Cooling/CPU Cooling by stefan @ 2022-04-25

The iCUE ELITE CAPELLIX LCD Display Upgrade Kit does really add quite a bit of eye candy to your current setup, while doubling up as a monitoring tool for the internal components. It comes with an IPS panel with a 480x480 resolution and renders video effects at 30FPS, for very fluent animations. The frame of the display is also RGB enabled in order to sync different effects with other iCUE-enabled hardware you may have installed, while the installation can be done by anyone with the help of four mounting magnets so no need of removing the pump from the CPU!

Ever wanted to upgrade your existing AIO with the latest version features, without selling and buying a new one? If you already own a CORSAIR iCUE ELITE CAPELLIX Liquid CPU Cooler, the manufacturer has made available the iCUE ELITE CPU COOLER LCD Display Upgrade Kit, which allows you to switch the pump RGB cover with the brand new, IPS display one, thanks to the modular design of the product. Additionally, the switch can be done by most individuals since the installation is easily done by following some instructions!

 

The upgrade kit has arrived in a very compact cardboard enclosure, sporting the newer CORSAIR box art pattern; the top cover does show the pump cover in operation but also the fact that it is driven by iCUE software and features an IPS technology display:

Besides the pump cover upgrade, we will also receive an Allen key, four screws, an adapter but also a Safety and Warranty Information leaflet:

 

 

 

The adapter allows connecting two different devices to the same USB 2.0 header, a handy accessory considering the nowadays mobos come with less and less headers of this type:

 

 

 

The screws can be also tightened by hand, thanks to their shape:
