CORSAIR iCUE H170i ELITE LCD Display Liquid CPU Cooler-Custom IPS LCD Screen-48 Dynamic RGB LEDs-140mm Fans -420mm Radiator-COMMANDER CORE Smart Lighting Controller

Corsair iCUE H150i Elite LCD XT – Refrigeración de Alto Rendimiento con Estilo PersonalizableEl Corsair iCUE H150i Elite LCD XT es uno de los sistemas de refrigeración líquida más avanzados de Corsair, diseñado para quienes buscan máximo rendimiento térmico, personalización y estética premium. Con un radiador de 360mm y una pantalla LCD personalizable, este cooler promete mantener tu CPU fría mientras le da un toque único a tu setup.🔹 Diseño y ConstrucciónUno de los puntos más atractivos de este modelo es su pantalla LCD integrada en la bomba, que permite mostrar GIFs, estadísticas del sistema o efectos personalizados a través del software iCUE. El diseño es elegante y los materiales de construcción son de alta calidad, con un radiador bien construido y tubos reforzados que garantizan durabilidad.🔹 Rendimiento de RefrigeraciónGracias a su radiador de 360mm y los tres ventiladores Corsair AF RGB Elite de 120mm, el H150i Elite LCD XT ofrece excelente disipación térmica, ideal para procesadores de gama alta como los Intel Core i9 y AMD Ryzen 9.En pruebas de estrés, este AIO mantiene temperaturas bajas incluso con cargas pesadas, permitiendo overclocking sin preocupaciones. Además, los ventiladores con tecnología AirGuide optimizan el flujo de aire para una mejor refrigeración.🔹 Software y PersonalizaciónEl cooler se gestiona mediante el software Corsair iCUE, que ofrece control total sobre:✅ Velocidad de la bomba y los ventiladores.✅ Efectos de iluminación RGB.✅ Monitorización de temperatura y rendimiento.✅ Personalización de la pantalla LCD con imágenes, GIFs o datos del sistema.🔹 Nivel de RuidoA pesar de su potencia, el Corsair H150i Elite LCD XT es sorprendentemente silencioso. En reposo, los ventiladores casi no se escuchan, y bajo carga máxima, el ruido es mínimo en comparación con otros AIO de alto rendimiento.

This got the full five stars save installation. That depends on your computer case, space, orientation, processor and experience. Existing systems, you're more than likely pulling out your motherboard. That said, Corsair provides you more than enough hardware for installation. Intel LGA 1700 hardware comes standard, as does older Intel, AMD and Thread Ripper. Corsair even includes the hardware in the box do do a push/pull radiator setup (which I did). So no trips to the hardware store looking for extra screws etc.Required connections: One pin (either pump or cpu fan) on motherboard used as a 'tach' wire to show the motherboard there is a cooler installed. On the motherboard USB connection (requires two but cooler comes with a USB splitter cable meaning you need only occupy one USB motherboard connection. Finally a SATA power connector, all three of which connections are present in most all even semi-modern computers.The Pump and three fans are run by an included commander module which can operate RGB and RPMs of up to six fans. Three fans are included with the kit for the radiator. These are magnetic levitation fans, meaning no bearings. This means no bearings, less noise, better RPM slew and quieter. IE the fan is 100 percent indepenant from the fan chassis. Corsair's free software ICUE is a must to control the RGB and the screen on the waterblock.The screen is very clear, supports .gif(s) and .jpeg(s). I have mine set to monitor CPU and GPU temp but all of this is easily changed should you like to set up lighting/performance profiles in the software.NOTE: The software seems a bit resource heavy and is a little tricky for beginners, but you're not going to blow anything up. Running the ICUE software is not required for this pump and fans to throttle/operate (as the motherboard can control them) but HIGLY recommended. I'd call it a MUST. If not, you're just wasting money. I include that because in the event the software fails, or something else goes wrong, the cooler will still function properly.NOTE: I found cable length for all connections to be more than long enough for a nice clean look in what I'd call a large mid-tower case (Corsair 5000D).Thermal paste is included pre-applied on the water block, and my previous experiences with Corsair's factory paste are good. This stuff I rubbed off and used Thermal Grizzly instead. Not a required step, but some of the best compound out there.So to the primary point, HOW WELL DOES IT COOL? Well it's not the best out there, but HARDLY the worst. It's in the bounds of a top tier cooler with only a few being better, and those that are, are not by much (a degree or 2) and around the same price with far less features.Results may vary (everyone's case cooling is different), but with an overclocked Intel I7, 13700k I am running near ambient room temperature at idle (27-30C) and under Prime 95 (pretty much the hardest stress test you can give a CPU around 86C after 15-20 minutes. Those temperatures, to keep it simple, are VERY good temperatures to see on a chip that is know to run on the hotter side of things even without an overclock.It's a quiet cooler with a lot of features, and easy to install, again depending on your case and experience. If you do not have experience building computers I would NOT recommend trying to install this yourself, but then, I'd say the same for any other cooler. Have someone that knows what they're doing help you, better yet help and teach you.

Where do I even begin...Screen/screen connection failure within a few months, screen is now fuzzy and jittering non-stop. I tried unplugging everything in the chain including the commander and all the fans/USB connections. Screen still jittering and eventually showing an error. If your connectors are so poorly designed that someone blowing on them and plugging them in with force and intention isn't enough to ensure a stable connection, you designed bad connectors. I seriously no matter how hard and careful I plug it in, cannot fix this issue. And yes, I tried updating both firmwares, and force re-installing both firmwares.Also, who's brilliant idea was it to make the pump a magnetic disconnect? Like for the people who constantly disconnect and reconnect their pump all day? Like hey guys you know the super important connection that should never break, lets make it super easy and convenient to break that connection... Genius...When a company is making such basic errors it should be a huge red flag that they aren't actually good at what they do.Also, this can't cool a 14900k so buyer be ware. I know most coolers can't, but this is solidly in the "I can't handle that chip" territory. Even with a contact frame and multiple rounds of applying thermal paster differently and tightening to different torques it always runs about the same, aka thermal throttling at about 5.6 GHZ.
