HOW TO Install Corsair H150i Elite LCD on AMD and Intel

[@UnresolvedExternal]

Words can't express how much more helpful I found this video than 99% of the ones out there which show it sped-up 500x and are 3 minutes long.

[@GearSeekers]

Glad it could help you :)

[@t_pagz]

When I first got into building, you have no idea how many times I referenced your videos for specific cooler mounting. It made something that seemed so daunting, pretty easy to follow. You’re truly helping more than you know with these how to vids. Good stuff as always!

[@augustvonhelson3193]

Yeah, this cooler has so many cables, you are the only person who showed how to install it in an easy-to-understand way. Installing the radiator, fans, and block is easy but all those cables were daunting to say the least. Thank you sir, you helped me when everyone else just wanted to show their beautifully built system.

[@deformiertergolfball4847]

to be fair, i think all things which come with rgb are kinda daunting. 3 years ago i builded my first pc with an aio cooler, for some reason my mb only has had one rgb header and it had to much volt, so my rgb on the aio just died on first start up. since that i wont touch them without an tutorial anymore. i can build a pc from scratch without any issues but when it comes to rgb im out.

[@JohnCarlyle]

Easily one of the best guides I've watched for AIO coolers. Extremely thorough step-by-step explanations, thank you.

[@PizzlesTechTime]

For some reason I search for an installation video and KZbin is pumping out smaller content creators. I do like that but in this particular instance I'm grateful for your insight and appreciate your work

[@chazzey7]

One of the best, clearest and concise explanations I have seen. This really helped me through the installation process. Many thanks.

[@xxan84]

I've watched a few videos on how to instal this stuff (I got the bigger one H170i ) and I have to say this is by far the more easy one to follow.

[@tal.707]

The amount of poorly detailed videos that I have watched only to come across your video and for you to have it explained step by step in detail on how hook everything up from start to finish. Words cannot express my gratitude. Thank you.

[@TypeScriptTV]

Your fantastic video helped me to setup my Corsair H150i RGB Elite at home. My device doesn't have a control box (because RGB controlling is already integrated) but I could get it up & running in a similar manner: Connecting it to CPUFAN & USB 2.0 Jumper on my motherboard, connecting the 3 Corsair fans and adding a SATA power connection from my power supply. I would also recommend to remove the plastic from the screen (11:30) a little later because it is very prone to scratches. In general, thank you for this great tutorial! It would have taken me a lot more time without it. 👍 Best from Berlin, Benny

[@marv360]

where did you connect the sata power connector on the motherboard?

[@Pixelplayz2215]

Man. I just got myself a H170i Elite. Assuming it installs the same way. This is so much better then the official CORSAIR LABS tutorial for their 2 fan version of the H150i Elite. Your tutorial goes super in depth and I will definitely be leaving a sub!!

[@homemadetunesbu3134]

This helped me a lot. I watched it so many times lol. I had a weird issue with the Sata power from my power supply. It took me so long to figure it out but this guide along with common sense is all anyone should need. Thanks a ton my system looks lit!

[@rarityd]

Thank you - I’ve accustomed to your voice from all my builts

[@ttattx]

My favorite aspect of this video is the deliberate demonstration of wiring. The only thing missing for me was the sata connection. To point out where from psu it comes from.

[@jwaye89]

One again, one hell of an excellent guide. Very informative and easy to follow

[@danielsan9850]

Been thinking about getting the iCUE H100i XT Elite. Your video has been the most detailed and informative. Thank you so much! You just earned a subscriber!

[@iksidnieiksta9762]

I have never done something like this and even i could follow it. The best guide on yt by far

[@damn.690]

God I love you, I nearly shit myself thinking my cooler wasn’t going to fit

[@leebannister3759]

I Was so nervous working with this AIO because of all the wires and its been a while (10 years) since I build my last computer (laptops since then) with lg67 itx motherboard with the CPU's included cooling fan. And then I discovered that some people are using a retro kit for lga1700, but his video helped to show that all the hardware is included in this case.

[@osamahabdullah7893]

my first build was on 2018 and your videos what i was counted on back then to build my pc and now i am upgrading and i come to your channel to watch your videos again your videos is really helpful big appreciation and love

[@JohnSmith-co4ke]

What an amazing video I usually don’t comment on KZbin videos but I really wanted to express my gratitude. I didn’t even get through the entire video I just know this will answer all my question

[@unsuitablemoo6185]

This gained you another subscriber. I’m new to PC building and such and this helped me change the AIO to the new corsair in my prebuilt. The only thing i can say is that these angles made it exceptionally simple and straight forward to install and correctly wire up. Thank you so much.

[@kodguerrero]

THANK YOUUU. I'm building my first computer in like 10 years and I can't find the H150i LCD in my country, and I was looking everywhere to see if the H150i LCD has the screen fixed vs the upgrade kit for the basic Capellix edition which is magnetic. I had looked at 20 videos. But when you said "We recomment taking off the screen" I yelled FINALLY very loudly haha. Now I can get the white H150i Capellix and wait for the white screen upgrade kit. THANK YOU again

[@theprospectingcollector]

Perfect - the sliding bracket things are what i needed to know. Thanks for the post.

[@VonBek2009]

Dude….this video saved my sanity…I can’t thank you enough, this is a must see video for anyone thinking of installing this kit as the instructions are non existent! Thank you again 😀😀😀😀👍👍👍👍

Building my first PC in over 20 years and using this AIO cooler. Super super helpful video, cheers!!!

[@moonpig660]

just getting into RGB computer parts and with the control box, can you plug other fans into it too instead of them being plugged in elsewhere so they are all controlled by the same thing?

[@Dan-hz6qj]

Thanks for this video. The one put out by Corsair was basically how to do a speedrun install, and left the AMD instructions to the imagination.

[@kpv123]

This is Michael. Excellent video. You set it up well and very clearly defined everything people need to know. Probably the best on the net.

[@TonyTheCaptain90]

If someone reads this, godbless! each start of my pc i have to remove commander core from bluetooth and other devices, rescan device manager, restart iCue - then it sees all my fans and my h170i. any work around? im kinda tired...

[@stryke3725]

there's a known issue with many users where the cooler LCD display shows a red triangle error. the issue has to do with the use of the usb splitter possibly drawing too much power from a single usb header. most users have opt to bypass the splitter & plug each usb separately onto the mobo. how did you managed to get your AIO to work correctly using the splitter.

[@kozmikhero6749]

I'm trying to figure out this error rn. Even with both plugged in separately it remains :/

[@2wheelsandchill]

My LCD screen isn't detected by iCUE. Tried ditching the USB splitter to no avail. My pc detects it in devices, but not in iCUE. Also downloading iCue causes the pump to stop running. Uninstalled iCue, the pump functions normally, lcd changes from red triangle to "coolant temp 0*C"

[@jmshtx]

any fix so far?

[@UBEZERK]

@JMS823 only fix is probably a return. I have the same thing going on corsair is dogsht

[@2wheelsandchill]

Update: bought a second one and it works flawlessly! I waited too long to try and return the first one, so I just replaced my 3 Cyberpower case fans with the 3 Corsair fans from the radiator. Everything works now and I have 6 matching fans! 🙌

[@Deep_Freeze]

Thanks!

[@GearSeekers]

No problem!

[@noahsarcade538]

It should be noted that the CPU fan header does not work for this AIO on most motherboards. You will need to plug it into the SYS FAN PUMP header and will likely need an extension cable due to the cooler’s super short included cable.

[@clgibson8652]

Best "How To" I've seen in a while.

[@gengpan]

I am using same AIO for 7800x3d. is it normal the coolant is only 33degree while idle CPU is 63? it is ~30 degree difference. After R23 pressure test, coolant temp stable at 35 degree while CPU stable at 83 degree. four screws was screwed up until i feel resistant, but gently by a driver.

[@carlosm621]

@@gengpan yes that was my same concern. now it idles around 60-63 but it doesn’t pass 74 when gaming. Have you found a solution?

@@carlosm621 i did a search. looks like this is what coolant temperature should be……

It's supposed to be like that. When you mount the cooler, it will pull snug. Think of it as spring-loaded.

Just perfect. Thanks

[@MrZX1409]

I just installed the H150i Elite and I'm doing a push/pull setup on it. When I powered on the computer the RGB lights did not come on but the fans worked. I had no problem with setting up my commander core xt to run my other 4 x 140AF RGB lights. I do not have my OS installed on the computer yet.

[@davidspisar3906]

Hell of a detailed guide, thank you very much!

[@marcosguedes8885]

Tip: Connect the pump USB cable DIRECTLY to the Motherboard. I bought this AIO last week and I connected both the pump and controller USB cables with the Y cable. After some minutes the LCD screen froze and the hardware disappeared from iCUE. After looking for info in Reddit, I found this solution, to connect the controller to the Y cable and the pump directly to the motherboard and voilá, the screen works perfectly now.

[@MiguelGaming117]

Can u make a guide to it? I already did but nothing happens

[@marcosguedes8885]

@@MiguelGaming117 I just followed this comment from Reddit: I had the very same problem with my setup. After setting everything up I would open iCue and the LCD would show up on the iCue software and I can adjust all the settings and use it but it would freeze and then crash and would disappear from the iCue software and the only way to fix it would be to restart the computer completely. Just for it to crash again after a minuet of opening iCue. What helped me over come this was not using the splitter for the USB header cause from what I gathered if you use the splitter and it has to share power from another source using the same header it will cause the LCD screen to crash. So I plugged the LCD screen directly to the USB header on the motherboard so it had it's own header and the problem went away and never crashed. I ended up using the splitter for the Commander Core and another unit that also used the header. Don't use any splitter with the LCD plug, plug it in directly to it's own header on the motherboard. Hopefully that will work like it did for me. www.reddit.com/r/Corsair/comments/r85kvo/elite_lcd_upgrade_kit_keeps_freezing_itll_be_fine/

Can I connect Corsair ML140 140mm PWM into this commander core controller? Or any other pwm fan?

[@praetorxyn]

Will be doing major surgery on the desktop tomorrow, replacing my NH-D15 with this cooler (largely because the NH-D15 is just in my way - it's way too big compared to a pump / top), replacing the 5700 XT with a 3080, and replacing a few Noctua chromax fans with the same fans that come with this cooler. I've avoided Corsair for ages as I don't like proprietary solutions, but the EK Nucleus I pre-ordered in September still hasn't shipped and I'm tired of waiting. With the screen, everyone says iCUE is by far the best software among all the "mainstream" ones (I've heard it's got nothing on AquaComputer's Aquasuite, but I can't be arsed to build a custom loop either), so I figured I'd give it a shot. Wish me luck.
