How To Install The Corsair H100i Elite Capellix

[@skatertwentree267]

Thanks for this video. I was getting frustrated with the generic directions and drawings. Thank you for not having 10 minutes of fluff and just having a perfect, to-the-point tutorial!

[@enriquesanchez2001]

I MUST commend you for the gentle tone of your voice, which is free of ego, arrogance and a myriad other unpleasant aspects I find in other Tutorial Videos. THANK YOU for THAT, and CHEERS! ♥

[@MemebossYT]

Thanks a lot mate, a year ago I bought the ryzen 7 2700X and it comes with a decent stick cooler with RGB. However within a year it started to become loud and would collect dust very quickly. For my birthday I received this and this is a perfect guide. THNXXX

[@boolaidman471]

Im very confused because l got a completely different mounting bracket out of my amd/Am4 bag, and l can’t find any other videos on how to mount this version, it’s the same h100i Elite capellix

Massive thank you! - Was panicking when this arrived today and was overwhelmed by the amount of stuff in the box.

[@wgardi1762]

Is there thermal paste for this? Do you peel off a plastic shield before putting it over the cpu? I'm kinda confused how this AIO works compared to others I've seen.

This model absolutely outshines the RGB Pro XT. Had mine for a few months now, no signs I need to replace it. The RGB pro XT lasted maybe two months before it decided to leak all over my desk and lower fans.

Do you need to take out the motherboard if you already have an AIO installed? And does this AIO have pre-applied thermal paste, or do you need some ?

Pre applied

[@monkeybomb4664]

Thank goodness for this video I was lost where to put my 360mm cooler.

[@turbosnowy]

Thanks for this - was having a mare working out where the cables were supposed to go and almost cooked my cpu when I turned a new build on and the fans din't come on - didn't realise I needed to connect it the PSU via SATA connection (plus connect to a USB slot on the MB).

[@SKriLLeX1987]

Please don't install the radiator to the front with the hoses towards the bottom. The hoses need to go from the cooler UPWARDS to the radiator to ensure proper water flow and your cooler will work better and remain quieter

[@catblubber8902]

So if I want to install it on the front I have to make sure the radiator hoses are on the top?

[@SKriLLeX1987]

@@catblubber8902 yes, that's the best for the water flow and longevity of your AIO

[@catblubber8902]

@@SKriLLeX1987 Thank you!

[@M0dders]

That’s not entirely true. If you have proper hose length and it can reach with it with the inlets at the bottom. You should have them at the bottom. So there is absolutely no possible chance air can leave the radiator.

[@Messi-rw9ng]

I'm pretty sure this is bad advice...see this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJOqoKCsZp5oqc0

[@therealdudi8827]

I’m new to this so forgive me if this is a stupid question but do I need to put thermal paste on it?

[@ethhnp]

4:25 where did you find your « data cable » ?

[@gfunkyotrunk]

Excellent video. Thank you.

[@sinatra247]

Where would you mount the command pack for the AIO fan and rgb??

[@ArcherAC3]

What about the CPU Pump cable? Is it plugged into the Hub or the Motherboard itself? My main confusion with this cooler is where should I plug stuff, hub or MoBo.

[@dbixby121]

could i theoretically mount this to the front of my PC? ive seen some people mounting AIOs to the front, and i wanna know if that would be a good idea or not. on a thermodynamical standpoint i think it would be better because instead of pushing hot air of of your case through the radiator is pulls the cooler air in, better cooling the liquid, but will that screw with the product at all? Edit: so i guess i shoulda watched the video properly as bro literally addresses mounting the radiator on the front at 1:24. i watched the first few seconds before making my comment... im dumb XD

[@DeathMothDejaVu]

Thanks dude, appreciate you!

[@jasenpeterson6242]

do you know if the commander core you were using works with rgb fans that are not corsair?

[@JustPaget]

Did they Sata cable come with the product? If not where can I get the proper cable?

[@mrphysics2625]

Can u plug this in in series on the same sata line thats powering your sata drives?

[@youyouch3146]

This was a very good tutorial, but it took me 1 hour to screw everything in, and i have blisters to prove it, a small price to pay for water cooling..

[@aztec2k781]

Can you put the cooler on using a different bracket cause my box didn’t come with it

[@harveycai629]

wouldn't you connect your pump to the AIO_PUMP header and the fans included in the CPU_FAN header?

[@BeginnersTech]

You can use the aio header if you wish makes no difference I always use the CPU header. The fans plug into the connectors coming from pump head as this allows the software to control them

[@Darbydootx]

thank you for the help!!

[@Gaming56456]

I have the same water cooler and I love it bro!

[@yonggoose2905]

I'm assuming this doesn't require a reservoir for any specific liquid fluid? I get confused with hydro fluid and water cooler.

[@NVUSAttitude]

Im installing this to work on a LGA 2066 motherboard, but the standoffs dont reach the plate on the back (the one with the sticky tape) so the back bracket is kindve just sitting there (The specific motherboard is the PRIME X299-A II) Am I doing something wrong? Or is the back bracket not necessary despite being a 2066?

Does orientation of the cold plate matter? Instead of going over ram, can it be turned 90 degrees for the tubes to be towards the bottom of the case?

For the amd part, when attaching the cooler to the board, the bottom brackets doesn’t come with the cooler? Does it come with it or no?

[@pusheencat7722]

Dumb question, I know, but, can you put fans from other companies into the LED controller for corsair? I am getting an MSI case.

[@James-xq8sn]

Most likely not because different companies use different connectors so you probably can't connect MSI fans to a corsair controller and if you somehow can you definitely won't be able to control RGB because the software is completely different. So I would say no you'll have to stick to the same company for RGB.

does this cooler have pre applied thermal paste? or will i have to buy thermal paste.

[@viperrcr]

Yes, it has pre-applied thermal paste.

[@fatalcactus9574]

So for putting it in the front, the fans have to be installed in front of the radiator? Or can i put them behind the radiator and still be fine with it?

[@jgrimsta]

You should be fine either way, the fit of the fans to the radiator is to tight the air wil always flow over the finstack anyway if the fans are pushing or pulling the air. I just ordered one myself and have the same case as this one, I'm putting the rad in the top though. My Dominator ram's are very tall, but it shouldnt be a problem with this 240 radiator, a 280 would not fit because of the tall ram....

[@ThatDancingBanana]

i've looked online and tried to find a direct answer, but for the lga1700 boards, do you only need to order the standoffs, or do you need the entire bracket kit?

[@hotlavatube]

I wish I'd watched this before doing the install. I didn't notice the SATA power cable and ended up redoing the whole process. The written instructions in the manual are tiny and confusing. The instructions jump around from processor types, and are crammed with 12 different languages on a single page, pushing the font size down to unreadably small. Oh, btw, if you previously had iCue software installed from a previous generation of equipment, installing this new radiator can cause it to crash. I was able to fix it by uninstalling the old iCue, downloading a new version, and reinstalling.

[@ivy_ig_idk]

Does this come with fluid in the cooler?

[@lordadz1615]

Guys I'm acc confused. My mobo has cpu_fan and cpu_opt. In ur video you installed the pump cable to the cpu_fan but which one is ideal

You can, but you can't control the RGB on one of the fan types.

[@stomperr69]

When you purchase this liquid cpu cooler, why is it called liquid? is that mean the liquid it's already inside that both black cable? Do we evenneed to fill in with the liquid into that cooler fan or radiator?

[@Simon-qk4vz]

Regarding the fans , can you mix the fans so leave the ML fans on the AIO and then use LL as cases on the same controller with icue or do they all need to be the same type.? Thanks for the video aswel 👌

That’ll work

[@xarmaniss]

@@Po7ent you test it ? Because I have the same question. I want to use 4 sp120 rgb fans in case and 2 ml fans at cooler and I wanna connect all in to the case hub. It will work or i won't control the rgb ( sorry for my bad English)
