The Corsair H150i Pro ships in a black box with some bright, colourful accents on the front which obviously ties in with the RGB nature of the cooler.
Inside, the manual is the first thing we come across – it is clearly laid out and has clear instructions for each different CPU socket, so good job there.
All of the necessary installation hardware comes in one big bag, but inside that there are smaller bags for different socket types. The bags are not labelled, however.
The three included fans are from Corsair's successful ML series, and each has a maximum speed of 1600 RPM. They have kept the classic black and grey colour scheme of previous Corsair radiator fans.
The actual liquid cooler itself is obviously of the 360mm variety, and it measures 396mm x 120mm x 27mm. The tubing is very flexible despite being braided, and each tube measures approximately 14 inches (35cm).
Corsair has also made some aesthetic modifications to the pump/waterblock: the central section is glossy plastic, surrounded by a white ring made of aluminium. The Corsair logo is obviously illuminated by RGB LEDs, something we look at later in the review.
Lastly, the pump has three cables coming off it: 1x SATA power cable, 1x 3-pin pump header and then 1x fan header cable, which supports up to three 4-pin fans.
I want one….great review..
In your review you did not mention whether it can support threadripper.
Why didn’t they use 1,200rpm fans like the h115i is using? I wonder how it compares to a NHD15 noise/perf wise..
Usually AIO’s have always been louder, would be nice if that’s changed now.. It’s taken long enough.
It doesn’t. The list of supported platforms is on the first page of the review.
Intel LGA 1150 • Intel LGA 1155 • Intel LGA
1156 • Intel LGA 1366 • Intel LGA 2011 • Intel LGA 2011-3 • Intel LGA
2066 • AMD AM2 • AMD AM3 • AMD AM4 • AMD FM1 • AMD FM2
it has been mentioned in other reviews that a threadripper plate may be available as an accessory
I know you tested it with the fans connected to the motherboard but would that not have spun the fans up a lot higher speed then using the pumps cables. I think the idea is the LINK software will let you set the mode and its aimed at QUIETER . Would the results here be different by much ? Would have been nice to see another test done using these just so we could compare and changing cables would take less then a minute 🙂
It must really suck to be these websites that get paid by Corsair to do advertising then they can’t do a proper review. On all reviews I saw, the 360 model lost to 280/240 AIO’s (like on this one) on the comparisons chart, yet, on the conclusion part no one mention it and said “great product”.
What is “great” about a 360mm that loses to a 280mm AIO that is more cheap? Wtf..
How difficult would it be to swap out those bland fans with RGB fans, Let’s say.. AZZA Hurricane RGB Fans for example?
I’d have to agree. Marketing it as an RGB item only because of the cooling block is kinda lame. For that price, stop being cheapskates and put on some RGB fans as well. Bland black fans are kinda, well.. boring as hell.
well have the 115i RGB and have changed my mind slightly, the RGB on the head is a lot better then the previous version and unless you have the RAD at the front you wont get any use from the RGB fans.
still should be RGB fans………..
