Id rate 5 stars but building with this AIO was so tiring. It took me 4 hours to complete.
Fits in a h510 elite but barely- very tight squeeze. Make sure to check your pc dimensions incase it wont fit.
Comes with the bracket for AMD, ThreadRippers and INTEL. For AMD youll need the clip mounting brackets that came with your motherboard – if you threw them out youll need to rebuy them. Theyre cheap, around 5 for 2 sets.
Temps have been low and ive been using it for 2 weeks, running a 330 mods modded mc server 24/7 with 5-9 people on at once. Little bit loud but its bearable. Turning down fan speeds may help with this
Overall this is a really good product. The CPU mount, the pump, braided tubes and the radiator all fit really well and are of great quality. In use, the pump is quiet and cpu temperatures remain well controlled.
The iCue software is fine and it’s easy to fully control this cooler from the app, both pump and fan curves as well as the lighting. You can’t use it to control any other manufacturers items, but this is mostly standard in the industry and not a specific criticism.
The only downside for me with this cooler was the noise from the standard fans. Even with the fan curves set to ‘quiet’ or using a custom curve, the fans make a significant amount of noise in action, noticeably louder than my GPU or any of the other case fans. I took the cheap and easy option to replace the Corsair fans with models from a German manufacturer of quiet pc products, and I have re-used the Corsair fans elsewhere.
Old cooler broke and replaced it with this one a few months ago, can’t complain, RGB options are nice.
Is an excellent AIO, however has a couple bad things from my point of view. The bump use a SATA power cable, so you have to make sure have a molex SATA cable. On the other hand, if your processor use LGA 1700, you have to buy a profit kit. (only the screws)
Installation is easy. Coming from an air-cooled PC to a liquid cooler there is a very noticeable difference. It runs almost silently. You can configure fan speeds to suit your needs.
It’s very difficult to install the fans to the radiator. The screws didn’t want to go into the holes. It was really terrible experience. I am giving 4 stars just because I have sentiment to this company.
Love these build my PC and my sons and his girlfriends and I used this as a CPU cooler each time and they are super easy to install and fit. They do a good job and much better than the days of Water Cooling you did yourself. No leaks and clean and tidy. Definately recommended.
The 2 fans are amazing. Definitely get what you pay for and its this case its should be twice the price! The valves for the tube is very tough so you wont be seeing any leeks from this. My only problem, a small one at that, is the fans do have and audible spin maybe because i play demanding games, maybe mine is faulty, maybe its just how it is but with a headset this shouldn’t be an issue. Regardless overall i am definitely satisfied with this product.
Very nice aio from corsair very easy to assemble and install into pc keeps my cpu at good temps when gaming. The fans you get a a bit loud tho.
Very easy to fit and keeps my intel 10900k cool.
Very good cooler, harder to install than I thought. I removed the bracket that was in it and replaced it with AM4 brackets, initially was putting it in the wrong way, make sure you get the right way and it clicks in nicely. One side will be firme the other side will have a bit of flex. The remainder of the install was okay, but the thing that was irritating is that the SATA connection is on the same wire as the 3 pin female CPU fan, when I plugged the SATA connector in it pulled the CPU fan connector out, and because it was positioned under the radiator and fans I had to remove it to plug the CPU fan in again. All in all not bad, lowered my CPU temp by 10 degrees. Good luck
I have built many computer systems and Corsair coolers have always been the best. They might be a little more expensive but they last longer and perform better than others, from my personal experience
i was a small bit worried when i bought this as while it had LGA1200 labelled on the amazon page it did not mention it on the box but it fit perfectly and i have had no issues with temps at all my only complaint is a small amount of noise when turning my pc o
Works as it should. Keeps my Ryzen 7 3700x nice and cool. Was a hassle to install, mainly due to my case being a bit awkward. Not sure I like the mounting mechanism as it looks like it could slip off the hooks on the motherboard. But it hasn’t been a problem. The preapplied thermal paste works a treat. Rgb is good and the software is quite intuitive. Fans are not very noisy. All round great pump.
The lighting effects look really nice. The cooling plate comes with pre applied thermal paste but it’s a very thin layer and I found it easier to just clean off and use your own, so you can remount it if you don’t get a good contact first time.
The braided hoses are high quality and the radiator is a solid unit which is easy enough to mount either in the front of the case or as I did on the top.
The fans are really quiet and can be configured in multiple push/pull configurations depending on your airflow requirements.
The software is easy to install and will tell you various information, like cpu temp, coolant temp and fan speeds, as well as various lighting effects.
I have a mid range Corsair case with clear side panel and it looks really nice. I got a 30oC drop in cpu temp from the Ryzen 5 stock cooler that came with my board.
It’s turned my PC from hot, loud and unclockable, to cool, quiet and much higher clock rates than I could get previously.
Bravo Corsai
First I’ll get the issues out of the way…
The first is the mounting bracket when using it with an AMx cpu.
There is no custom backplate for fitting this to an AMx processor. Instead it uses the standard ‘clip-on’ bracket that is default supplied with AMD motherboards, so if you are upgrading to this from another cooler with a custom backplate, make sure you still got the default cooler bracket around or you’re gonna have a bad time.
Second issue is the power connector for the pump.
This AIO doesn’t draw power from the motherboard to power either the fans or pump.
Instead it has a SATA power connector on a short lead which is shared with the tacho connector which plugs into the motherboards CPU fan header as normal.
Make sure you got a spare SATA power socket and that it is close enough to the pump to plug it in.
This seems like a really bizarre decision on Corsairs part to do this, as it’s not like you can use the CPU fan and AIO pump header on your motherboard for anything else.
The fans are a little more noisy than I’m used to, but I wear noise-cancelling headphones when at my PC so I never hear anything.
The RGB effects on the cooler block are pretty nice. I have yet to mess around with the software.
Cooling works very well on my 5600X and I am noticing a much slower increase and reduced spike in temps when under load.
Only thing I would do to improve this cooler would be to swap out the fans for some high speed beQuiet models to get the noise level down a few notches.
I’ll keep this short n sweet! This took 10c of my temps from my previous air cooler, idle I’m now sitting at around 34-37c on ryzen 3700x. We’ll worth the extra money to protect your investment.
Being my first install of a watercooler, I found it relatively easy to install. The instruction manual is easy to follow – don’t be afraid to apply more pressure than you think.
The only downside is that on idle temps through my build, the pump does have a slight whine however under gaming loads, you cannot hear it. After a few weeks of using I automatically drowned out the sounds.
A nice upgrade for anyone looking to go from a stock cooler.
Had no problem installing it. The included thermal paste wasn’t the best but I just substituted it for some MX4 and all was good there. Swapped the fans for two Noctua fans too and now it’s very quiet and seems to be keeping my Ryzen R7 5800x cool, never really going too far above 70 degrees under cine bench test. Bear in mind I have a older Antec case from around 2017 ish so not so bad really I have to say. Overall very happy with purchase and happy with the experience as a whole.
Easy to install only no lake no include the core
Easy to install and setup. Only issues were figuring out which way to mount the fans, a direction indicator on the fans would be helpful (although the internet tells me they often have a hard to see molded arrow mine didn’t and I had to go with black shape to figure it out)
The usb connector on the block could be easier to reach, if your motherboard, like mine has a lot of shroudibg around the cpu socket the clearance between the USB and the mothboard can be very very tight.
In operation it is a dream. Works well for me on both windows and Linux.
I use the windows app to set the fan speed thresholds and these apply regardless of the OS you boot into. But if you are purely installing Linux you might want to consider dual booting for the icue app. That said, the default values are probably perfect anyway.
Reduced cpu by about 20 degrees compared to air cooler. Fans are noisy but powerful. Pump seems to be improved from previous designs.
The cooler performs great and handles my overclocked 9700k well. The fans are also good but are showing their age. Even at low speeds there is a distinctive hum that may or may not bother you. I think this is more down to the fans being outclassed in this area by newer designs and if you used headphones you wouldn’t notice. Installing is easy apart from selecting the correct stand offs. They’re marked in the instructions but the parts are all in a bag and there’s nothing on the parts to tell them apart. They are different threads and lengths but it can be hard to match to the diagram. It requires a connection to a USB header so make sure you have one free. It also use a Corsair ARGB device or compatible motherboard. The fans can be controlled by the pump which stops them ramping up with the CPU temperature fluctuations. Overall I’d recommend this product as my only real complaint of fan noise is subjective.
Really like , works well , way better then my last cpu cooler , and like the lightning, keep my cpu in 30 to 38 chilling and gaming around d 41 to 54
First time getting an AIO:
Looks super sleek and sexy
Makes temps low and fans quiet
Don’t need to touch anything water related as its all in one
-Finicky to install if you’ve never used one before as it used the AM4 default brackets on your motherboard (If using AMD)
Glad I didn’t get the RBG fans. A great cooling system for my Ryzen 9 5900X. Loaded to top of my case. It does overlap the Mobo, so make sure your RAM and cables are connected prior to fitting as it will get fiddly. Only thing I did not like was the paste put on the heatsink. Very messy and not very well protected if you need to change brackets for AMD CPU from Intel. You need to be careful handling it if you swap brackets over as the heatsink is then exposed and liable to contact.
Bought this cooler to replace my failing 5 year old H100i V2 and not disappointed. In the box you get the AIO, two Fans (non RGB), and all the mounting gear. The cooler comes with thermal paste pre-applied. Mounting this cooler was no more troublesome than any other 240mm AIO and comes with clear instructions on how to mount to Intel or AMD motherboards. The cooler runs quieter and cooler than my old H100i V2 AIO and keeps my Ryzen 5600X to circa 40 degrees C at idle (your mileage may vary) and at about 70 degrees maximum when CPU is overclocked and under extreme loads. Cooler remains quiet even then. iCue software is used to control this cooler’s pump and fan speeds, the RGB is customisable including turning it off completely if you don’t need/want it and there is a zero fan option for the fans which means you can build an extremely quiet system with this cooler. I’ve been using the cooler for over a month now with no issue so happy to recommend
Ive been a happy user of an H80i system so was looking forward to this for my new system.
After a bit of confusion with the back CPU bracket (I didnt realise the ‘holes’ slide up and down), I fitted to an S1200 motherboard.
Will monitor over time and update with performance.
Install pretty easy, must flow instructions, looks great, quite running, great controls with icue software, great value.
Well despite the first pump being bricked, the second one is fine. It does a good job of keeping the 11700k running cool, it’s a bit loud but there are different profiles to choose from, mine are on balanced.
Seems ok so far, a bit gurgly at first. I can only compare it to my EK waterloop. Temps at idle are the same as the EK. Under load it’s not quite as good as the EK by 5c or so.
To be fair this is very good for what it is.
Really good, my thermals are so good now and allowed me to overclock heavily. Would definitely recommend, as long as you mainly use headphones as pump sound is kind of noticeable in certain situations. Installation is really easy and self explanatory, and only took like 30 minutes max. I used an extra set of two rgb 140mm fans to create a push/pull. iCue is really easy to use as well and sync with other Corsair products.
Great AIO water cooler with tasteful and minimal RGB which is fully customisable through Corsairs iCUE software.
I strongly recommend using the iCUE software to change the fan settings to either “quite” or manually tuning them yourself through the BIOS. By default these spin way to high RPM. Way too loud.
I am using the Corsair iCUE H100i PRO XT RGB Liquid CPU Cooler to cool my Ryzen 3900X 12 core processor which I have only Auto Overclocked it using the Ryzen software. The temp sits at around 39-42 Degrees idle and while playing Resident Evil Village it raises to around 70-75 Degrees and the fans on the Corsair ramp up a little rpm but not enough to annoy you sound wise. Thou I only have an RTX 2060 and the fans on the GPU drown out every other sound on my computer.
Anyone got a spare 3000 series RTX as Resident evil will kick arse with Ray tracing on as my card struggles.
Definitely buy the Corsair as our gamers like our cosmetic look but cooling is the factor we all buy.
I have used it for over 3 months now and the noise level has never bothered me, although you will need to download icue software to set a quieter profile if you need to as the default ML fans tend to be quite loud when sped up. Would recommend looking up a tuning tutorial. Overall wonderful product!
wow….this is a thing of beauty for any pc enthusiast, easy to install, high TDP, runs almost silent even when cpu mining!!
Oh yeah and it has fully addressable RGB on the cpu block…grab it geeks!
Installed this in my system about 1 week ago. It keeps temps stable on my AMD Ryzen 5 3600 and RPM’s can be controlled easily on Corsairs iCUE software (including RGB). I have mine top mounted with fans exhausting and get decent temps. I haven’t seen CPU go above 70C in benchmarking tests or gaming. The fans provided are fine, although I would look to upgrade them in the future.
The reason for 4* is that I can hear significant humming from the AIO pump, and it can be heard over all the fans (2x 140mm fans provided with AIO, plus 4x 140mm noctua fans) in my case. I know it is the pump because the noise still persists when all fans are set to 0RPM. It isn’t an unhealthy sounding hum, or particularly annoying, and certainly not like trapped air from an improperly mounted radiator, or coil whine. However, since my radiator is top mounted and I have taken off the pump to give it a good shake, it isn’t likely to be trapped air, imo.
I would still recommend the AIO though, performs very well but whilst the pump hum isn’t particularly annoying, it is there.

Great AIO cooler, keeps 5900x at good temps. Only thing to note is that you should pre screw holes on the rad before actual install because Corsair seem to make the screw holes very small so can be finicky if you try and screw screws into the tiny holes during install.
so having no idea what i was doing i tryed to install this it was easyish but a bit fiddley watch youtube videos if you need help with it but deffo worth the buy had a cpu wraith spire cooler fan was hitting at temps of 60 now sitting at a cool steady 26
Me careful when mounting this on an AMD AM4, as you tighten the screws on the socket, the retainer bracket can crunch through the rubbish AM4 plastic clips. Otherwise awesome.
Was 10 degrees lower idle on my old 4390k from an old H60 (140mm rad/fan) and much cooler under load too. Highly recommended.
Pros:
Easy to control for RGB and fan curves via iCUE.
Excellent cooling
Intel 2011 socket attachment great/easy to install
Cons:
Few too many cables come out of block and hard make look tidy/cable manage
Uses another internal USB header (my HX1000i was using my last free one).
AM4 socket attached terrible and fiddly to install – I think this is AMD issue though – AM4 attachment terrible.
Great aio cooler, pump head has rgb but fans don’t (I knew that). Watched a video on YouTube and installed it in 15 mins keeping my i7 9700k cool at 25c idle 37 in game , great cooler from Corsair.
Replaced stock wraith cooler on my ryzen 3600, now idles at 29c and max temp on load is 60c. Easy to install, a bit louder when fans are fully spinning but does not bother me. RGB lighting, cabling and software are flawless.
I had limited space in my Corsair carbide case.
Always make sure you have room before purchasing. Really important.
It’s really easy to install.
Plenty of instructions.
And vids on YouTube.
I did notice on first boot up.
That the pump and fan’s, where at extreme mode.
After installing icue software.
I had no idea how to turn or change the speed.
At first glance.
I thought, I had plugged the aio fan wire in the wrong header.
You need CPU fan header. Instead of Aio pump fan header.
Which is common mastake.
This will cause fan error on boot up.
Won’t load in to windows 10.
So don’t bother.
It’s CPU header that you need to use.
Once in icue software.
Scroll to Corsair aio.
Then you will see quiet, balenced, Extreme.
What you need to do is click on each one separately to change them,To quite.
It’s bad design.
One click for all would have been perfect.
Now your entire system will silent and blissful.
I ran furmark and cpuz, heaven . To stress my system.And test there is good contact with CPU. Even pre applied thermal paste is good.
Happy to say . My I7 8700k OC 5.0ghz.
Idle 30c
During gaming or heavy load 50c.tops.
Super happy.
RGB is just right. Looks great.
The fans really are silent.
Compared to corsair rgb one’s.
I really recommend this cooler to anyone who is thinking of upgrading from massive air cooler to Aio water cooling.
My pc system also looks more spacious inside.
Compared to before.
Thanks Amazon again.
The RGB is 10/10, very big and very bright.
The ML120 fans are audible at 40% with a very distinctive maglev sound. It’s a 2400 rpm fan so I can’t really fault them, the default profile is very noisy. I set the custom curve to 20-30% which is like 600 rpm and they became silent, there’s no difference in temperature.
The new gen of H100i seems to have a much thinner tubing which gives it more flexibility. Somehow it has better cooling than my old H100i with thick tubing.
Bought this as a replacement for a failed H100i V2 cooler. Found it fairly easy to assemble and to install – just make sure you use the right height of base pins for your motherboard (so that there is good contact between the cooler unit and the CPU), establish where all the necessary CPU fan and USB headers on the motherboard are, and ensure you have a SATA cable to hand (to provide power) before you begin. You don’t have to worry about additional thermal paste because the unit comes with some pre-applied which seems to work fine. Final install looks great, and works like a treat – CPU temp was 90 degrees celsius, now it is just 30 or so.
keeping my cpu 3700x at under 66c with fans max 1360rpm amazing the pump nice and quite before installing i flick the radiator around to make shore if there’s air inside it moved after easy install i ended up changing the fans to pro as they look nicer and feel more premium shame they don’t included them but all in all very happy better then nzxt z63 for performance at lower rpm
I replaced an NZXT Kraken x62 with this unit due to the pump noise. This one runs silent and comes with decent software to control lighting fan/pump speed.
I cannot speak for the fans that come with this model as I am using Noctua quiet fans.
I got this cooler to go on my i9 10900k, I enables XMP in BIOS which put MCE on, it was easy to install following the manual and YouTube videos.
The temps are pure amazing. Full load at 1440p it’s not past 40c for me. So that I am very happy with.
My only issue is but this might be the way I’ve wired it all… it’s killed my lights on my fans and the fans on the cooler do not work either… but the fans are all on so how can the lights not work… something is a weird here but I’m not touching it because I do not care about RGB much and it’s very cold when gaming so I am happy with it.
great stuff still using a previous version of this .but just fancied updating…. it’s a cracker and easy to install too
and I’m in my seventies so if I can do it so can you
I had a custom water cool in my system for years, went with mid tower case as a replacement for my TT Level 10 and choose Corsair aio solutions for cooling, very happy with it. Performance is identical or even better than custom solution in my case. It is running silently and looks beautiful, I used couple of my LL fans with it.
[Edit]
Ok I have sensitive ears and work in quiet room. Pump makes humming noise in quiet profile improves with balanced profile and it is silent in extreme. I just run in extreme profile as my CPU is overclocked.
Excellent quality cooler very easy am4 install just using stock board mount Intel is a little more work by the looks , am4 just two ring hooks with thumb screws just clip on and tighten up done ,, I switched out the fans for uphear rgb fans as had couple spare was cheaper than buying the rgb fan version, if like me you incounter the rgb pump not lighting up even though all connection are connected as in the manual you will find its down to the sata cable that connects to the sata link for the light for some reason it needs the 5 pin/cable prob for the 5v if like me my modular psu has 2 sets of sata leads one with all sata and one with a 4 pin molex as well as sata and I had it plugged into the one with the molex counting the cables on the lead sure enough it had 4 strands and the one with just sata had indeed got 5 strands of cable swapped them and boom the pump head lights up so something to look out for incase you have same issue also you can’t use adapter extension via molex to sata as well , icute software is excellent loads of rgb light configurations and temp monitoring and fan speed profiles , all in all a very good cpu cooler running my Ryzen 7 3700X idal 24.9c , its definitely worth spending the extra 40/50 for quality over say the cheap Golden field or one that’s likely to leak and ruin your system , pump is fairly quiet as well little noise but not distracting at least you know its running lol buy one you won’t regret i
First time with an AIO I was very impressed. Brilliant cooling for my old but high temperature lGA 1366 processor and Corsair has the best RGB software on the market. Very impressive.
Before I bought this Cpu Cooler from corsair I was using a cooler from Noctua which cost around 70 pounds. so with this cooler from noctua I had these socket temperatures between 35 and 45 degrees celcius in idle. core temperature in test bench was 100 degrees Celsius then dropped between 45 and 50 or 60 degrees. With this cooler from Corsair socket temperature in idle gets around 30 degrees celcius and cpu core between 37 and 45 degrees. in the test bench the temperature of cores reaches between 60 and 70 degrees Celsius and the socket temperature reaches 55 degrees Celsius at most. so in my opinion this cooler from corsair is worth the money and does its job so well that I can’t believe it. i use a i7 9700k with a Msi motherboard z390 pro gaming carbon 32 gb memory and a graphics card 2060 geforce rtx evo 8Gb
I’ve had different versions of this cooler over the years and been happy with every one. Super easy to install on both intel and AMD boards. If you’re building a new PC I would highly recommend connecting everything else up before screwing this bad boy on as it’s a pain in the ass to remove and put back on again.
I currently have a Ryzen 9 3900X. It idles between 30-50 degrees; idle spikes are normal for this processor. While gaming I noticed it jump to 68 degrees once and so far this is the highest temperature I have seen. It’s usually around the 60-62 mark. So far I’ve played Apex, Valorant, CS:GO and WoW, on a 1080p monitor, with max settings (I have a 2070 super). Also I’ve had this for about 3 weeks and the weather has been very warm.
Replaced an old 100i V2 on which the pump failed when swapping cases and the results are great.
Running a core i7 9700k @4.2ghz and idle temps are 28 degrees while under full load rendering video files temps have not gone higher than 40.
Only issue I had was the screws were quite stiff to tighten and had to screw them in and out a few times before installation.
