Corsair iCUE H115i RGB PRO XT Liquid CPU Cooler Review

Corsair has been in the all-in-one (AIO) cooler game for years, constantly changing up their products for improved performance and aesthetics. We have looked at many of their AIOs in the past, most recently the H115i RGB Platinum. Today we are back with an AIO from Corsair’s latest lineup of iCUE RGB PRO XT coolers, the H115i RGB PRO XT Liquid CPU Cooler. This new AIO pairs Corsair’s latest waterblock and pump design with addressable RGB lighting, a 280mm radiator, and two 140mm ML fans for quiet cooling performance.

Special thanks to Corsair for providing us with the iCUE H115i RGB PRO XT review sample.

Opening the box up we see a thin sheet of foam padding keeping components safe, and just underneath the foam pad is a molded cardboard form with a dedicated space for each component. All of this AIO’s hardware is wrapped in a plastic bag for additional protection from scuffs and scrapes during transportation.

Accessories

While the H115i RGB PRO XT is completely assembled at the factory, aside from the fans being attached to the radiator, there are multiple mounting brackets and associated hardware that ships along with the cooler. Corsair provides all of the required mounting hardware for most current Intel and AMD systems, including AMD’s Threadripper CPUs.

In addition to the various mounting brackets and their associated mounting hardware, a Micro USB to USB 2.0 header cable is included to connect the pump to your motherboard for control over the pump speed and lighting. Also included with the kit is a warranty guide and product manual.
