After browsing YT for over 45 min, this is the only video that explains the floating backplate. I couldn’t find a tutorial using the updated AMD/AM4 bracket. Thank you so much for clearing up the confusion. You’re awesome!
(I’m a first time builder) This part of the video 5:24 saved me from going crazy! I was wondering why there was such a big gap in between my motherboard and the bracket. Thanks for including these small details in your video!
Thanks man! I literally ran into the issue you mentioned where I saw the backplate was floating and thought, "I'm gonna get this whole thing assembled and realize I'm missing spacers or something." You just saved me a ton of worry! Also, boo on corsair for making it so hard to find am4 instructions! They kept linking me to an older amd bracket that didn't even come in the kit!
Dude, you saved me a TON of headache. Installed a new Corsair AIO and was getting 90 deg temps. I felt like the floating standoffs was buggy, but I was confident that wasn't the issue after I saw your video. Yours was the only video that showed the standoff mounting option vs the tension bracket. So with the knowledge that floating bracket was OK, I went back in to try to troubleshoot the mounting. Immediately I saw that only 3/4 of the thermal paste was transferred to the CPU. Apparently the standoffs have two different thread patterns, but I didn't pay attention. The more dense pattern matches the thumb screws and my issue was inverting one of the standoffs. I didn't screw it down far enough for complete contact. After your tip on pushing the backplate, it made re-installing the pump much easier and all the thumb screws went down smoothly. 40 deg at idle thanks to you.
Thank you for including the note that it is supposed to be loose when it is not cinched down yet. I'm installing mine now and was worried about that. I'm just having one standoff screw not treading through properly. hoping it lines up properly on the next go.
Thanks for the detailed walk-thru. The info about the cpu back plate gaps and how tight to make those thumbscrews helped me get this thing going. Overall a very informative video that helped me stave off disaster.
Glad to see a new video! Massive bracket support including Socket 1700 is nice. While the controller is proprietary, I do think it is set up more so for anyone that wants to do a Push/Pull with the extra 3 fan connections.
You may be right that the extra ports on the Commander Core are mainly for push/pull arrangements, but a lot of Corsair users will have Corsair fans in their cases, so it's also good for that.
Cheers!!!! Cool Video!! I Would like to as a question: Naturally You install the RGB fans on the inside so You can see the full effect of the lighting, but as they are they are sucking the warm air from inside the case and channelling it through the radiator, which should be receiving cool air. Shouldn't You reverse the mounting of the fans, and pull the outside air through the radiator? You would see the back fan structure, but the lighting effect would be there...
Thank you for demonstrating with the AM4 because I was wondering why there was freeplay with the standoffs and backplate. Like you said, everything tightened up correctly after you got the pump on the CPU.
I was up till 4 am trying to figure out what the hell I did wrong and this video may have solved it for me. My AIO pump header was what I was plugging in and also I was trying to figure out the proper use of that daisy chain and you addressed it quick. Gonna fix it later!
Omg thank you so much I was so concerned about the wiggle room. I looked at so many videos but no one explained it like you did. I am hitting that like button thank you .
You're so wholesome, im going to build my first PC soon and I really want to use this cooler. I've been doing tons of research into PC building and just want to say thanks for making things so clear. ♥️ Edit: I realised you mentioned that you can control up to 6 fans. That would cover my 3 front fans and 3 top fans. What would I need to do to integrate a rear rgb fan?
If going with Corsair RGB fans, you'll need another controller for the 7th fan. If the top fans are case fans, just use 2, 3 won't improve temps, and you can move that to the rear.
I am so happy I found this video. I recently bought the new h109i elite and couldn’t find any videos on how to install the pump because they all were using a different bracket. I am still having an issue that I was hoping you could help with? The mounting screws seem to be too short and don’t reach the bracket. How can I fix this?
If you want a 240, that's the best! I tested out the Phanteks Glacier One T30, hoping it would be better, but the pump was way too loud - th-cam.com/video/uDMoWCXGzck/w-d-xo.html
If you have the 1 pin header plugged in correctly and it still gives you the error; make sure you push the ribbon cable ALL the was in until it clicks. It takes some pretty serious force
Factory heatsinks are good, but as an alternative, I've found motherboard heatsinks to work well too. The problem with those is that they often trap heat around the chipset after removing it from the M.2 drive, so yeah, I like factory M.2 heatsink more.
dude. i was losing my mind that the backplate was loose cause i remember that my old cooler just used the normal clips that come with the mb. thank you
The fans are intalled correctly? Should they now blow cool air inside? Basically your are taking out the air from inside and blow it in to the radiator and heatting the watter
what type of sata connector did you use to plug into the commander core and into the power supply? i know this is an older video but please help me out lol
I had my PC built by a custom PC building company. My Corsair H150i Elite Capellix cooler was installed with the fans on top of the radiator facing towards the top of the case rather than being installed pointed down into the case. I am in the process of installing a new AIO (same type but slightly newer model) and I was wondering if I should make my new AIOs radiator fans facing down towards the case rather than having them on top of the radiator facing up. Nearly every PC that I see with an AIO cooler has the fans facing down rather than facing up like mine currently is. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
When you say required, do I have to have icue installed before I install the AIO? I did not have it installed and cannot get the AIO to run without crashing/overheat warning
awesome vidéo, you are the first one on 4 or 5 vidéo that show me what to do with the the small conector!! i was like, not sure what it is but it must be for something. thank you sir 🫡
thank you very much for this video ! at the moment im thinking to upgrade to a 360 aio with cool LCD display, but i hesitate between the Elite LCD and the Kranken Z73 RGB. It would be great to had in your video a look at the temps you will had under charge for your CPU. And little questions about the fans...did you feel them cheap from the quality of the material ? because i found it really cheap this rainbow color corsair sticker at the front of the fan....idk what to think about...its 300 bucks this aio...for these prices i prefer to be sure that all has a good feeling.
Here's my performance review: th-cam.com/video/YOQyOymh_7o/w-d-xo.html And yes, the stickers on the fans do look cheap, and Corsair should do better than that, but the performance is great.
@@TheTechBuyersGuru thanky for the video i didnt check it sorry ! nice to see the great results ! how fast is turning at max the pump`? 2400rpm? or more? And did you think this model is better than the Capellix one? i ask because i saw corsair purpose the lcd screen upgrade for the capellix and capellix model on paper has better fans so idk which one is better now^^ and on the capellix its matt black on fans not these cheap stickers lol
I have Corsair H150i RGB Elite for Intel 1700 mobo. Cables form the Corsair are way diffrerent what they show in video, Still trying to figure to connect, even bought an Commander from corsair, cooler pins wont connect to the Corsair commander.
did you solve the problem with your mainboard where you have the fan error at 10:00 ? because you said you has to use the CPU_FAN header but the PUMP header is not working...is it still the same today or you could plug it on the PUMP header ?
It worked fine once I switched to the CPU_FAN header. Just using the PUMP header did not work, but not because the header was faulty, just because something must be plugged into the CPU_FAN header.
i have encountered the same issue, i also did plug the pump cable into the cpu fan slot that i have and it is still showing the same error for some reason.
My h150i lcd screen has stopped working so i need to replace. Could you do a quick video on how to remove one? Or anyone able to recommend how best to do it. I don't want to harm the cpu
so the water cooler cable goes into CPU_FAN and not AIO_PUMP? im getting the error with AIO_PUMP, but im still confused since ive been told by multiple people to put it in AIO_PUMP
Can we get an update on the Corsair AIO? I have the same on and currently running update V5. Icue softwarebarely recognizes my commander core let along my lcd. Tried just about every step to get it to work properly. Went from Intel to amd MoBo,so not sure whats going on.
I am installing this with the LGA1700 socket and bracket seems to float. Do you know if the LGA1700 bracket floating is normal just like the AMD AM4 and the AM5 Bracket?
Hello I have the exclamation error, I did as you suggested and put the 3 pin in the cpu fan header and my fans for the aio are connected through a splitter to the cpu opt. Any suggestion? I have a Asus x 570 prime pro
I have a corsair h150i watercooler elite without rgb and it doesnt have the commander box you use. The harness that plugs into watercooler has connectors labeled 1 2 and 3. Trying to find help on how to hookup correctly.
I’m so glad you mentioned you also do t have a commander core. My pump also has a USB-C port. And now I’m confused if I should be plugging the pump header into pump or fan like he mentioned.
Can anyone help me? I'm thinking of getting this AIO, but replacing the fans with ql120 fans. Can I do that, and still be able to plug the fans into the commander pro? I'm worried if the ql120 fans have a different cable and won't be able to plug into the commander core. I'm clearly a beginner, lol.
Hey i have a problem installing the CPU cooler USB when i connect it to the usb2.0 port I'm not able to turn my PC on but when i leave it disconnected it boot up my PC regularly
Can you comment on why you choose to use this as an exhaust system, blowing OUT of the case? isn't the idea behind using a water-cooled radiator to be a heatexchanger and this cool the air going into the case? it seems redudant and sort of wastefull to have a heatexchanger installed just to cool the air going out the case.. if the fans are radial, sucking the air out of the PC, what's the whole point then?
@@slushy_17 yes I have. The answer is, that when mounted like this (as an exhaust), the heat is transferred from the CPU up into the exhaust system through the waterpipe, and by having the fans blowing out of the case, it is essentially blowing the heat out into the PC's surroundings :) I just had a backwards picture, and thought the idea was for the heatexchanger to get very cold, and then blow air through it and into the cabinet - like a reverse radiator - but it is just a closed cooling cycle running from the CPU to the cooler, and then letting the heat out of the PC with fans
Good question - yes, you can select a specific theme that includes two displays, and you can choose what you want those displays to monitor - CPU and GPU temps for example. If you decide to grab one, here's the link to the 360mm I tested: amzn.to/38MbODG #ad
My H150i, bought early July 2022, does NOT have a USB connector coming out of the pump. Only out of the Commander Core. The pump head has only the proprietary connector to the Commander Core and the three pin connector intended for the CPU Fan header. Nor does the manual refer to a USB connector coming from the pump. All the videos I've seen, including this one, show a USB connector coming out of the pump. What gives? Was the cooler redesigned?
@@TheTechBuyersGuru Nope, not on my page 10. Ok, I think I figured out what's happening here. There are TWO products, one with LCD and one without. I did not realize this. You reviewed the former, I have the latter. Doh. But no, there's no USB cable on my pump. It must get power from the USB to which the Commander Core is connected. Power must be passed back through the proprietary connector between the pump and the Core. I'll know for sure in a few days after my build is complete. Meantime, I'll remark that you made a good video, but it would be helpful for dumbos like me if you'd have pointed out the distinction between the two products. The non-LCD version is not a "previous" model - it is very much on the market right now.
Can someone tell me how to save settings in ICUE? Every time I select the CPU temperature setting and I reset my PC, the LCD screen returns to water cooling temperature. The color spectrum also changes back to factory settings.
Hi. I just installed yesterday a d of course had same issue. Pc started, display turn couple pics and then on display come like “machine wheel” ikon. Which mean probably pump don’t working. Just after watched your video I seen this little single cable I plugged to CPU FAN 3pin slot. I’m still not sure it’s the right place because I have on the right CPU WATER PUMP if I good remember name. But is 4 pins. So I’m not sure. I used 3 pin for 3 pin because I had previously NZXT aio cooler and all was working fine exactly with this slot. I need replace usb as you done because I used 19pin to double 9 pin splitter. Maybe this is another problem. Btw pc doesn’t turn on now, last time was shut down with this wheel on display and all fans was flashing red. So I disconnect power for night and try again today. Any suggestions please let me know. Greetings, Tom Ps Forgot to say- because aio previously had issue with issue message fan water pump don’t work- many people was suggesting to disable in bios. Because wasn’t physically fan there and system didn’t see it. Even to change that now I can’t because pc don’t turn up.
Hi there, I’ve just done this install and placed the 1 pin in CPU fan part. However I seem to still be getting a CPU fan error. I read some forums and they said to set CPU fan speed to ignore. That didn’t help the problem because the computer would just turn off after 30 seconds due to the CPU temperature being too high. So I’m confused as to what I’ve done wrong. I’ve checked all connections and they seem to be fine. The LCD is pressed on and connected fine. Is there any other potential issues that I may be unaware of that it means it isn’t working?
Your cooler shwn you "!" error ! How you can set it up on new computer ? while you set up new window 11 with cooler app to undate drivers your processor will burn
As many others I got an issue with this AIO. iCue doesnt display the screen setup even if we have the latest updates of iCue and about the AIO. Then, after less than an hour in game, the cooler goes to security mode cause he says "overheating"... But I really don't know why ! There is my war machine : Case : Corsair iCUE 7000X RGB CPU : i7-12700k GPU : ZOTAC 3080 AMP EXTREME 12GB PSU : Corsair RM850x MB : NZXT N7 Z690 I did a pretty good job in the cable management. The air flow is nice and the CPU is around 30°C idle (GPU fanless is about 50°C idle) and everything is connected where it has to about the AIO... I despair about this AIO that I thought was exceptional in view of the reviews
Same here,it worked great on previous build. Now the software won't recognize the pump,half the time the commander and then other half only the sticks of ram.
@@scottmiller7284 That's fixed here. I reviewed the wiring from controller to motherboard. It is connected to another commander core. Then twice going on the mobo. No more issue since months...
After browsing YT for over 45 min, this is the only video that explains the floating backplate. I couldn’t find a tutorial using the updated AMD/AM4 bracket. Thank you so much for clearing up the confusion. You’re awesome!
You are the MAN for making this. I thought I bought an incompatible CPU cooler before watching and was getting worried. Appreciate it!

This part of the video 5:24 saved me from going crazy! I was wondering why there was such a big gap in between my motherboard and the bracket.
Thanks for including these small details in your video!
Every other idiot that has a video never mentioned this. Thank you sir for mentioning this. You got a subscriber

Thanks!
Here for the algorithm! Miss your videos. You're one of my favorite PC TH-camr
Thank you!
Thank you for including the note that it is supposed to be loose when it is not cinched down yet. I'm installing mine now and was worried about that. I'm just having one standoff screw not treading through properly. hoping it lines up properly on the next go.
I freaked out when I noticed the backplate was floating. You are the only one that mentioned that this is perfectly normal.
Hell yeah. A video. That's been a while. Missed your videos.
I've got a few more in the works, but yeah, the days of weekly drops is over, I'm sorry to say!
Thanks for the detailed walk-thru. The info about the cpu back plate gaps and how tight to make those thumbscrews helped me get this thing going. Overall a very informative video that helped me stave off disaster.
Yeeey new video! Thank you for the great (and more importantly honest) reviews!
My pleasure!
i used tiny rubber grommets/washers to alleviate the backplate floating, but thanks for the video because i was sure i had lost parts here or there

And did you think this model is better than the Capellix one? i ask because i saw corsair purpose the lcd screen upgrade for the capellix and capellix model on paper has better fans so idk which one is better now^^ and on the capellix its matt black on fans not these cheap stickers lol
Pump goes up to 2750RPM.
And no, the Cappelix is not better. This one is much better, because the fans are better. The paper specs do not mean much.

The answer is, that when mounted like this (as an exhaust), the heat is transferred from the CPU up into the exhaust system through the waterpipe, and by having the fans blowing out of the case, it is essentially blowing the heat out into the PC's surroundings :) I just had a backwards picture, and thought the idea was for the heatexchanger to get very cold, and then blow air through it and into the cabinet - like a reverse radiator - but it is just a closed cooling cycle running from the CPU to the cooler, and then letting the heat out of the PC with fans
Does anyone know the performance difference between the pre applied paste and MX4
Will this unit display GPU and CPU temp on one screen.
Good question - yes, you can select a specific theme that includes two displays, and you can choose what you want those displays to monitor - CPU and GPU temps for example. If you decide to grab one, here's the link to the 360mm I tested: amzn.to/38MbODG #ad

Can I connect 24 pin pump cable to sata power instead of that??
My H150i, bought early July 2022, does NOT have a USB connector coming out of the pump. Only out of the Commander Core. The pump head has only the proprietary connector to the Commander Core and the three pin connector intended for the CPU Fan header. Nor does the manual refer to a USB connector coming from the pump. All the videos I've seen, including this one, show a USB connector coming out of the pump. What gives? Was the cooler redesigned?
Check again. The Corsair manual actually shows it on Page 10. There's no way a Corsair pump can work without USB.
@@TheTechBuyersGuru Nope, not on my page 10. Ok, I think I figured out what's happening here. There are TWO products, one with LCD and one without. I did not realize this. You reviewed the former, I have the latter. Doh. But no, there's no USB cable on my pump. It must get power from the USB to which the Commander Core is connected. Power must be passed back through the proprietary connector between the pump and the Core. I'll know for sure in a few days after my build is complete. Meantime, I'll remark that you made a good video, but it would be helpful for dumbos like me if you'd have pointed out the distinction between the two products. The non-LCD version is not a "previous" model - it is very much on the market right now.
Glad you figured it out!
Can someone tell me how to save settings in ICUE? Every time I select the CPU temperature setting and I reset my PC, the LCD screen returns to water cooling temperature. The color spectrum also changes back to factory settings.
Hi. I just installed yesterday a d of course had same issue. Pc started, display turn couple pics and then on display come like “machine wheel” ikon. Which mean probably pump don’t working. Just after watched your video I seen this little single cable I plugged to CPU FAN 3pin slot. I’m still not sure it’s the right place because I have on the right CPU WATER PUMP if I good remember name. But is 4 pins. So I’m not sure. I used 3 pin for 3 pin because I had previously NZXT aio cooler and all was working fine exactly with this slot. I need replace usb as you done because I used 19pin to double 9 pin splitter. Maybe this is another problem.
Btw pc doesn’t turn on now, last time was shut down with this wheel on display and all fans was flashing red. So I disconnect power for night and try again today. Any suggestions please let me know. Greetings, Tom
Ps
Forgot to say- because aio previously had issue with issue message fan water pump don’t work- many people was suggesting to disable in bios. Because wasn’t physically fan there and system didn’t see it. Even to change that now I can’t because pc don’t turn up.
I was still getting that error even plugged to the CPU header. I just returned it
when i shut down pc the old picture still there i delete it and still wont go away any help?
Hi there, I’ve just done this install and placed the 1 pin in CPU fan part. However I seem to still be getting a CPU fan error. I read some forums and they said to set CPU fan speed to ignore. That didn’t help the problem because the computer would just turn off after 30 seconds due to the CPU temperature being too high. So I’m confused as to what I’ve done wrong. I’ve checked all connections and they seem to be fine. The LCD is pressed on and connected fine. Is there any other potential issues that I may be unaware of that it means it isn’t working?
Did you find the solution? I have the same problem
Any solutions on this? Just ran into the same issue smh
Any solution for that.
If anyone has a solution I just bought a second hand one and having same issue.
Your cooler shwn you "!" error ! How you can set it up on new computer ? while you set up new window 11 with cooler app to undate drivers your processor will burn
i cant edit my screen inside of icue anyone know why?
Having the same issue
life saver could not figure out why there was so much play in my backplate
If I had this cooler and more than another 3 Corsair fans, does anyone know how I’d connect them?
Another Commander node.
Cant get rid of the red triangle
Thanks i'm installing an AM5 and the directions make no sense for any AMD
As many others I got an issue with this AIO. iCue doesnt display the screen setup even if we have the latest updates of iCue and about the AIO.
Then, after less than an hour in game, the cooler goes to security mode cause he says "overheating"... But I really don't know why !
There is my war machine :
Case : Corsair iCUE 7000X RGB
CPU : i7-12700k
GPU : ZOTAC 3080 AMP EXTREME 12GB
PSU : Corsair RM850x
MB : NZXT N7 Z690
I did a pretty good job in the cable management. The air flow is nice and the CPU is around 30°C idle (GPU fanless is about 50°C idle) and everything is connected where it has to about the AIO...
I despair about this AIO that I thought was exceptional in view of the reviews
Same here,it worked great on previous build. Now the software won't recognize the pump,half the time the commander and then other half only the sticks of ram.
@@scottmiller7284 That's fixed here. I reviewed the wiring from controller to motherboard. It is connected to another commander core. Then twice going on the mobo.
No more issue since months...
Ouch, this video hurts my eyes w the narrow and constantly shifting areas of focus 😭
