The video discusses Corsair's new IQ H150i RGB Elite all-in-one liquid cooler which offers affordability and modern features like 16 addressable RGB LEDs and USB-C connectivity. The cooler delivers strong cooling performance on an overclocked Ryzen 9 5950X, with controllable fan speeds despite being loud. While competing with other 360mm coolers, it falls slightly behind due to lower fan speeds. The standout feature is Corsair's IQ ecosystem which provides comprehensive control over fan speeds and LED lighting. The overall positive review emphasizes ease of installation, clean cable management, and integration with other Corsair components. Despite its higher price tag, the cooler is considered justifiable for those within the Corsair ecosystem.

In this segment of the video, Corsair’s new IQ H150i RGB Elite all-in-one liquid cooler is introduced as a more affordable option compared to other models. Priced at £164.99 in the UK, it features a 27mm thick 360mm aluminum radiator, AF120 Elite PWM fans, and a pump with 16 individually addressable RGB LEDs. The pump runs at 2900 rpm under its highest speed profile. The cooler supports modern Intel and AMD sockets, including AM5, LGA 1700, and Threadripper. The pump design is understated with a Corsair logo cover and surrounding RGB lighting, while the fans operate at 400-1850 rpm with zero rpm mode support. The cable connectivity is simplified with a single USB-C cable connecting to the pump unit, handling fan control, RGB lighting, and IQ link.

In this segment of the video, the focus is on discussing a CPU cooler with a convenient Type C connector rather than a micro USB. The controller for the CPU cooler allows for adjustment of RGB lighting options and synchronization with other Corsair components. The installation process is described as easy, secure, and with clean cable management. Testing of the cooler is done with a Ryzen 9 5950X processor overclocked to 4.45 GHz and various other hardware components to gauge performance under different conditions. Noise performance at different fan speeds is also evaluated. The overall review is positive, highlighting features, ease of use, and warranty details.

In this segment of the video, the Corsair H150i RGB Elite CPU cooler is discussed. While it is loud due to the triple fans, it offers strong cooling performance with a delta temperature of 58 degrees Celsius on an overclocked Ryzen 9 5950X. The fan speed control is easily tunable, and despite high noise levels, a 40 dBA noise output target is achieved by reducing fan speed duty cycles. The cooler competes with other 360mm all-in-one units, but it is more expensive. In Precision Boost Overdrive testing, the Corsair cooler performs comparably to competitors like the Deep Cool Castle 360 EX and Fractal Lumen S36. Thermal results at 40 dBA are deemed okay but not outstanding. The cooler’s vrm cooling is average, but its focused airflow design through the radiator helps prevent interaction with the vrm area.

In this segment of the video, the focus is on Corsair’s new liquid cooler, the H150i RGB Elite. The key highlight is the inclusion of Corsair’s new AF elite series fans and the LED housing design on the pump block. While the cooling performance is good for a 360mm cooler, it falls slightly behind top competitors due to lower fan speeds. The real standout feature is Corsair’s IQ ecosystem which offers excellent fan speed control, customization options, and LED lighting control. The price may seem high at £164.99, but the premium is justifiable for the experience and integration with the IQ ecosystem. If already part of the Corsair IQ ecosystem, the H150i RGB Elite liquid cooler may be appealing due to its features and design.
