Powerful cooling: It can keep your CPU cool even under heavy loads, thanks to its 280mm radiator, thermally optimized copper cold plate, and powerful AF RGB ELITE fans.
When you add powerful, low-noise cooling to the mix, your system will look great and will run even better.Install the cooler onto compatible Intel® and AMD® motherboard sockets including LGA 1700, 1200, 115X, and 2066, plus AMD Socket AM5 and AM4. In terms of performance, we are not expecting any major leaps forward with the Elite Capellix series as it is based on the same CoolIT pump/radiator combination as seen in previous Corsair coolers (RGB platinum and RGB Pro XT) so this new generation is focusing on the new RGB technology as its selling point. The Elite Capellix series is available in the usual three size variants, the H100i 240mm, H115i 280mm and the range-topping H150i with a 360mm radiator. On our AM4 test bench, Corsair's usage of threaded standoffs made securing the AMD motherboard backplate easy.
Our CPU cooler test system is Intel Z390 based, therefore, we will be following the relevant Intel 115X socket installation procedure. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. Since the coolers base plate comes with a pre-applied thermal compound coating, there is no need to apply additional thermal compound to the CPU heat spreader. Extreme CPU Cooling: Incredible cooling fan performance controllable via PWM, from 400 to 2,000 RPM while in operation. The traditional Corsair yellow has a new shade, almost a fluorescent yellow like a hi-vis jacket and the corsair logo has changed to a simpler bold design.Recently MSI tried to shake things up a little by revisiting the radiator mounted pump setup which wasn’t a great success, other than that, there is very little in the way of innovation when new AIO coolers are launched. The i9-10900K without a power limit (tested here running the Blender Classroom CPU cycles render) produces a constant ~200W CPU draw, and the fans under “balanced” just don’t ramp up enough under load to keep things competitive in this group. Dynamic in performance and yet low on noise, with a 240mm radiator and two CORSAIR ML120 RGB Magnetic Levitation PWM fans controllable at speeds between 400 RPM and 2,400 RPM.
Extended tubing length of 400mm (H100i, H115i) / 450mm (H150i, H170i), modular tool-free mounting brackets, and pre-applied XTM70 thermal paste make for easy installation on the latest Intel® and AMD® motherboard sockets, including LGA 115X, 1200, 1700, 2011, and 2066, plus AMD Socket AM4, AM5, and sTRX4/sTR4. In regards to performance per dollar, it could be a bit better, as the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 280 A-RGB certainly wins hands down on that front. The 3-pin RGB fan cables and PWM control cables are then connected on opposite sides of the Commander Core RGB unit for full RGB and speed control starting from port number one. Ocuk Limited trading as Overclockers UK is a credit broker, not a lender, and is Authorised and Regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Just like KSCHENDEL said, you are going a bit overboard, you could stick with a air cooler like the Thermalright Peerless Assassin, or maybe Deepcool AK400, or the Arctic Freezer 34 eSports Duo.Finance is only available to permanent UK residents aged 18+, subject to status, terms and conditions apply. Corsair lists support for all recent Intel platforms including LGA 1200 and 2066, but more enthusiasts probably care about AMD support these days, and this includes the latest AM4 and sTRX4 sockets. It is much of the same story with noise normalised to 40dBA, the Elite Capellix is only beaten by the larger 360mm NZXT Kraken X73, which is to be expected. We're making continuous improvements to the compatibility checker and would love to hear your feedback!
