Know before you buy
A 360mm radiator requires a case with mounting support for three 120mm fans in a row. Before purchasing, check your case specifications to ensure it has enough clearance for a 397mm x 120mm x 27mm radiator assembly.
No, the cooler comes with CORSAIR XTM70 thermal paste pre-applied to the cold plate. This ensures an optimal thermal interface right out of the box, though you can replace it if you prefer a different brand.
While the cooler is designed to be managed via CORSAIR iCUE software for full customization and synchronization, the lighting will default to a standard rainbow effect if the software is not installed. To customize colors or lighting patterns, you must use the iCUE interface.
The H150i ELITE CAPELLIX XT generally operates more quietly than air coolers under heavy loads because the liquid loop moves heat away from the CPU more efficiently. This allows the fans to maintain lower RPMs while still keeping your processor temperatures stable.
Yes, this cooler includes mounting hardware for most modern Intel LGA 1700, 1200, 115x sockets, as well as AMD AM5 and AM4 platforms. Always verify your specific motherboard socket type against the official compatibility list before installation.
