Corsair H115i PRO RGB water cooling (two ML140 fans, advanced software control of RGB lighting and fan speed, zero RPM fan mode) black

While installation for me wasn't quite as easy as it should have been, I can't fault the cooler for that, instead the Corsair 460x I was installing it in. Considering there is space for fans at the top, Corsair really should have added some extra space up top in order to fit a radiator there. I instead ended up installing the radiator on the exterior of the case, at the top. Regardless, this isn't the fault of the cooler, and when I initially attempted to install it with the motherboard out of the case it went very smoothly, far easier than installing a high end air cooler. The included instructions were sufficient, but nothing special. Not everything was as clear as it could have been, however the installation itself is pretty intuitive and so this is a non-issue.When I initially powered on my computer for the first time after installing it I was shocked at how quiet it was. I actually ended up peering into my case to ensure that the two included ML140 fans had been connected properly. It really is dead silent, even on the default profile, and my three Corsair SP120 RGB case fans make significantly more noise than this cooler. After tweaking the fan profiles of everything and leaving the pump on the 'balanced' preset I cannot hear my computer (~0.75 metres away from me on my desk) when gaming with my speakers.With my 8600k on stock settings idle temperatures, while insignificant, were sitting around 32C in my room with an ambient temperature of 19C. What was really impressive was the temperatures I was seeing under load - in Aida64 Extreme on stock settings temperatures barely exceeded 60C after half an hour on the stress test, and all the while my system remained dead silent. After over-clocking my i5 8600k to 5Ghz at 1.350V I reach 68C under the same test. This is all with the included thermal paste on the cooler, and on a non-delidded processor. This performance is really impressive to me coming from air cooling.In terms of negatives, the only thing I can think of is the USB cable coming from the cooler. To control the RGB this must be plugged in, however the way that it comes out of the cooler can make it somewhat difficult to cable manage. I tried to route it underneath the VRM heatsink, however it comes out some distance from the motherboard, meaning that it is still very visible from the exterior of my case. An integrated solution for this would be more appealing than the mini USB cable utilised here, as it would make it easier to hide the cable coming out from the waterblock. On the plus side this cable is black, and so does not stand out too badly.Overall this cooler is superb, and does everything it needs to very well. The mix of performance and aesthetics cannot be faulted, and the 360mm offerings from both Corsair and other brands do not pose a significant enough bump in performance to justify the increase in performance in my opinion. This is a five star product.

I was fed up having my Windows machine crash with heat issues when transcoding video using Handbrake so I decided to upgrade my Noctua fan to this water cooler. Glad I did.The unit is easy to install as long as you have a basic understanding of your case and motherboard. Carefully check which risers you need for your board (Have a look in your motherboard manual if unsure on type to use).Comes with pre applied thermal paste which is great although I suggest you make sure of position over the cpu so as to avoid moving it about after fitting and smearing the paste.Under normal load the pump and fans are barely audible provided you download and configure the iCUE software from Corsair. This software allows you to set custom fan and pump performance based on heat of various sensors, I use the CPU sensor to drive the power of the fans and pump which seems to work well however you can adjust according to many other sensors too.The same software can be used to adjust the lighting on the unit although there is no lighting on the fans or radiator (Which suits me fine).Other Corsair hardware can be configured using the same software which is useful as I have a Corsair keyboard.At full load and in the height of the hot weather we have had my CPU was peaking at 63 degrees which is way lower than the temps with the fan cooler. Be warned though, the noise level is significant when the fans and pump are running full speed to keep the CPU cool in hot weather however there isn't really any way to avoid this.The only gripe I have is that the fans are set according to current user so if I am running an intensive heat generating process and someone else logs into their account on the same machine, it sets the fan according to their usage which can lead to overheating the CPU. If anyone knows a way of getting round this would love to hear - As a workaround I set the same iCUE settings in everyone's account on the same machine however would prefer if the setting could be made globally rather than on a per user setting.You will need a spare USB header on your board to use this unit and I had to disconnect one of the leads from my front of case USB units however not a big deal if you have a spare.

Amazing quality! One of the best water coolers out there

I used to use a cooler master heatsink, installation was a pain when I first built my PC (for content creation). Then I always wanted to get a water based cooling solution for my CPU, so I got this. Installation was so nice, I probably could have got my gran to do it. Looks cool in my case (the photo doesn't do it any justice (as in my one)).As for Temps, I have noticed a 10 degree difference in cooling for my Intel I7 Skylake 6700K (not overclocked but at 4GHz). So I can now comfortably overclock. And by the way, when running at max load on the CPU, the cpu temp does rise a little bit, but the key thing is, is that there is only a 2 degree difference in the temperature of the coolant inside the liquid cooler.Would 10/10 buy again and it's affordable too. I would completely skip out air cooling again, and maybe even do a full water cooling loop.p.s. fans are also quiet.

Score: 9.2/10The Corsair Hydro Series H150i PRO RGB AIO Liquid CPU Cooler represents an ideal blend of exceptional cooling performance, aesthetics, and noise control. Delivering a triple-fan setup with a large 360mm radiator, this cooler stands out with a high score of 9.2 out of 10.One of the key strengths of the H150i PRO RGB is its cooling performance. The 360mm radiator, combined with the efficiency of liquid cooling, ensures optimal heat dissipation even under heavy loads. This makes it an excellent choice for high-performance CPUs, including those that are overclocked.The cooler includes three 120mm fans which, despite their power, manage to operate at impressively low noise levels. These fans utilize magnetic levitation technology, reducing friction and noise while providing high airflow.The aesthetics of the H150i PRO RGB are another major plus. The unit features dynamic multi-zone RGB backlighting on the pump head that can be adjusted to match your system's color scheme. Paired with the sleek design of the radiator and fans, this cooler can greatly enhance the visual appeal of your build.The integration with Corsair’s iCUE software allows for customizable fan speeds and pump speed settings, ensuring the cooler operates optimally for your specific needs. iCUE also lets you synchronize the RGB lighting with other compatible devices, creating a cohesive lighting effect across your system.While the H150i PRO RGB brings many strengths, it is not without potential drawbacks. The sheer size of the 360mm radiator may pose compatibility issues with smaller cases. Also, while the installation process is generally straightforward, the multitude of cables required for power, control, and lighting might be overwhelming for novice builders.In conclusion, the Corsair Hydro Series H150i PRO RGB AIO Liquid CPU Cooler is a top-tier cooling solution, delivering high cooling performance, low noise, and excellent aesthetics. While it may pose challenges in terms of size and installation, its performance and visual appeal make it a great option for anyone looking to build a high-performance, visually stunning PC.

El nivel de ruido es más que aceptable , pero depende en qué nivel tengas funcionando los ventiladores, además de que esos ventiladores son de buena calidad , son los que a menudo compro , 2500rpm

O produto chegou muito rápido, sem contar que é um dos modelos ótimos da Corsair, ainda não puis ele a prova pois estou montando o setup pouco a pouco, o RGB dele é apenas onde resfria o processador, as fans não são.

Build: i9-9900k, Vega 56 Pulse, 32GB 3000MHz TridentZ, Gigabyte Z390 DesignareI went with this cooler for my first ever personal build. I've always built PCs for other people but never for my own, being a Mac-main user. I finally decided on a Hackintosh/Win10 build after seeing a guide on Tony86 and copied most of the build except for the GPU and CPU.Using an NZXT H500 Case, this AIO did not fit... I was SO upset. But I was determined to build the PC THAT weekend no matter what it took. So I removed the case radiator bracket and used a Dremel to remove the lip on top that restricted the radiator from fitting. Although this did cause the front case I/O ports to angle a bit due to a tight fit, I didn't care. I ended up getting it to fit better than I had initially thought possible... I made it a PUSH AND PULL radiator, using the NZXT case fans in the front, then Corsair LL fans in the back. (Outside > NZXT Fans > Radiator > LL Fans > Inside). Some may think, WHY? But I'll tell you why... After all the games I have run so far, the CPU has not gotten above 45 degrees. Even under load for video editing. It's nuts! On top of everything, it's silent.Pros:-Very effective at cooling, under 45 at all times with 9900k-EPIC RGB CPU cover-No leaking so far at all-Easy to follow instructions-All hardware includedCons:-The RGB cover is not addressable in iCUE. Not sure if that's because the USB header runs through an NZXT header hub... but the connection IS recognized in macOS and Windows inside settings. Very odd... But no biggie because the default rainbow is awesome imo.-The MicroUSB along the side of the CPU cover seems very clunky and annoying, standing out. I wish they would've designed the USB interface to be pre-installed and thinner, harder for the eye to see.Summary:I would totally buy this again for another build, just maybe a 3x120 instead of the 2x140, and with a bigger case, maybe the H700. Even with the CPU block RGB issues, I don't regret this purchase AT ALL. It's great, it's cool, and it's COOL. Get it? Cool and Cool?

O Produto chegou em perfeita ordem e depois de instalado está funcionando como deveria estar. Não foi difícil de instalar, mas o manual é muito simples e não fala nada do soft para utilização. Minha sorte é que o teclado, que é da mesma marca, vem com instruções de qual soft utilizar e este reconheceu o cooler de imediato. Por lá você controla o que quer do mesmo.Recomendo com tranquilidade.
