CorsairiCUE H150i ELITE LCD Display Liquid CPU Cooler (Custom IPS LCD Screen, 48 Dynamic RGB LEDs, 120mm Fans, 360mm Radiator, Commander Core Smart Lighting Controller Included) Black

Replaced my old AIO for this and it looks amazing! The problem I had with my previous AIO (MSI Mag Coreliquid K240) was that the LCD was so chunky and the water pipes were not long enough and was really awkward to fit in my case for some reason, this one is by far the best AIO I had to use! Not a full 5 star because —> It’s is expensive which is probably one of its downside so hopefully it’ll last me a long time! Also, not so much of an issue for me as I watch’s tutorials on YouTube on how to install it as I learn better by watching, it would be handy to have come with some sort of instructions??? For the price you pay it would have made sense??? Or even like a QR code that you scan that leads you to a YouTube tutorial video??? A lot of people do that nowadays if you’re environmentally conscious???

I really like this cooler. The fans and the radiator were super easy to install. The heat sync fits together very easily and it's all very intuitive and well labelled.The RGB hub that comes with it has plenty of additional slots if we want to add some more RGB fans at a later date.Love the sticky pads to mount the hub somewhere discrete and I found the cable management really well thought out. The cables themselves are nice discrete fabric cables and the cooler pipes are the perfect length.Using the icue tool it's really easy to program the RGB and set your own images on the little screen.Really useful temperature monitoring in the icue tool. You can control the fan speeds and it's great to see it bring the temperature back down in real time.All in all really happy with this!

With most Corsair stuff, you get what you pay for. You pay for the name and its reputation of being one of the top brands (ASUS, Corsair, NZXT etc)It aint cheap, but then again items like this are usually part of a decent build, with a decent chip to cool, in a decent case . Scrimping on cooling is just stupid and in the long term more expensive.The fancy LED screen is of course cool, but that doesnt contribute to what this product is mainly bought for, which is cooling.And it does this brilliantly.I have a 5800x - with a beefy 5Gz OC on it, and as the pic shows.. idles with about 10% load in the mid 30s.Under max load, Ive not seen it hit 70... Thats bloody impressive!Its premium, well built and manages hot chips with ease.Quiet too with little hum from the pump.Installation isnt super easy, but most AIOs require a bit of experience to get it right 1st time.Just Youtube it and you will get a good idea of how to set it all up.It has a Corsair Commander hub for the fans, but its super simple to do.If you manged to put square pegs in square holes at school, then you will be fine with this too.I found the swapping of brackets (It has intel as standard) to AMD was super easy compared to the last H150 I had.iCue gets better with each update too - making the customising and management of the block a lot easier tooI'd score this a solid 9/10.Is it worth almost £250? No.... but it looks good doesnt it? :)

Installed this cooler to replace a failed Fractal Lumen S24 and overall I am happy with the purchase. I using an i7 11700k with an all core overclock of 5.0Ghz and CPU stays in the mid 60's celsius during benchmarking and stress testing. Liquid temp is between 30c and 40c for the most part.I was surprised to see that instructions were not included in the box. You have to go online and view them which while not a deal breaker is kind of annoying. Especially if this was your only computer and you had to just view them on your phone when you are building. A printed copy should have been included.Fitting of the radiator and cooler went smoothly. I was installing this into a Fractal Mesh Compact which is a small case, but everything fitted ok. You just need to be aware of ram height clearance if you are in a small case. Otherwise you might not have room for the fans. The cooler comes with mounting plates for Intel and AMD chips and can support the 12th Gen (and probably 13th Gen) Intel chips.Once the system is up and running, you get that nice LED screen display showing your temps. There are plenty of options to change this in the iCUE software between liquid temp, core temp, CPU utilisation, etc - as well as a custom logo if you prefer that instead.You can select between different pump and fan profiles to either have max cooling, max quietness, or a balance in between. You can also set you own custom curves. I've been able to run everything on silent mode (which isn't silent in reality but still pretty quiet) and still keep the CPU in the 60's celsius when running at 5Ghz on all cores.The RGB effects on the cooler and the fans look good with smooth colour transitions. The pump is a little louder than I hoped for. My son had a regular H100i which is quieter than this. His was barely audible at all, but this unit definitely can be heard. However, he is also running an i5 and generating far less watts of heat overall. Fan noise is similar to my last cooler. They can go loud, but as long as I set the voltage up to keep the CPU from getting too hot, then overall they are fairly quiet.

Bought this as part of a build I put together for my other half. Its not cheap, but frankly if you're picking this up you're not exactly budget building. Its incredibly quiet while running, to the point I can't hear it unless Im putting my ear next to the case.Not super simple to install as there are a lot of wires and a fan hub to mount somewhere, but the actual mounting to the CPU is incredibly simple. Also comes with thermal paste ready in place if you dont want to use your own.Probably will be picking a second one up when I make another build for myself as its keeping a 5800x very cool and barely needs to ramp the fans up.Also you know.... cat GIFs on your cooler. Yay.

Really good aio and very nice temps, I have a 12700k cpu and it averages 29c and 40c when under high usage in gaming. Temps stay stable.
