Used this in my first PC build and it was relatively simple to install, it was a little awkward trying to put it in by myself but that would just be my inexperience with PC building at the moment. Regardless I’ve had the PC for over a year now and had no issues at all with this product, would recommend 😀
Nzxt h7 elite and one usb port on asrock b650 pro motherboard. So make sure you get the same brand cooler and case or two use ports on motherboard. Capiche
Fitted it all, a bit of a squeeze getting it in put works perfectly, the am4 bracket is fine, only issue i had is the bolts, the teeth had a hard time going all the way in, but in the end, it was fixed and works great, thank you corsair.
High quality product from Corsair let down by flimsy wires. Worried about breaking them while installing, but once routed, they shouldn’t be messed with too much. Looks great. Performs well. I have a 9500k which stays at around 20c on idle, highest I’ve had is 53c on full load.
This clips onto the plastic mounting bracket at the sides of the AM4 socket instead of screwing into the back plate like the Wraith stock cooler. I had to order up these plastic brackets which delayed the installation by a few days. Apart from that it’s a great looking quality coole
Decided to switch to an AIO, (All In One), water cooler from an air cooler purely for aesthetic reasons. I had an Noctua NH-D15S which cooled my i7-12700K very well but it is large and makes accessing parts of the PC a little difficult, e.g. RAM and first SSD slot. They can be accessed without removing the cooler, but it is a little fiddly, but the AIO gives easy access. There are so many AIO’s on the market which makes it difficult to decide but decided on this one as I like Corsair products and they tend to have good reviews. I would have liked one in white, but only the model below this one, 100i, and the one above, 150i, come in white. I felt that the 100i would not be sufficient to cool my CPU effectively and the 150i is out of my price range. Fitting was quite straight forward but forget the provided manual as it’s next to useless. However, there are plenty of installation videos on YouTube which are much better. It doesn’t cool my CPU any better than the air cooler, but it certainly looks a lot better. Noise-wise, it’s a little worse as the pump runs at full speed all the time, but it’s not intrusive.
Unfortunately didn’t come with the AMD bracket it was meant to so I can’t Install it.
Update, got in touch with Corsair and they were happy enough to send out the bracke
As a first time PC builder it was fairly easy to install and runs really quietly. The included RGB hub works brilliantly with my other Corsair fans but most importantly it’s keeps my CPU running at extremely cool temps.
Simple and straightforward instructions for fitting and runs a lot quieter than my old h100.
Also the command pro thing that’s included is brilliant, a lot less wires and much better cable management. So far it’s not gone above 37’c (highest cpu temp from benchmarks has been 80’c but only for like a second) but I only game and the rare 3D mark bench. So idk. Anyway. It’s very good. Very simple and quie
Had to replace my old AIO cooler for the H100i straightaway the noise level was significantly reduced, even from new my old cooler was very noisy, The H100i only runs at around 40 degrees, good quality good colours.
Amazing cooler, upgraded from the 240 version as wasn’t getting adequate cooling. No seeing any temps above 60c when gaming on this cooler, does reach 89c when benchmarking but that’s to be expected with the 12900k CPU.
I bought this to work with my Corsair case which came with iCue RGB fans. It is incredibly quiet, including the pump. RGB is nice, especially on the actual pump.
The icue software was good and detected my fans before installing. After fitting the new aio cooler i cant control anything in the icue software.
Using the H150i with the i5 13600k keeps temps around 60-67c when all cores are at full load comes with the lga1700 mounting required
No faults with product at all
Mounting requires the motherboards original mount for ryzen so be aware! Took me ages to find it as I wasnt expecting it to be needed.
The ryzen bracket is not great having only 2 points to anchor so possible uneven pressure if not careful, other than that my only last gripe was the sensor wire is extremely thin and does fit snug on the 2 pins it needs so be aware may get warning that it’s not detecting.
Very easy to fit, lined up with my P500 case perfectly, time consuming to get everything in place, but worth it.
The instructions on the website along with the video were useful. Only thing to bare in mind is do not overtighten the AM4 mounting screws, I just did mine tight enough there was no movement when pressing the pump slightly to side, so I knew it wouldn’t go anywhere.
Pre applied thermal paste made it pretty quick and easy once radiator was mounted to top of the case.
I mounted the Commander Pro in place of two SSD trays to rear of the case which made it easy to tidy things up a little.
I have some Corsair periferals so I had ICue before, really good software.
And Corsair support were fantastic.
As the port that wasn’t working was on the controller for the pump / fans, I couldn’t remove it to RMA without not being able to use my PC for a week – I could have sent it back to Amazon but again would have a week of downtime.
Corsair Support organised an Advanced RMA for me and sent me out a replacement part before I had to send back the problematic part. Of course, it not working would have been ideal but some problems are bound to happen and it’s a testament to the company for how they handle these situations.
Of course I didn’t NEED to RMA this, it was just an RGB port but I’d already bought Corsair RGB fans.
I’d highly recommend any Corsair product – their support is always fantastic. Besides the excellent support, the cooler and fans are near silent.
Anyway, onto the good stuff. This pump is really, really quiet, I have upgraded from a 3700X using a stock wraith prism cooler, which was loud but did the job. It’s one of the reasons I went for the 360mm version. The thermals are impressive. Idles at around 35oc and on cinebench it showed an average of 67oc for an all core test. I’m using a 5900X so am very impressed with these thermals and leaves room for an overclock. Although for now I am just going to use the PBO feature. The lighting on the pump looks great with the pre-applied cover and links up to all my third party lighting (wallpaper engine). I’ll upload some pics soon but it really does look stunning compared to my old setup. Highly recommend!! Especially if you have a toasty chip and you don’t want a bulky air cooled solution.
This cooler was quite easy to set up, and the temps have been incredible, even under heavy load they don’t exceed 55 degrees c on my i5 12600k which is very impressive. The pump head looks amazing with the clear head and of course syncs perfectly with the iCUE software, would definitely recommend for new and experienced PC builders as it is the best for the price!
Fan noise is a bit louder than what I would expect, but they are great otherwise, so a little bit of noise is hardly worth complaining about in the long run.
If you are beginner you should read carefully your user guide to install that and taking time. If you are advanced without read the user guide you can install it.
Anyway it’s working perfectly, full colour and big effect to your cpu and pc. I highly recommend it.
Without paying attention, I’ve ordered a refurbished one so I have some dent on the radiator. Anyway I hope its a good AIO I haven’t installed it yet.
Got this one as I wanted a cooler I could fit at the top of my case, looks great and works perfectly with suitable noise levels though I believe it was missing a few screws. Luckily had some spares so it wasn’t an issue but just a warning to anyone who may not have spares to hand.
My Ryzen 9 5950x is very toasty and my air cooler struggled hard to cool it, idle temps were at 70 degrees Celsius. This AIO goes so well with it, idle temps are now at 30 degrees Celsius!!! With iCUE you can make the fans nearly silent which is a big bonus
I bought this cooler to replace a Corsair Hyper 212 in order to get the best performance out of my gaming pc. The previous cooler was quiet and this is pretty much on par. Installation was easy enough and I’d never installed a water cooler before. Performance is where this cooler shines and keeps AMD CPU for max settings, AAA games well below 70 celsius, and helps airflow within the tower.
I am happy with this product but it is not essential, more of an extra to get the best performance out of a gaming PC.
It was my first AIO installation, just two things: if you are going for a top installation, plug the power cable to the CPU in the mobo before fixing the fans to the radiator. Secondly, if AMD, make sure you put the bracket in the right way (this kept me going for hours until I found out the bracket was upside down). For the rest it s pretty easy to install.
It keeps my 5800x3d under 55 under stress and around high 30s in idle. Great performance.
It could get noisy if subject to stress but not clicking sounds but rather wind sound. Nice to see the Commander Pro in it for RGB
Really good product for the price did have 1 issue we’re I loaded my pc up and it came up with cpu fan error but all I had to do was go into bios and change the cpu fan monitoring to ignore it was good to go but all and all it a really smart thing to add to your setup and the RGB it cool looking
Mounting it to the motherboard was easy, mounting it to the case was a little bit finicky but still very easy.
Haven’t been able to push it too much as I haven’t gotten internet at the moment and can’t play anything too demanding, but temperatures have gone from 60-70 degrees Celsius down to 20-40 degrees Celsius.
Lights are looking crisp and although icue is an awkward bit of software, I haven’t had any issues yet so far.
The fans are a bit noisier than I expected but in all honesty, with my headphones on I don’t hear anything. If I set it to quiet mode the noise is basically non existent, but I typically use balanced as I don’t find the fan noise to be too distracting.
Incredibly simple to install on socket AM4 onto the cooler lugs. I purchased this because my Wraith Prism wasn’t doing that well on my Ryzen 7 2700X, when playing New World with the fan at 100% temps were hitting 76-78 degrees C. Temps are now down to around 48 degrees C when playing, and lower when CPU is idle also. As a bonus, this is with the fans at only 58%, and combined with an upgrade to my case fans, this has made my PC a LOT quieter (barely hums now). As another bonus, nice ARGB on both the fans and on the pump/block unit, with a choice of acrylic plates (black or white design, photo is the black design). As to software, iCue is very simple to use, I was already using it as I have a Corsair headset and PSU that use it.
Firstly, I’d like to point out that you should first learn how to install a cooler before you buy this. A trial run if you will, many people are complaining about the installation but it’s easy if you just follow the instructions. I got one for me and one for my boyfriend so I’ve put them on both AMD and Intel PCs, both were very easy installs. As for the cooling, it’s excellent. Big improvement from what I’ve seen on my traditional fan cooler. It has a quiet mode too for when you’d like to work quietly at night, which still works well. The fan’s zero RPM mode are also good for noise. But even the standard ‘balanced’ mode is not very noisy.
So far this aio has kept my 12700k nice and cool and installation was reasonably easy in my case phantek p500.
Screwing in the radiator and fans was more annoying than anticipated but with time was a nice fit.
My main issue with this aio was having to get the standoffs for the 12700k,which when ordered took3 weeks to arrive from corsair store . The backplate was also difficult to fit onto the motherboard(fiddly screws).
Once the standoffs arrived getting the aio pump on and mounted was nice and easy.
So overall good product but beware getting the standoffs from corsair could take some time.
This is my first foray into liquid cooling as part of a first project to create a gaming PC from components. Installation was straightforward, though it took a couple of attempts to align in the case vs the motherboard and graphics card, which was straightforward. Works well.
The only area that was a bit confusing is that my case has a set of connections for LEDs and so does the cooler. It was not very clear how to connect these optimally. Does not affect important functionality – just control of the LEDs. I am sure with some perseverance and experimentation we could get the LEDs to be in synch with the case but it is not a bg deal to me. Recommended.
I originally bought this aio for the ryzen 9 5950x but due to a overheating problem from the supplier I bought it from I had to get a replacement I havent got it yet but I can share my thoughts on my current build.
This aio cooler I managed to get it on sale. It is a really good cooler and it is very quiet. It can be a bit loud at times due to me using the ryzen 7 2700 because of the 12nm tdp so it does need a good cooler to cool it down the new 7nm chips will be better with this aio.
The icue software center is quite useful it allows me to control the rgb and the fans. Some people are saying the am4 mounting is terrible on this cooler. I wouldn’t listen to the people who are complaining about it. For me it was quite easy to mount. You are not supposed to tighten them to a point where it can’t be hooked they need to be kept loose then once hooked then tighten them.
The only downside is the screws provided are not that great so I had to use the left over motherboard screws. The screws provided were cheaply done and did not catch the top slot of my case each time they were tightened they fell through.
Other than the fans are good. Liquid cooling keeps my cpu cool and does what it says. Which is simply to cool your cpu. It can handle pretty much any processor you throw at it. And for the value of money it is fine for my needs.
[Review is based on it being used in the Corsair 680X Case]
Genuinely a good cooler, got this on a deal for 100. Comes with the Commander Core which is a solid HUB for the fans RGB and PWM control unlike the Commander Pro which is strictly PWM control (its 2021, come on just put them together we’d pay the extra)
The fans run at 2000RPM max which is really good for RGB and 140MM. Colours and Brightness are really good also!
Mounting is straight forward, only negative is getting the hooks first time on the CPU mount without smudging the paste too much in some directions you didn’t plan on.
Only annoying issue I have with it, is the results regarding temps.
I was using a H150i RGB PRO XT 360mm which is outdated and not made anymore however, it got better results. Which is odd, because it goes in the front as the intake.
The difference is 5-8C however this absolutely does not ruin the build. But it is annoying as this goes at the top which is the best AIO placement especially in a huge case with good cable tidying.
(e.g.: H150i used to never peak 80, always max at 79.5C, now I peak 85 but it never stays there as it fluctuates between 60-85C during intense workload or higher tier gameplay e.g. Vanguard but always sticks around 74-79
I was hoping for it to get the same results from my old outdated H150i, if not lower in Celsius.
My recommendation is if your case supports it, go for the 360MM or more if you’re a huge fan of lower temps.
I am using this cooler on my Ryzen 7 5800X, It is keeping it at 33 idle and 70 at full load. Which is very very impressive for this inferno of a CPU. However there are a few things that I need to complain about.
1. The commander core – Now I do not know what went through the manufacturers heads when they decided to make this product, with the fans included with this cooler being different from ones you can buy alone from corsair, it’s a silly idea.
2. The mounting system – For intel it is fine as it is going to use the traditional backplate and 4 screws method which I think to this day is the best one. But for AMD, it is a pain in the butt. I have done enough of these coolers by now to know how to fit them onto the stock AM4 mounting clips. But it is really annoying and tedious to do regardless. I wish they would just make the same type of solution as they have for the intel one.
3. iCue – Now I am pretty sure every techy knows exactly what I am about to say. What the hell is up with this software? Stock fan curves are just silly at this point, my PC sounded like it was about to take off with the amount that the fans had been ramped by iCue, but not only was the PC idling, it was not even hot. The cpu was at 40 degrees.
Overall it is a good cooler and does its job well. But there are little things that make the setup quite annoying and tedious, but as soon as you work through those issues it is brilliant, the performance is great and the RGB really is beautiful on this one. But it’s a shame that it’s such a challenge to get it running at its full potential
Ignore reviews about amd issues i had zero issues installing for my ryzen and amd motherboard. If you know what to do its easy. Best performance and its a good price.
My only downside was im paying 120 for this aio and the long screws that attach the radioator and fans together were not even the right ones. They were far to long and was so much gap that the radiator kept dropping. Instead i had to use the ones that came with the pc case and motherboard but all ok now. Amazing performance and just looks clean as hell. Also fan noise is actually really quiet if you have fans on balanced and pump on quiet. Can barly hear the pc at all. So again ignore noise complaints they are either having fan setting to high or an issue with their fans. No issues when done properly.
I trust Corsair products highly after using them for years (never really had any issues with them). This just made it better!
Once I got the idea of how to install it (since this was my first time with a cooler like this) it was so easy! Way easier than heatsinks. I will definitely go with this type of cooling from now on in future builds.
It really helps my CPU stay at cool temperatures even when playing intensive games or running many programs at once.
I also love the RGB colours and that you can adjust/change them all with the iCue app from Corsair. You can also manually change the fan speed on each fan (from Quiet, Balanced, Extreme or Zero RPM/Off)
If you’re a beginner, please ensure you still use a good quality thermal paste with liquid cooling!
(My apologies for bad cable management in the picture I have provided!)
