Corsair’s iCUE software provides a graphical UI to allow management of all detected Corsair peripherals and components, ranging from customized color palettes and patterns, to fan curve profiles, pump management and even the device firmware update that provided us a bit of a higher pump speed on the Extreme setting. So, if all these models have the exact same pump and cooling fluid capacity/flow, well.... you get my point. ;) CORSAIR iCUE software brings your system to life with dynamic synchronized RGB lighting, customizable fan speeds to silence fans and advanced system monitoring.

Corsair Hydro 100i RGB Platinum, Hydro Series, 240 mm

Most motherboard headers are designed for 1A of power, with the liquid cooling headers usually being 2A. 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. 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. Let me go grab both coolers (including the one not available for sale in my country) and I’ll go run several hours of temperature and sound testing for an unspecified CPU and fan set.

Still in search of the perfect smartphone.While it was fairly easy with previous generations of CPUs for coolers to keep the flagship i9 processor well under TJ max (the maximum temperature a CPU can sustain without throttling) in tough workloads, this is no longer realistically possible on current generation CPUs (and the 13900K especially) without extreme cooling (or enabling power limits). Corsair utilizes a 240mm dual-pass aluminum radiator on the H100i RGB PRO XT, while airflow is provided by a pair of 2400 RPM 4-pin PWM fans rated to 75 CFM. While RGB fans have become commonplace on most AIO coolers, these features are notably absent here. Now that the unit is mounted, we will want to plug in power cables for both of the fans and the pump. The H100i has an integrated 4-fan hub which is where you will want to plug in your H100i fans. You will find two ports on top of the cooling unit, where you can plug in the included fan power adapter cables. Each adapter will support two fans, and by plugging the fans directly into the fan power adapter cable and into the cooling unit, you will be able to monitor and control the H100i fans through the Corsair Link V2 software.

H100i CPU Cooler - How-tos How to install the Hydro Series H100i CPU Cooler - How-tos

Nice to see Corsair throwing out all of us who don't rush out to replace perfectly working Corsair products.CORSAIR’s iCUE H100i RGB PRO XT offers excellent cooling, controlled noise levels, and excellent customization with both lighting and fan speeds easily managed using the iCUE software. The double-wide radiator offers approximately twice the cooling area of our Hydro Series coolers which use a 120mm or 140mm radiator. It fits virtually any case that has dual 120mm fan mounts spaced for a 240mm radiator. Advanced SP120L PWM fans I was thinking of buying a Corsair iCUE H100i RGB Pro XT, 240mm Radiator to reduce the noise on my i5-750. When I boot it's fine, I can see the device and fan speeds, a minute later the colours stop changing and I can no longer see up to date RPMs, colour in iCue is correct but not on the unit itself. If I exit iCue and start it again I no longer see the cooler, just my RAM.
