CORSAIR iCUE H115i ELITE CAPELLIX AIO Liquid CPU Cooler Review

Cooling/CPU Cooling by stefan @ 2020-11-25

The iCUE H115i ELITE CAPELLIX AIO from CORSAIR does offer similar cooling performance versus the previously tested H115i RGB PRO XT model but improvements in terms of the pump lighting effects, a replaceable pump cover in order to fit your setup color scheme bur also the RGB variety of the ML fans (ML140 RGB series). If you do have other RGB fans inside the system from CORSAIR, the installation task is much simplified thanks to the included iCUE Commander CORE, which minimizes the number of cables used, has a port dedicated for the CAPELLIX AIO pump and we will only need a spare USB 2.0 header on the motherboard in order to have full control via iCUE software.

Test Setup and Test Results

Test Setup:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X Retail

CPU Cooler: CORSAIR H115i ELITE CAPELLIX AIO

Motherboard: ASRock X570 Taichi

RAM: CORSAIR DOMINATOR PLATINUM RGB 32GB 3600MHz Kit

Video: XFX Radeon RX 5700 DD Ultra 8GB

Power Supply: CORSAIR RM850 850W PSU

SSD: Crucial MX500 512GB

Case: CORSAIR Graphite 760T

We have performed the tests while keeping the pump in the “Balanced Mode” for all coolers and cycled though “Quiet”, “Balanced” and “Extreme” profiles for the included fans in each bundle. For keeping the CPU at maximum load, we did use AIDA64 Stress Test suite, while the temperatures were separately monitored by Ryzen Master utility. The Ryzen 9 3900X has had all settings on Auto, so no manual overclocking was in order. During the time of testing, we have succeeded to keep a steady room temperature of 23.5 degrees Celsius.
