When I first got into building, you have no idea how many times I referenced your videos for specific cooler mounting. It made something that seemed so daunting, pretty easy to follow. You’re truly helping more than you know with these how to vids. Good stuff as always!
Yeah, this cooler has so many cables, you are the only person who showed how to install it in an easy-to-understand way. Installing the radiator, fans, and block is easy but all those cables were daunting to say the least. Thank you sir, you helped me when everyone else just wanted to show their beautifully built system.
to be fair, i think all things which come with rgb are kinda daunting. 3 years ago i builded my first pc with an aio cooler, for some reason my mb only has had one rgb header and it had to much volt, so my rgb on the aio just died on first start up. since that i wont touch them without an tutorial anymore. i can build a pc from scratch without any issues but when it comes to rgb im out.
You are a life saver... i did everything right, even removed the thermal paste twice and applied a new one, but temp kept rising.. i watched your video and plugged the 3 pin inside the 4 pin cpu opt, and my temp is 26 degrees.. Thank you so much mate
For some reason I search for an installation video and RUclips is pumping out smaller content creators. I do like that but in this particular instance I'm grateful for your insight and appreciate your work
Your fantastic video helped me to setup my Corsair H150i RGB Elite at home. My device doesn't have a control box (because RGB controlling is already integrated) but I could get it up & running in a similar manner: Connecting it to CPUFAN & USB 2.0 Jumper on my motherboard, connecting the 3 Corsair fans and adding a SATA power connection from my power supply. I would also recommend to remove the plastic from the screen (11:30) a little later because it is very prone to scratches. In general, thank you for this great tutorial! It would have taken me a lot more time without it. 👍 Best from Berlin, Benny
This helped me a lot. I watched it so many times lol. I had a weird issue with the Sata power from my power supply. It took me so long to figure it out but this guide along with common sense is all anyone should need. Thanks a ton my system looks lit!
Man. I just got myself a H170i Elite. Assuming it installs the same way. This is so much better then the official CORSAIR LABS tutorial for their 2 fan version of the H150i Elite. Your tutorial goes super in depth and I will definitely be leaving a sub!!
my first build was on 2018 and your videos what i was counted on back then to build my pc and now i am upgrading and i come to your channel to watch your videos again your videos is really helpful big appreciation and love
This gained you another subscriber. I’m new to PC building and such and this helped me change the AIO to the new corsair in my prebuilt. The only thing i can say is that these angles made it exceptionally simple and straight forward to install and correctly wire up. Thank you so much.
Been thinking about getting the iCUE H100i XT Elite. Your video has been the most detailed and informative. Thank you so much! You just earned a subscriber!
Dude….this video saved my sanity…I can’t thank you enough, this is a must see video for anyone thinking of installing this kit as the instructions are non existent! Thank you again 😀😀😀😀👍👍👍👍
THANK YOUUU. I'm building my first computer in like 10 years and I can't find the H150i LCD in my country, and I was looking everywhere to see if the H150i LCD has the screen fixed vs the upgrade kit for the basic Capellix edition which is magnetic. I had looked at 20 videos. But when you said "We recomment taking off the screen" I yelled FINALLY very loudly haha. Now I can get the white H150i Capellix and wait for the white screen upgrade kit. THANK YOU again
What an amazing video I usually don’t comment on RUclips videos but I really wanted to express my gratitude. I didn’t even get through the entire video I just know this will answer all my question
awesome video, You do the best overviews of motherboards, coolers and everything else. To many channels assume that everyone knows everything. The multiple views and explanation is great. thank you.
My favorite aspect of this video is the deliberate demonstration of wiring. The only thing missing for me was the sata connection. To point out where from psu it comes from.
The amount of poorly detailed videos that I have watched only to come across your video and for you to have it explained step by step in detail on how hook everything up from start to finish. Words cannot express my gratitude. Thank you.
I Was so nervous working with this AIO because of all the wires and its been a while (10 years) since I build my last computer (laptops since then) with lg67 itx motherboard with the CPU's included cooling fan. And then I discovered that some people are using a retro kit for lga1700, but his video helped to show that all the hardware is included in this case.
Thank you for the very thorough and clear tutorial ! Now thanks to you I will be much more confident installing this dang cool LCD AIO cooler for my 1st build :)
Would you happen to know how the wiring goes if I have unifans and not using corsair fans? My main confusion is do I still need to use the commander pro controller (I know its technically not that but same idea right). Can I just plug USB2.0 and the pump header connection? that way I can control the LCD screen via iCUE and the pump speed I can set to full speed?
Thank you very much for this guide. Every other guide that I could find was strictly amd. Showing that I could reposition the back bracket's screw holes was extremely helpful. Been awhile since I was deep in the guts of a pc.
Installed this tonight, didn't plug the pump USB into the splitter, just went ahead and plugged the controller and pump USBs into slots. Turned it on and got smoke from a melting SATA cable. Gonna use the splitter tomorrow and hopefully that gets me a non smoky result 😅
just getting into RGB computer parts and with the control box, can you plug other fans into it too instead of them being plugged in elsewhere so they are all controlled by the same thing?
Dude i got these brackets with mine and was like wtf why does every video online show it with two hook point type mounts lol thanks for this upload trying it on a AM5 build tonight
Glad I watched this video, was about to go pick this up. I'm so used to coolers coming with the brackets they need. Currently have a Hyper 212 which has its own bracket. The stock bracket i lost in a fire... need to order that bracket now.
It should be noted that the CPU fan header does not work for this AIO on most motherboards. You will need to plug it into the SYS FAN PUMP header and will likely need an extension cable due to the cooler’s super short included cable.
there's a known issue with many users where the cooler LCD display shows a red triangle error. the issue has to do with the use of the usb splitter possibly drawing too much power from a single usb header. most users have opt to bypass the splitter & plug each usb separately onto the mobo. how did you managed to get your AIO to work correctly using the splitter.
Will be doing major surgery on the desktop tomorrow, replacing my NH-D15 with this cooler (largely because the NH-D15 is just in my way - it's way too big compared to a pump / top), replacing the 5700 XT with a 3080, and replacing a few Noctua chromax fans with the same fans that come with this cooler. I've avoided Corsair for ages as I don't like proprietary solutions, but the EK Nucleus I pre-ordered in September still hasn't shipped and I'm tired of waiting. With the screen, everyone says iCUE is by far the best software among all the "mainstream" ones (I've heard it's got nothing on AquaComputer's Aquasuite, but I can't be arsed to build a custom loop either), so I figured I'd give it a shot. Wish me luck.
Tip: Connect the pump USB cable DIRECTLY to the Motherboard. I bought this AIO last week and I connected both the pump and controller USB cables with the Y cable. After some minutes the LCD screen froze and the hardware disappeared from iCUE. After looking for info in Reddit, I found this solution, to connect the controller to the Y cable and the pump directly to the motherboard and voilá, the screen works perfectly now.
@@MiguelGaming117 I just followed this comment from Reddit: I had the very same problem with my setup. After setting everything up I would open iCue and the LCD would show up on the iCue software and I can adjust all the settings and use it but it would freeze and then crash and would disappear from the iCue software and the only way to fix it would be to restart the computer completely. Just for it to crash again after a minuet of opening iCue. What helped me over come this was not using the splitter for the USB header cause from what I gathered if you use the splitter and it has to share power from another source using the same header it will cause the LCD screen to crash. So I plugged the LCD screen directly to the USB header on the motherboard so it had it's own header and the problem went away and never crashed. I ended up using the splitter for the Commander Core and another unit that also used the header. Don't use any splitter with the LCD plug, plug it in directly to it's own header on the motherboard. Hopefully that will work like it did for me. www.reddit.com/r/Corsair/comments/r85kvo/elite_lcd_upgrade_kit_keeps_freezing_itll_be_fine/
FINALLY, watching your video i finally figured out i missed connecting both usb cords to the splitter. its been like a year and i couldnt figure out why the screen never appeared in icue settings even though the pump itself did. Q_Q
Do intel and amd just use different metal adaptors on the motherboard or do they use different screws and caps too ? I bought one in mint condition on ebay but it only has the intel fittings and i need AM5
@@GearSeekersi see so i need the amd bracket and the stand offs but can use the nuts provided with the intel, thank you. Also hopefully you can tell me as i cant find info anywhere, does the amd4 bracket fit am5 boards ? I can only find am4 parts for it on ebay not am5, hopefully they're the same ? Thank you, i really appreciate it👍
If someone reads this, godbless! each start of my pc i have to remove commander core from bluetooth and other devices, rescan device manager, restart iCue - then it sees all my fans and my h170i. any work around? im kinda tired...
hey awesome video, Do you know where to get that AM4 mounting with 4 thumb screws? I have the hook/thumbscrew with only 2 and it's driving me nuts. Thank you!
Anyone not using signal rgb, you have to atleast check it out! Works with icue, hyperx and a lot of others also plus game integrations, matches screen colors to rgb
Words can't express how much more helpful I found this video than 99% of the ones out there which show it sped-up 500x and are 3 minutes long.
