CORSAIR iCUE H115i RGB PRO XT Liquid CPU Cooler Review

Cooling/CPU Cooling by stefan @ 2020-01-30

The H115i RGB PRO XT AIO offers visible improvements over its predecessor by including an even better pump assembly and while working with the Quiet and Balanced profiles for the fans we have observed lower temperatures on the Ryzen 9 3900X in both IDLE and Full Load; we need to mention that both coolers have had similar fan speeds in this modes, the only big difference being with the Extreme profile (1131RPM vs 1491RPM on the XT).

A Closer Look Part II

These fans do have a less elaborated frame design, with no rubber layers for vibration dampening purposes; in the middle we will find a white CORSAIR logo:

 

 

 

On the back side, we will note the 31-004186 product code, but also the power rating which is 12V at 0.259A; these can exert a static pressure of 3.0 mm – H2O:

 

 

 

The fans feature a 4-pin PWM connector:

 

 

 

A unique SN can be observed on the frame as well:

 

 

 

Besides the fans, we will also receive the necessary mounting screws and standoffs in a smaller bag, the AM3/AM4 mounting bracket, an Intel socket backplate, the AMD sTR4 mounting bracket but also the USB control cable:

 

 

 

The small plastic bag houses long fan screws, Intel socket standoffs, washers, AMD screw clips, sTR4 standoffs, radiator screws but also four thumbscrews:

 

 

 

Next, we will spot the AIO full assembly, with the pump and large 280mm radiator:

 

 

 

The full dimensions of the radiator are 322mm x 137mm x 27mm and comes with an expanded core compared to other cooler manufacturers, for delivering high cooling surface area and better performance:

 

 

 

On the side frame of the all-black radiator we will get to see a chromed CORSAIR logo:
