The average noise levels of all coolers tested is 48.7 dBA in this test. Cosair’s h100i measures at 48 dBA in this worst case scenario, placing it right in the middle of our results. While certainly audible, this isn’t loud and is what I consider a good noise level in this scenario. In addition to testing Cinebench without power limits enforced, we’ll also be showing results when the CPU’s power consumption is limited to a more reasonable 200W. We’ll also show results at 125W for those who prefer whisper-quiet cooling, at the cost of some performance. For both of these results, we’ll show traditional delta over ambient temperature results.

Elite Capellix liquid CPU - Corsair How to: Install the iCUE Elite Capellix liquid CPU - Corsair

From there, proceed with your typical Hydro Series cooler installation (don't forget to plug in your power and USB cables). If you’ve seen one Corsair cooler, you’ve probably seen them all. The new H100i doesn’t do anything to reinvent the wheel in terms of looks. It does however feature a new pump aesthetic, which dissipates an array of LEDs for an appropriately neon look. All three new iCUE ELITE CAPELLIX coolers are equipped with a high-performance RGB pump head, split-flow copper cold plate, and ML RGB Series fans, making them the best-performing CORSAIR coolers to date. This performance is complemented by brilliant RGB lighting from ultra-bright, power-efficient CAPELLIX LEDs and an included iCUE Commander CORE Smart RGB Lighting and Fan Speed Controller. Available in radiator sizes of 240mm, 280mm, and 360mm on the H100i ELITE CAPELLIX, H115i ELITE CAPELLIX, and H150i ELITE CAPELLIX respectively, with wide compatibility with the latest Intel® and AMD CPUs, this new generation of CORSAIR liquid CPU coolers is ready to improve any system build. New CORSAIR AIOs are on the market, it’s been a long while since CORSAIR has introduced new AIO models and branding. CORSAIR AIOs started out with the original non-iCUE models and then expanded into the PRO, PRO XT, PLATINUM, RGB PLATINUM, and RGB Pro XT lineups with iCUE technology. These popular models have existed for a while now. The new CORSAIR iCUE ELITE CAPELLIX Liquid CPU Coolers offer powerful low noise cooling with a bright and vibrant new RGB design with its ML120 RGB PWM fans and will supersede the other models. This new line of AIOs was launched on September 15th, just a couple of weeks ago, and has many hardware updates.

PERFORMANCE NEVER LOOKED BETTER

All ELITE CAPELLIX XT AIOs include pre-applied CORSAIR XTM70 Extreme Performance thermal paste for maximum heat transfer from your high-end processor to the cooler coldplate.

At idle, we saw the system drop to about 30-35 degrees, and at its peak running games and video editing software, was hitting a new low of 60 during intensive sessions. While performance wasn’t directly affected, knowing that the PC is a lot cooler on the inside is a comfort, and would allow for our CPU to achieve slightly higher boosting speeds. H100i sound and noise levelsAll-in-one liquid coolers don't dissipate processor heat inside the case like traditional air coolers, but instead guide it to the edge of the case and blow it out with dedicated fans. This results in cooler components and less noise. The ELITE CAPELLIX XT is an upgrade to our most powerful CPUcooler: The increased cooling challenges posed by Raptor Lake mean that we’ve had to change some of the ways we test coolers. Some coolers were able to pass Cinebench R23 multicore testing with Intel’s 12th Gen i9-12900K when power limits were removed (although only the strongest models were able to pass that test). Most liquid coolers and all air coolers I’ve tested “failed” that test because the CPU reached TJ max in this scenario. Harness the power of iCUE with the included iCUE Commander CORE to control the fan speed and RGB lighting for the included ML RGB fans, with the potential to control additional CORSAIR RGB fans, up to a total ofsix. Make sure that the header is USB and, if the header does not have a plastic guide around it, make sure that the connector is plugged in to all the pins. https://corsair.sharepoint.com/:f:/s/MarketingCommunications/Ejq7MionQlFCrH6kG9DrafABI-lqRmyh5u4WZM5mvtX4eg?e=2H4jem

If repairing iCUE does not resolve your issue, the next step is to see if your Elite Capellix is receiving power. If the fans are spinning, the pumps are running, and the LEDs are lit up, your Elite Capellix is receiving power. For a complete list of all CORSAIR coolers, please visit: https://www.corsair.com/us/en/cpu-coolers Because coolant temperature is so strongly influenced by room/case temperature, most people are better off creating their own fan curves on the cooler. The presets are based off a 20-23C room temp. In a cold Winter room, you may wonder why the fans never change speed. On a warm Mediterranean afternoon, you may wonder why the fans are blasting from the moment you turn it on. Since the expected coolant temp change is only 5-8C depending on CPU wattage and cooler size, you need your baseline to be accurate and that also means it may move around seasonally. Ambient temperature (or specifically case internal ambient) is the lowest possible coolant temp with no additional heat from the CPU. So if the room is 28C, you can’t get your coolant any lower than that. Most people average about 4-7C over the room temp, depending on hardware and layout. We will again be using our new AIO test platformthat is capable of putting out enough heat to make even the devil sweat. We do this to test AIO liquid cooling solutions that are likely to be used with some of today’s most demanding CPUs. This is a brand new launch from CORSAIR that we are excited to dive into. CORSAIR iCUE H100i ELITE CAPELLIX OverviewTo use iCUE, you have to install the included iCUE Commander Core controller which can cause trouble for those building in more compact cases, when bundled alongside the 240mm radiator. https://corsair.sharepoint.com/:f:/s/MarketingCommunications/Eg4UDijRMVNIqyXw0QxOATwBn1vYmUy5uco3oozgwKg6jw?e=d9465E
