Just bought this AIO and they made some changes to it. I think they listened to Jay's critique. Changes they made: They sleeved the CPU fan cable so it looks stronger. (still got the tiny wire inside) Made the sleeve of the other cables better fitting. Changed the hologram stickers to plain black ones with the Corsair logo. There is also no more hot glue used to keep the fan cable in it's place. The thermal paste are multiple triangle shaped with little spacing.(Personally i'm not a fan of this so i'll be changing it with thermal paste from Der8auer)
i was so confused why it didn't pop up in icue, you helped me figure out that hurdur there is specific headers for it, like fan3 is not where you put them... Also just got to say jay your are a godsend for someone who likes to figure things out and misses an obvious mistake. luckily the fans are a ok!
I think for benchmarking purposes, it's actually ideal to use a test bench because it gives you the best possible scenario with whatever your testing in terms of thermals. Everything else will scale down because it's an open-air test bed. The moment you start putting it into case, the variances in case design come into play and skew results, point and at that point you're not just testing the cooler, but also case performance as well.
I personally think that at least on occasion some testing of cooling solutions should be done in cases, specifically within a few different cases that are high, moderate and low air-flow, as a way to make sure that certain cooling designs are not significantly diminished when put into a case, despite being similar or better than other cooling solutions when tested on an open-air test bench. Even just a single video showing that the results are transferrable, if they are, as Jay seems to be implying (for example testing a few different cooling solutions on equivalent hardware in multiple different cases and the test bench, and graphing each of the solutions results to show whether the best open-air cooling solution remains so in every case or not - and whether the lead is maintained, diminished, or improved), would be a great video to see and could be pointed to for anyone complaining about it in the future.
Jay makes sure to point out that the fans have special frames to direct the air through the radiator more efficiently then proceeds to mount the fans in a way that won't use that feature 🤣
Yep...and to add to it, if they were mounted in a way that used that feature , it would also hide those 1990's hologram stickers that Jay loves so much.

-- Well Jayz, I have to hand it to you. Off topic, but I checked out 'Fan Control' and got a RTX 3060 Ti from idle at 41C down to 28C with 875 avg. fan RPM. From 81-84C under load to capping at 68C.

I really really like my thermaltake core P3. You would think it gets dusty but I've had it for more than two years now and never dusted it once. Something about the fans of the radiator and the video card keep that dust in the air moving right out of the case because there's no sides so it never settles. Strange phenomenon but awesome, I was expecting to have to dust it all the time.
3:34 - "Now when I put this mother... board... back down" rofl Love it. My wife just got the H150i Elite Capellix (non-LCD) and I was surprised how cool it ran compared to her cooler master ML360R. It was like a 7-10 C difference. That LCD is a HUGE premium, though. I don't think it's worth it for the LCD alone.
Yes and no. Putting stuff into a real case will have a meaningful effect on perceived loudness as cpu and gpu coolers noise will get dampened. But you also have some moronic review sites that test 360 aio:s with a case like Be Quiet 801 and place the rad against the closed roof that has small vents for 120 fan at the back of the case. "Barely better than a d14". I bet next they tape the d14 shut from all sides and say its worse than a stock cooler.
I was surprised by the price of this CPU cooler as I has been expecting more like $250, but it costs $540 AUD in Australia. Bloody expensive, especially considering the highlighted issues. I personally don't care about the gifs but I do like the temperature and power use options.
The LCD screen is obviously cool. I like all that LCD and LED stuff. Flash is fun! Corsair is making a conversion kit that replaces the pump cover very easily. Probably would take about 5 minutes. The problem is right now like so many things try finding one for sale somewhere. I wonder if it will display temp in Fahrenheit?
At this point my whole Rig is gonna be Corsair, I have had terrible experiences with Nzxt & AuraSync, Icue is the only one that hasn't given me some problem.
I bought one of these for a new system build. The pump and comander core died in a few days. Returned it and replaced it with no problems, so so good with the new one. Anyone else have one die in the first few days? ...also... the fans have been upgraded since this was uploaded.
Obviously Linus has a 12th gen CPU too lmao. All the big tech TH-camrs do. They all have to do their testing ahead of time in order to release their review video the day the embargo lifts. How do you think every time a new product launches every channel has a review video uploaded the same morning within minutes lol?
Do you have any noise issues coming from the fans? I've seen some complaints that the fans make a weird noise, kinda like a piece of paper stuck between the fins. Asking because I'm thinking of getting 4 x 140's elite fans for the rest of my case
Your case mod just gave your more respect then anything you have ever done, coming from a person that has watched a TON of your videos. That case mod = Function > Form and I give you a literal clap good sir!
My favorite thing from this entire video. Is I KNOW Jay has box openers probably 10 + pairs. Still uses Tin Snips "While I gently open this up". Also circular hologram anything reminds me of Pogz.
Just a heads up for people looking to order this or the other variants, mine is the h150, i have no compaints on the cooler performance but the hoses are not very long, in my meshify 2 i chose to mount this at the front of the case and the hoses had to be at the top, they were not longer enough to be at the bottom, luckily the rad is higher than the cpu so its ok but not optimal, just be aware of this if u insist on having the hoses feed from the bottom of the rad 👍
That must be the video I liked the least from GN. It's like they intentionally picked a bad combination of parts and then complained about how parts don't make sense together. You can put together a 3060ti build on redux for $1500 and they ordered 1660 for almost $1400. Of course it's a terrible value
@@philistine3260 Redux actually changed their Good build and now made them start with a GTX 1660 and an air cooler (before it was GTX 1650 and an AiO) the day after GN published that video so it looks more bang for the buck now. The main problem with Redux is that while you can customize some parts, you can't customize ALL of them (and you still can't even up to now) so you get some case scenarios where you're stuck with overkill parts like an expensive AiO on a 10400F when a cheaper air cooler would suffice.
The new Corsair H115i Capellix AIO’s look insanely good. I’m not sure about thermal performance but they seem to push good air according to the specs (the 280 version does 97 CFM and 3.0mm H20 pressure). I’ll probably get this or a Lian Li Galahad
Im so glad i got my Fractal Design Celsius S36 (360 rad) for $120, 3 years ago and never been happier, overclocked my i7-8700k to 5,1ghz with liquid metal delid, never seen the cpu get over 55c in long gaming sessions. Seeing these AIO prices today from everyone is mind blowing to me, kinda feel bad for the people that pay these amounts for that kind of cooling performance.
I love the minimalist AL120's from Lian Li because you can daisy chain, so less wires, and the things are just SOLID build quality. Only downside is shipping takes forever like most stuff right now.
For anyone who isn’t aware, Corsair sells the h115 Platinum for $70 (280mm) on Amazon referbished. Comes with warranty (it’s only a two year old cooler so at least 3+ years left on ‘em.
Just recieved my H150i elite LCD (Dec 2022) and the hot glue is still there but much less on mine and it's black glue that blends decently with the frame.
I think a black blob would had not made it so obvious, but I do agree with your view Jayz. If I'd spent that much on this cooler I'd be a bit pissed to see the crappy quality of the fans. Those the LCD on the pump does make it worth it! Love those GIF. And yes it would be awesome if we could sent specific GIFs on different temps!
jaytober has been one of the best things to happen to youtube I've just built a new ryzen system (after being exclusively intel after my K6-2 bit the dust) and jay just suddenly ended up in my recommendations, enjoying these videos a lot.
lol redux is for gamer who want high framerates without breaking the bank? literally the exact opposite. first you did that dirty samsung G9 ad and now this? Jay do you do any research before you advertise a product or care about what you promote to your fans at all?
@Casual Scum i buyed a lenovo legion for 1,3k €. It has a 3070( 115-130watts) and a ryzen 5600h. The Screen is a 165hz ips hdr panel. It outperforms my 3600x+3060.
If anyone Is running an AIO, run your pump at full tilt. The pump motor is designed to run at that rpm and it keeps the heat from ruining the pump, which is a big killer of pumps on the block design. Also, as a gigabyte 280 LCD AIO owner, the screen on it is also super good and its a little cheaper and a great AIO with awesome fans. They're fluid bearing and both of mine have leaked some, but they look rad so there's that lol
obviously... but that doesn't matter? you're paying a premium for hot glue globs. Who tf wants to pay that much and be forced to orient their fans a certain way to avoid showing that. if you're paying that much for an aio you should be able to set up your fans however you want without them showing hot glue dude. that's the point.
Some people prefer to setup their intakes as pull, especially if the rad is side mounted, like in a lian li case. So every time they looked in, hot glue blob.
@@erikhendrickson59 Oh i get it, one of my builds is a complete hard line O11 Dynamix XL with bottom fans on rad as intake. Id see them there if I had those fans. But. this is an AIO. mounting in any other orientation than front, or top would be bad for pump, so I don't see that being as much of an issue. Perhaps if these fans were sold separately, then yes.
13:20 That's me. I had to take off my cooler to put in more RAM. I'm lucky I was using low profile sticks. Big air cooler caused problems, but my CPU is happy and healthy!
I agree that the hot glue blobs were a last-minute decision by QC because the tabs aren't there. Hell, they are there on my $5 Arctic fans. But the cheap plastic housing is something completely different. Unless we find out later that it's some sort of unbreakable hybrid kevlar polymer.
What matters is that your testing methods are consistent. In a case, out of a case. Doesn't matter. Just the same way any time you're comparing things like one cooler vs. another.
Agree, these computer hardware videos are really becomming pointles. People cant buy anything anymore with prices on the market. It comes down to, should i watch netflix or some videos of 3080.
@@svezanovac2 I definitely understand your frustration. Basically the only way to actually get your hands on a 30 series card these days is to buy a pre-built which can be easily over $3,000.
I would mod the fans myself, use a small dab of black epoxy, mix the color to match the black plastic. Get rid of the hot glue and hide the wires all in one swoop... 👍
That AIO is just a typical Aluminum rad Asetek unit with Corsair fans and a LCD that does nothing to help cooling but does make it expensive. Not worth $290.
Jay sounds tired. I do the same sighs after a few sentences just because I'm so exhausted. This years Jay's 30 days must've been tiring. Great content either way!
I have a white one with my all white build, love it. I used the LL120 fans I already had. Probably not as efficient, but they work, and it looks better. Also the Commander Core replaces two devices my previous cooler and fans used (I have 6 LL120s). Also less wires going to the new cooler, alot less messy looking.
@@lacucaracha111111 Sharp edges are preferable to metal filings from the dremel potentially short circuiting the PC. Jay did the right thing. He would have had to take the rig apart, use the dremel on it away from the PC components and then put it back together and he made a point of mentioning he was too lazy to change the AIO on the rig due to how much work it was to disassemble/reassemble all the time, hence the quick and dirty tin snips and hammer fix with no danger of shorting anything and no need to dis/reassemble.
@@jhfgjtjutyiuod Yeah but it will bite him in the ass.....hand later and it will do so over and over and over, until he dremels or files the sharp edges away that are bent down right where the wires are
Was spec’ing a white build. Discovered the H170i was not available in white. Now it’s a black build. Glad I switched it up. Decided to go with liquid cooled ROG Strix RTX GPU too. And ROG Maximus Extreme z690. Very black.
Anybody else notice the time interval on corsair RGB settings is never consistent? I set my lights to 2.2 second intervals and often times it's faster or slower. I know this is a very specific situation just curious if anybody else is as particular with their RGB settings as I am.
I'm too lazy but i know sometimes the interval is the entire thing and you have to manually set the effect start up and exit yourself for everything to match
An LCD on an AIO is what I want, not in my current budget though. My bank account recovered really well from me tossing eleven hundred into my build last December, but this past July I had an oak tree get split by lightning, and it cost me two grand to have it cleaned up. People saying the open air test bench isn't real world are wrong, I still haven't added fans to my case either, and since there isn't airflow, I haven't put the side panels on yet. Been running an open air computer for nearly a year.
I think the back of the fan helps with sound. all those counter rotated supports help keep the fan blades from making a chopping sound... I think... I think Major Hardware explained it.
I HAVE H150 CAPILLAX ON 5950x which i have tuned using PBO Curve amd it boosts around 5.2Ghz. Anyways, I'm happy corsair released the LCD upgrade kit for capillax customers.. Will be ordering as soon as it gets released in my country as the cooler has been performing phenomenally..
Hadn't built a PC in a while. But built a new 12th generation core i7 alder lake PC. Thank you for having such a good educational site. Because several things have changed since I built my last PC which was an ivy bridge PC. The M2 memory as well as the new way to load the operating systems were freaking me out. But after watching you primarily and some others I felt comfortable completing the job. The system is working flawlessly, even though I can't afford a new graphics card to put into it. And I hate cannibalizing my ivybridge system which has a 1660 graphics card. Even with the integrated graphics on the new core i7 processor and board, I am actually able to play flight simulator 2020. But clearly cannot push it as hard as I would if I put the 1660 card into the machine..
Things i have learned durinng 31 days of Jaytober: 1) You can never have too much Jay 2) You have the energy of a 9 year old 3) I miss the iFixit commercials XD (Please do another one soon :D)
It's sad that they haven't remedied that bird's-nest of cabling on these Aio's yet like Fractal did. And like Jay said: for the price of that Aio, you'd figured they would make it a more quality component.
The LCD screen can be bought separately for £89.99 in the UK when it becomes available, Novemberish? and is easy enough to change from the LED to the LCD screen. I bought the 360 Elite Capillex back in May for £170 and the ML fans where better looking and better manufactured.
I do like Corsair products but I’m not an AIO guy, that distro plate they sent you was cool until I saw the price tag but the camo idea is awesome making it look like fans.
Awesome video! Also made me realize despite checking for iCUE updates and it saying I'm using latest version, that I was running an out of date version of the software, lol
I'm not sure if this has been commented on (I skimmed and could not see it) but if you mount it as an intake at the front of your case the hot glue will be up against the radiator and you would not see it.

Yes and no. Putting stuff into a real case will have a meaningful effect on perceived loudness as cpu and gpu coolers noise will get dampened.
But you also have some moronic review sites that test 360 aio:s with a case like Be Quiet 801 and place the rad against the closed roof that has small vents for 120 fan at the back of the case. "Barely better than a d14". I bet next they tape the d14 shut from all sides and say its worse than a stock cooler.
I come one year from the future to say that my recently purchased h150i LCD fans are still hot glued
I was surprised by the price of this CPU cooler as I has been expecting more like $250, but it costs $540 AUD in Australia. Bloody expensive, especially considering the highlighted issues. I personally don't care about the gifs but I do like the temperature and power use options.
Isn't everything more expensive for those of you down under?
The LCD screen is obviously cool. I like all that LCD and LED stuff. Flash is fun! Corsair is making a conversion kit that replaces the pump cover very easily. Probably would take about 5 minutes. The problem is right now like so many things try finding one for sale somewhere. I wonder if it will display temp in Fahrenheit?
you can switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit
@@kriptix4384 why would you ever want it to display Fahrenheit (coming from an American)
At this point my whole Rig is gonna be Corsair, I have had terrible experiences with Nzxt & AuraSync, Icue is the only one that hasn't given me some problem.
It’s worth it man
Aurasync doesn't even detect the rgb built into my Asus motherboard lol. Some of the most worthless software I've ever used
I'm leaning towards icue.

I bought one of these for a new system build. The pump and comander core died in a few days. Returned it and replaced it with no problems, so so good with the new one. Anyone else have one die in the first few days? ...also... the fans have been upgraded since this was uploaded.
Linus: Makes a video on DDR5
Jay: Brags he has a 12 GEN intel CPU
Coincedence i dont think so.
Obviously Linus has a 12th gen CPU too lmao. All the big tech TH-camrs do. They all have to do their testing ahead of time in order to release their review video the day the embargo lifts. How do you think every time a new product launches every channel has a review video uploaded the same morning within minutes lol?
Just got this for my system. Super great. Runs quiet af and looks amazing with either the stats on screen or a gif. Great purchase!!!
Do you have any noise issues coming from the fans? I've seen some complaints that the fans make a weird noise, kinda like a piece of paper stuck between the fins. Asking because I'm thinking of getting 4 x 140's elite fans for the rest of my case
Arctic seems to be only aio manufacturer knowing how to handle wires.
@PC_Modder wait a second, arctic 2 is in push config. Takes air from the case and pushes it through the rad.
Corsair also sells a "upgrade" kit for those who already bought elite capellix AIO's and wanted the LCD screen

I love coming over to watch Jays videos and his audio is so good compared to a few other channels, I always have to turn my column down.
My favorite thing from this entire video. Is I KNOW Jay has box openers probably 10 + pairs. Still uses Tin Snips "While I gently open this up". Also circular hologram anything reminds me of Pogz.
Finally the first display AIO with good software
is it? my brother uses icue with some fans and aio, the moment he shuts down icue his temps drop 5-6c
Just a heads up for people looking to order this or the other variants, mine is the h150, i have no compaints on the cooler performance but the hoses are not very long, in my meshify 2 i chose to mount this at the front of the case and the hoses had to be at the top, they were not longer enough to be at the bottom, luckily the rad is higher than the cpu so its ok but not optimal, just be aware of this if u insist on having the hoses feed from the bottom of the rad 👍
Jay: Redux is for gamers who want high framerates without breaking the bank
Steve: Hold my beer while I lay some wisdom down on this young man.🙃
That must be the video I liked the least from GN. It's like they intentionally picked a bad combination of parts and then complained about how parts don't make sense together.
You can put together a 3060ti build on redux for $1500 and they ordered 1660 for almost $1400. Of course it's a terrible value
@@philistine3260 I guess maybe a unsuspecting buyer just maybe assume it’s an ok value between $1400 and $1500
@@philistine3260 Redux actually changed their Good build and now made them start with a GTX 1660 and an air cooler (before it was GTX 1650 and an AiO) the day after GN published that video so it looks more bang for the buck now.
The main problem with Redux is that while you can customize some parts, you can't customize ALL of them (and you still can't even up to now) so you get some case scenarios where you're stuck with overkill parts like an expensive AiO on a 10400F when a cheaper air cooler would suffice.
I appreciate that you show the negatives in your reviews of a sponsor’s product. Thank you.
The new Corsair H115i Capellix AIO’s look insanely good. I’m not sure about thermal performance but they seem to push good air according to the specs (the 280 version does 97 CFM and 3.0mm H20 pressure). I’ll probably get this or a Lian Li Galahad
Actually, the LCD XT is the improvement over the older capellecx version, and that's why it costs more.
Im so glad i got my Fractal Design Celsius S36 (360 rad) for $120, 3 years ago and never been happier, overclocked my i7-8700k to 5,1ghz with liquid metal delid, never seen the cpu get over 55c in long gaming sessions. Seeing these AIO prices today from everyone is mind blowing to me, kinda feel bad for the people that pay these amounts for that kind of cooling performance.
I love the minimalist AL120's from Lian Li because you can daisy chain, so less wires, and the things are just SOLID build quality. Only downside is shipping takes forever like most stuff right now.
Hell no, lian li are trash 🗑️
@@jacobstienecker Welp - I have 9 of them... running constantly for 14 months... zero issues so far...

@@dusk3219
Not sure yet. CPU i7-11700k arrives today and then I can finally build.
I think a black blob would had not made it so obvious, but I do agree with your view Jayz. If I'd spent that much on this cooler I'd be a bit pissed to see the crappy quality of the fans. Those the LCD on the pump does make it worth it! Love those GIF. And yes it would be awesome if we could sent specific GIFs on different temps!

@@pikamaster001 yeah , was about to say that to.
If anyone Is running an AIO, run your pump at full tilt. The pump motor is designed to run at that rpm and it keeps the heat from ruining the pump, which is a big killer of pumps on the block design. Also, as a gigabyte 280 LCD AIO owner, the screen on it is also super good and its a little cheaper and a great AIO with awesome fans. They're fluid bearing and both of mine have leaked some, but they look rad so there's that lol
Jay, if the fans were in intake mode, the fans would be facing the opposite direction and the hot glue blobs would be against the radiator.
Doesn't matter though. At this cost that's just unacceptable -- it literally looks like an engineering sample.
obviously... but that doesn't matter? you're paying a premium for hot glue globs. Who tf wants to pay that much and be forced to orient their fans a certain way to avoid showing that. if you're paying that much for an aio you should be able to set up your fans however you want without them showing hot glue dude. that's the point.
Some people prefer to setup their intakes as pull, especially if the rad is side mounted, like in a lian li case. So every time they looked in, hot glue blob.
@@apanda0077 that is a minority though, both top and front would hide the blob
@@erikhendrickson59 Oh i get it, one of my builds is a complete hard line O11 Dynamix XL with bottom fans on rad as intake. Id see them there if I had those fans.
But. this is an AIO. mounting in any other orientation than front, or top would be bad for pump, so I don't see that being as much of an issue. Perhaps if these fans were sold separately, then yes.
13:20 That's me. I had to take off my cooler to put in more RAM. I'm lucky I was using low profile sticks. Big air cooler caused problems, but my CPU is happy and healthy!
That GIF of Jay was class
I agree that the hot glue blobs were a last-minute decision by QC because the tabs aren't there. Hell, they are there on my $5 Arctic fans. But the cheap plastic housing is something completely different. Unless we find out later that it's some sort of unbreakable hybrid kevlar polymer.
What matters is that your testing methods are consistent. In a case, out of a case. Doesn't matter. Just the same way any time you're comparing things like one cooler vs. another.
Very true. It's not a variable if it's a constant.
Another benefit of an open air test bench, there is space for a small first aid kit underneath for when you cut your hand open changing cooler mounts

I would mod the fans myself, use a small dab of black epoxy, mix the color to match the black plastic. Get rid of the hot glue and hide the wires all in one swoop... 👍
Exactly! ... easy and quick
That AIO is just a typical Aluminum rad Asetek unit with Corsair fans and a LCD that does nothing to help cooling but does make it expensive. Not worth $290.
Just like the other AIOs with lcd screens

Anybody else notice the time interval on corsair RGB settings is never consistent? I set my lights to 2.2 second intervals and often times it's faster or slower. I know this is a very specific situation just curious if anybody else is as particular with their RGB settings as I am.
I'm too lazy but i know sometimes the interval is the entire thing and you have to manually set the effect start up and exit yourself for everything to match
Also things like light travel speed make an effect too
Jaya, thanks for showing this off. I had heard about this item within the last week.
Corsair's stuff has gradually increased in price over the last few years. They're pricing themselves away from the average customer.
Since they went public yeah I feel like they are just milking the profit margins for the investors.
An LCD on an AIO is what I want, not in my current budget though. My bank account recovered really well from me tossing eleven hundred into my build last December, but this past July I had an oak tree get split by lightning, and it cost me two grand to have it cleaned up. People saying the open air test bench isn't real world are wrong, I still haven't added fans to my case either, and since there isn't airflow, I haven't put the side panels on yet. Been running an open air computer for nearly a year.
I was actually shopping around looking for one of these for a build I'm updating, but after seeing those fans I'll spend my money on something else.
Jay for those Corsair radiators you are going to want fan gaskets between the fan and the rad for best pressure and airflow.
There seems to be a pattern. Tomorrow's upload: Putting blowy matrons on the new corsair aio!!
I think the back of the fan helps with sound. all those counter rotated supports help keep the fan blades from making a chopping sound... I think... I think Major Hardware explained it.
The overkill of metal shears as you "Gently unbox this guy". Typical JayzTwoCents.
Ok where can I find that crazy jay gif? Found the explosion one already but that crazy jay one would be great to have.

Hadn't built a PC in a while. But built a new 12th generation core i7 alder lake PC. Thank you for having such a good educational site. Because several things have changed since I built my last PC which was an ivy bridge PC. The M2 memory as well as the new way to load the operating systems were freaking me out. But after watching you primarily and some others I felt comfortable completing the job. The system is working flawlessly, even though I can't afford a new graphics card to put into it. And I hate cannibalizing my ivybridge system which has a 1660 graphics card. Even with the integrated graphics on the new core i7 processor and board, I am actually able to play flight simulator 2020. But clearly cannot push it as hard as I would if I put the 1660 card into the machine..

I've been wanting an LCD Corsair aio for a while
It's sad that they haven't remedied that bird's-nest of cabling on these Aio's yet like Fractal did. And like Jay said: for the price of that Aio, you'd figured they would make it a more quality component.
The LCD screen can be bought separately for £89.99 in the UK when it becomes available, Novemberish? and is easy enough to change from the LED to the LCD screen. I bought the 360 Elite Capillex back in May for £170 and the ML fans where better looking and better manufactured.
I do like Corsair products but I’m not an AIO guy, that distro plate they sent you was cool until I saw the price tag but the camo idea is awesome making it look like fans.
Jay just hammered it.. no grinder needed
Awesome video! Also made me realize despite checking for iCUE updates and it saying I'm using latest version, that I was running an out of date version of the software, lol
I'm not sure if this has been commented on (I skimmed and could not see it) but if you mount it as an intake at the front of your case the hot glue will be up against the radiator and you would not see it.
