Corsair H115iElite RGB Review & Specifications
The Corsair H115iElite RGB by Corsair is a Liquid CPU cooler designed for compatibility with LGA 1700, LGA 1200, LGA 1150, LGA 1151, LGA 1155, LGA 1156, LGA 1366, LGA 2011, LGA 2066, AM5, AM4, sTRX4, sTR4 sockets.
This liquid cooler uses a high-efficiency CPU block made of Copper for optimal heat transfer. It features a 280 radiator with dimensions of 322 x 137 x 27 mm, paired with 2 fan(s) of 140 mm each. The fan(s) operate at a maximum speed of 1600 RPM with a noise level of 31.0 dBA, achieving a total airflow of 84.5 CFM. Please ensure your PC case can accommodate the radiator size and mounting configuration. You can check compatibility with our PC Builder, which filters cases based on radiator size. Aesthetically, this CPU cooler includes RGB lighting for customizable illumination, adding visual flair to your system build. The cooler is backed by a 5-year warranty, providing long-term reliability and manufacturer support.
Performance
Corsair H115iElite RGB is a high-end performance liquid CPU cooler built for CPUs with a TDP exceeding 200 W, delivering an excellent relative cooling performance score of 86.90%. It is particularly well-suited for high-end gaming PCs, as it helps exhaust heat directly outside the case, improving internal airflow and thermal headroom for powerful GPUs. While it can be used in workstation builds, caution is advised due to inherently lower reliability compared to air coolers. Liquid coolers offer top-tier thermal performance, often unmatched by air coolers, but come with increased complexity, more moving parts (such as the pump), a risk of coolant leakage, and a higher likelihood of requiring maintenance over time.
Cost-Effectiveness
The performance-per-price ratio of Corsair H115iElite RGB is %, placing it in the lower value segment among liquid cooling solutions. However, this is a high-performance liquid CPU cooler, and it remains a viable choice for users focused on maximum cooling potential and visual appeal, regardless of budget.
