Along with that cooler, Corsair also sent us a more ‘budget’ option, the 240mm H100i Elite Capellix XT. 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 think that last part is probably a long shot, so any comparison with another 4 core will have to do. At this level the noise was around 38 dBA, and while this is slightly more noticeable than recently-tested air solutions (other than the A500) it provides a compelling performance/noise ratio at this highest preset. C improvement over the excellent Dark Rock Pro 4 demonstrates how effective liquid coolers like this can be in situations like this – with the i9-9900KS a problem for all but the largest air coolers.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). Frankly, I don't think the idea that no one here has both coolers and 6 hours to burn for your pleasure is that difficult a concept to understand. You can customize cooling performance, monitor coolant and CPU temperatures, and change the color of the RGB LED lighting from the default white to match your system, or to change color based on temperature readings and other inputs. I was pleasantly surprised to see my motherboard’s RGB options detected by the software, allowing easy control over all system RGB functions. The H100i comes with thermal material already applied to the CPU cooling unit, so when you are ready to mount the CPU cooling unit, remove the plastic shielding that covers the thermal material and use the 4x thumbscrews to secure it to the mounting bolts that we screwed directly to the Intel 2011 socket earlier.

If I get bored waiting I might just plug the other two fans into the pump controller and see what happens. As for sound, that is an entirely different matter and directly related to the fan speed you are running.We’ll also show results at 125W for those who prefer whisper-quiet cooling, at the cost of some performance.

A Blender ‘Classroom’ image render was used to generate load temps, with the highest recorded package temp noted for each test run. For someone who "already knows all that", you have a lot of questions whether you are aware of it or not. I’ll be testing Intel’s i9-13900K CPU using Asus’ TUF Gaming Z690 Gaming Plus WIFI motherboard and Cooler Master’s HAF 700 Berserker computer case, with case fans limited to 35% speeds.Now that the unit is mounted, we will want to plug in power cables for both of the fans and the pump. 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. Both 120mm cooling fans ship with rubberized mounting pads on all four corners to minimize vibration noise. The H100i Pro comes with ML series fans that do offer a much better noise profile at medium speeds where you spend most of your time. With the H100i Pro, you will have 3 pump speed settings including a very quiet 1100 rpm one meant for desktop work only.

The disadvantage to this method is that semi-intensive, sustained, workloads (like those we use for testing) will cause the cooler to run as loudly as in a fully unrestricted workload. Expand your iCUE Murals creations to your setup's walls and surroundings with Nanoleaf smart lighting devices, for a fully immersive gaming experience. These kind of reviews would really benefit from stating what differences these coolers have from even more similarly named models from the same company.
Included with the cooler are three CPU plates with different designs, allowing for limited customization.
