above come with a controller with the exception of the elite, it comes with the all-new commander core. overall, I finally can buy a corsair liquid cooler without compromising on RGB real estate.

@@Robertotvl ARCTIC makes a Liquid Freezer II AIO that is VERY highly-rated. Corsair gets people with the iCUE controller and iCUE software suite - but if you check out ARCTIC (also make Thermal Paste mx-5 which they include with their unit) - you will see the ARCTIC at the top of the charts in performance, even a 240mm vs the Corsair 360mm! Best of all, Arctic has now released 360mm and 420mm (just released the 420). FYI. Gamer's Nexus loves the Arctic - sadly my System Integrator does not (currently) offer ARCTIC. So unless I want to build it myself, I'm stuck with Corsair. Love their Airflow Cases though! DEFINITELY RECOMMEND AIRFLOW model over the smoked glass panels.

I'm hoping to get this for Christmas the only thing I'm worried about is the fan mounting

[@ComradeChyrk]

My only complaint comes from the issue I had mounting it on an am4 motherboard. it doesn't come with a back bracket for am4 systems and just tells you to use the stock one that came with the motherboard. Ofcourse I didn't have the og one and the one I had didn't allow the standups to come out enough. I actually ended up having to use the standups that it came with for the Intel installation which then made me incredibly nervous since I couldn't see if it was making good contact to the cpu. Luckily it was and it works, but corsair really should include a spare backing for am4 as well. That would have saved me sssooo much time.

[@normm944]

I just built a new rig with an i5 13600k and the Coolermaster Hyper 212 Black Edition wasn't doing enough. I have a great Corsair case, lots of cooling fans, and 15 seconds in to Cinebench R23 and the CPU is 100C and throttling and that was at stock speeds.. Added a second fan to the cooler for a push-pull setup, didn't help. Got the 320mm AIO in your video and now it sits at 77C in Cinebench and that's with me overclocking it to 5.4Ghz... Massive difference... Was playing Doom Eternal at 4k today with all settings maxed out, and the CPU hovered at 34C and the RX 9700 XT was at 67C.... Never tried liquid cooling before, but this CPU runs hot and didn't want a massive tower cooler in there...

These AIO are never refilled to the end , unfortunately so air will make noise. Would like to ask you the Controller that comes with the kit, you say can connect up to 6 fans, including the AIO fans??On your case you have 7 fans, plus the pump , so you have 2 fans connected to the mother board, for the RGB?

Been trying to figure this out myself. Can't seem to find a clear answer 😕

[@royalrepublican3480]

mine broke, 7 LEDS doesnt work and the fans stop working randomly so i have to reinstall the cables and restart my pc

[@Spiriluli]

5 years warranty, get a replacement

[@jessiem437]

What if you have 7 Corsair RGB fans? 3 on the front, one on the back and 3 on the radiator on top, the box only have 6 spots, will you not be able to control one of the fans??

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

You can use fan splitters or plug into the motherboard instead.

[@engjds]

Why dont they make RGB sync with audio? its a bit boring to just colour cycle.

[@jorman3819]

i just got one of these and it’s flashing red and the cpu temps are very high. is there a way to fix this?

[@LeonsGyatt]

So is 6 extra fans or is like the 2 of the water cooler plus another 4?

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

3 on the AIO (included) and 3 extra for the case.

[@hellinusholy]

@@TheProvokedPrawn what if you wanted 9 case fans? Can you link up another controller?

[@Nick-Stumpf]

Anyone having issues with pump LEDs not working? Everything else works and it even shows up as if it were working properly in iCUE but the LEDs themselves don’t turn on. I messed with some settings and it randomly started working ONCE and then stopped again randomly. No idea what’s causing this. If anyone has experienced this please share, very annoying issue thanks!

[@JpdCookie]

I connected the 3 pin from the pump into the cpu fan header 1, in the most left 3 pins. is this correct?

[@welshman2011]

At 9:30 what software are you using to monitor the GPU etc?

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Corsair iCue

[@DaAzn]

Hmm that’s weird that your fans have only 4 leds because I got the same on with I think about 8-12 leds

[@BlackenedSalvation]

Question, say I have 7 of these fans (3 ML, 4 LL.). I have the Commander Core include with the cooler, with a maximum of 6 fan headers. If I were to plug in that last extra single fan directly into my motherboard, would everything still work without a hitch? ICUE would have no problem detecting the extra fan?

[@kevinsica4611]

If you connect either the power or rgb directly to the mobo I don’t think icue will detect it. You need a commander/lighting node to be able to control them. Otherwise you can connect it to mobo and control it by bios but it will be not show and be part of icue system.

[@stephenohanlon1671]

So basically this is just the same as before but with different lights and a commander pro included? I’m yet to buy any aio so it seems like this will be the one to get, given it’s about the same price as the rgb pro.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Commander Core. Quite different to the pro

[@stephenohanlon1671]

@@TheProvokedPrawn I'm new to all this so forgive my ignorance but if I'm buying a Corsair aio and was going to get the h100 RGB pro platinum and the commander pro, am I better off instead getting this elite cappellix?

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

@@stephenohanlon1671 I a video on the h100i before kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6fNlqqfjsuBqbM this one is a lot easier to setup. Especially with the Commander Core included and with the very nice (fast and decent) ML fans included.

[@ianlyne4417]

I have a question, is it okay to have the loop tubes in the radiator at the top side or the bottom side for front mount radiator? I cant mount my radiator at the top of the case because of the ram. Friend told me it's bad because air will find it's way to the top and the inloop and outloop could break. I need confirmation please.

Argb

I'm able to switch this fans out with the magnet ones right?

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Which?

[@DaveBudness]

​@@TheProvokedPrawn So, if the fans that come with this I don't like, I can always slap on QL120 RGB 120mm instead? Or, I have no choice to go with the fans that come with the radiator?

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

@@DaveBudness yes. You can use QL120s no problems

[@dendera1337]

Would it be possible to attach non-corsair fans to the controller station and let Corsair run them (not after any fancy light setting)

🤷‍♂️

Nope, only corsair fans because weird 6pin connector

[@IGCuber]

I am buying up parts for my first pc build. I have this cooler. My question is, fan order in icue controller. 1-6. The 1st fan is the front bottom (intake) and 6th fan in rear (exhaust) Correct?? Thank you. I want my fans to look like yours :) Also, I bought the icue 4000X RGB case, this cooler. The rear fan, I got on amaz, the SP120 RGB. It has 8 LEDs.

[@bazebll911]

That's correct. Fan one at the bottom front of the case and fan 6 being the exhaust

[@real_axl5707]

hey, you can change the order if u messed it up inside of iCue software.

[@simplesimon2kuk]

Do you know if Corsair will sell the controller separately as I’m planning a build in the lian li 09 club with 9 fans. Or would I have to get a commander pro as well

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

They don't know yet. I'd expect so though.

[@spqrpraetorian]

They sell for about 75 USD on Amazon from what I saw.

[@LFiers]

How did you go with this? I'd like to do that too. I have the Elite, and 3 x QL 120 fan's. I'd need a commander Pro if I wanted to add more fans right, since the node only can support up to 6, am I right? Thanks

it might sound weird but could you swap the ml fans to the ql120s

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

yes

[@masonlonsdale2320]

How do you know if it’ll mount to your pc case ? Is there a screw pattern or something I can find ?

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Most cases will say what size radiator they can take and where (e.g 360mm top, front or bottom) and they will all fit then as the screen holes are there already.

[@dustinmontanna]

I love this thing and once it was in I have lowest temps I’ve ever had but the Ryzen bracket was AWFUL to install. It kept popping off, it’s barely held on at all. Plus I don’t know why they made the Intel bracket 4 screws and the Ryzen one only 2. Still love it though and wouldn’t trade it for anything.

[@TheSjuris]

They finally upped the AMD bracket to 4 screws as well.

[@orestesdd]

Sorry for my ignorance, but do you install the fans on the radiator and then mount the radiator where it should go? Thanks for your video.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

That's the easiest way, yes

[@orestesdd]

@@TheProvokedPrawn I wonder if I should install the fans as Corsair recommends as "air-intake" or as I've seen youtubers installing the fans as air flowing from inside the case out or just "air-outtake". Thanks for your previous response.
