CORSAIR’ H100 was a landmark of the self-contained liquid CPU cooler revolution, and after nearly a decade we have seen numerous changes as the model has evolved and improved. Most recently, the Hydro Series H100i PRO RGB had been the premium 240 mm offering, with this new iCUE H100i RGB PRO XT providing enhanced RGB lighting effects (and a lower list price). The load temps with the iCUE H100i RGB PRO XT were excellent using the “Extreme” profile, coming in just behind the larger (280 mm) H115i RGB PLATINUM at the same performance preset. “Balanced” results were actually tied between these two liquid coolers, but the “Quiet” preset was not kind to the iCUE H100i RGB PRO XT here, as a more aggressive fan profile is needed with this CPU. On the contrary, that is exactly what I was trying to do. Your first post was misplaced and really targeting the wrong people. That is fine. I tried to redirect you. Your second post was rude and suggests you don't understand or care. That is not. It made me slightly nervous that the two channels are pre-wired (not a port on the pump) and the cables are pretty cheap and flimsy. It crossed my mind that it might actually be a single channel split in the pump housing, but the spec sheet does specifically state two channels so that seems unlikely.

Hydro Series™ H100i v2 Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler

There is zero reason to drop support for support for a unit that hasn't changed at all...adding LEDs doesn't change how the fans, pump, and sensors work. That’s because the GTX/v2 series is not supported in CUE 4 as noted in the release notes and the pinned thread below. I did manage to find this - but perhaps you already did too: https://forum.corsair.com/forums/showthread.php?p=839688&p=839688-The RGB Pro XT's pump is CoolIT madeIn addition to testing Cinebench without power limits enforced, we’ll also be showing results when the CPU’s power consumption is limited to a more reasonable 200W. We’ll also show results at 125W for those who prefer whisper-quiet cooling, at the cost of some performance. For both of these results, we’ll show traditional delta over ambient temperature results. All ELITE LCD XT AIOs include pre-applied CORSAIR XTM70 Extreme Performance thermal paste for maximum heat transfer from your high-end processor to the cooler cold plate. CORSAIR iCUE software brings your system to life with dynamic synchronized RGB lighting, customizable fan speeds to silence fans and advanced system monitoring. Now that the unit is mounted, we will want to plug in power cables for both of the fans and the pump. The H100i has an integrated 4-fan hub which is where you will want to plug in your H100i fans. You will find two ports on top of the cooling unit, where you can plug in the included fan power adapter cables. Each adapter will support two fans, and by plugging the fans directly into the fan power adapter cable and into the cooling unit, you will be able to monitor and control the H100i fans through the Corsair Link V2 software.

iCUE H100i ELITE CAPELLIX Liquid CPU Cooler - CORSAIR

Corsair’s iCUE software provides a graphical UI to allow management of all detected Corsair peripherals and components, ranging from customized color palettes and patterns, to fan curve profiles, pump management and even the device firmware update that provided us a bit of a higher pump speed on the Extreme setting. I solved my issue by installing a powered internal USB hub, plugged into my motherboard's USB header and powered by my power supply. I then plugged my Commander Pro's USB cable into the hub. This solution was suggested to me by Corsair support as my motherboard (Asus Prime X570 Pro) has a known issue of not providing enough usb power to the H100. For my issue, it was a simple fix. The advantage to this method is that common loads will not cause the cooler’s fans to reach louder levels. Even when I opened 50 tabs in a row in Mozilla Firefox, the cooler ran as silently as an idle load. You clearly are not here for helping. And if you didn't know i already have specified my specs. It's right under my profile name; (fryzen's specs). Harness the power of iCUE with the included iCUE Commander CORE to control the fan speed and RGB lighting for the included ML RGB fans, with the potential to control additional CORSAIR RGB fans, up to a total ofsix.I've found information on all the previous models with respect to the max current of the controller and they vary from 1A to 4A. I didn't want to just assume it was 2A as the 4 fans together pull just over 1A (the two pull fans are the red RGB variant of the ML120 pro series rated at 0.299A).

H100i RGB PRO XT Review: Business as Usual Corsair H100i RGB PRO XT Review: Business as Usual

Expand your iCUE Murals creations to your setup's walls and surroundings with Nanoleaf smart lighting devices, for a fully immersive gaming experience. While a particular user may be able to give their relative and subjective impressions of one cooler or the other, no one here has both coolers, a test bench, and a relatively obscure 7 year old processor to give you precise temperature and sound data significant to you. You need to find a professional review of one or both coolers to get that data and try to find a relatively similar TDP processor for power to make the temp comparisons meaningful. I think that last part is probably a long shot, so any comparison with another 4 core will have to do. The temperature differences are going to small, one way or another. I was thinking of buying a Corsair iCUE H100i RGB Pro XT, 240mm Radiator to reduce the noise on my i5-750.I currently have the pull fans on a separate fan controller, but that is just a stop gap. I would like to run them with the push fans on the pump fan controller. Even with the different fans, the end performance is differences are tenths of a degree on the test bench. That effectively means zero. Fans are replaceable and there is no requirement you use the ones that come with it. Obviously that adds a cost factor is buying new ones and the price of 2 x ML120 fans (RGB or not) likely makes the coolers the same total price. If you are worried about the fans, the Pro series has an inherent advantage. However, I still think this really turns on the RGB vs no RGB. There is no meaningful performance difference between the two coolers. A powerful all-in-one CPU cooler leveraging revolutionary iCUE LINK technology for easier, faster, and cleaner building than ever before. CORSAIR’s iCUE H100i RGB PRO XT offers excellent cooling, controlled noise levels, and excellent customization with both lighting and fan speeds easily managed using the iCUE software. So. Not only is the new software's installer a horribly UX experience (redundant is redundant). But the new version doesn't even support the older products.

Control and customize Philips Hue smart lighting devices through your iCUE software, and synchonize ambient room lighting with the rest of your RGB setup. I'm still having the issues. Received a brand new one (RMA replacement) from OriginPC. Bought my own certified replacement cables. Nothing has circumvented the inevitable.In terms of physical differences, that is a lot easier. The H100x is non-software cooler. What you see is what you get. White LED. You need to supply control for pump and fans. The H100i Pro is a full RGB cooler with its own fan controller for the two non-RGB ML fans (or any other PWM fans). It is software programmable and falls under the iCUE umbrella. Corsair utilizes a 240mm dual-pass aluminum radiator on the H100i RGB PRO XT, while airflow is provided by a pair of 2400 RPM 4-pin PWM fans rated to 75 CFM. While RGB fans have become commonplace on most AIO coolers, these features are notably absent here. With 16 RGB LEDs on a modern pump head design, the ELITE series deliver great cooling with the looks to match.
