If you’ve seen one Corsair cooler, you’ve probably seen them all. The new H100i doesn’t do anything to reinvent the wheel in terms of looks. It does however feature a new pump aesthetic, which dissipates an array of LEDs for an appropriately neon look. CORSAIR AF RGB ELITE PWM fans deliver massive low-noise airflow with AirGuide technology for extreme CPU coolingperformance.

The excellent cooling provided by iCUE ELITE CAPELLIX coolers starts with a high-performance centrifugal pump, delivering a flow rate of up to 0.82L/min while generating less than 20 dBA, for extreme cooling with low noise. A split-flow copper cold plate rapidly absorbs heat from your CPU, while powerful ML RGB Series fans dispel that heat after it is carried to the radiator, utilizing magnetic levitation bearings to spin at up to 2,400 RPM with precise PWM control.

Corsair’s iCUE H100i Elite Capellix XT did well, cooling loads of 270W+ with Intel’s i9-13900K. If you need a 240mm cooler that doesn’t suffer from bursty fan behavior as speeds spin drastically up and down, Corsair’s iCUE H100i Elite Capellix XT is what you’re looking for. Unlike other coolers, the noise levels of Corsair’s cooler is tied to the CPU Coolant temperature by default – resulting in quieter operation during most common tasks and the elimination of bursty fan behavior. Next, make sure that your Windows system is up to date with all major, critical, and optional updates.

If you try to update the firmware of your iCUE Elite Capellix liquid CPU cooler and the update fails, it could be an issue caused by RGB motherboard software, such as Gigabyte RGB Fusion. To fix this issue, try the following steps. With the H100i installed, we were concerned at certain intervals that the PC had flatlined. Instead, it was just diligently doing its job. The fans were rotating and once the cable management had been sorted, we were more than happy with it’s whisper-quiet performance, even while gaming. Verdict – 4/5 Install the 4 Intel standoff screws into your motherboard. Make sure all 4 screws are tightened until secure.

The CORSAIR iCUE H100i ELITE CAPELLIX, of course, works with CORSAIR’s iCUE software environment. From the iCUE software interface, you can control fan speeds, pump speeds, monitor CPU temperatures, monitor coolant temperatures, and (of course) control your RGB light shows. On that front, the software comes programmed with a number of different lighting modes. However, for the creative types out there, iCUE also supports custom programmed modes so you can go crazy with your RGB light shows.
