Whether you're a seasoned PC builder or just getting started, Corsair's reputation for quality and performance is hard to ignore, and the Elite cooler line offers a wide range of options to fit all types of PC form factors.
In this video, we unbox and set up the Capellix series, checking out what comes in the box, how to set it up, and what makes each Corsair H-series model unique. We explore the different sizes available, from 240 millimeters all the way up to 420 millimeters, which can keep even the hottest CPUs cool.
We'll review the installation process, including how the fans mount onto the radiator, how to install the mounting brackets for all relevant motherboards and CPU brands, and how to apply the thermal paste. We also explore the unique features of the Elite series, including the proprietary cable that goes directly into the included ICUE Commander core RGB lighting and fan controller, which allows you to control the color scheme between all the fans, the water block, and any compatible RGB memory and lighting.
Additionally, we delve into the benefits of the LCD version of the Elite series, which displays information on temperatures, fan speeds, performance, system load and resources, and even supports custom images.
Overall, while it would be nice to have the white model available in all sizes, if you're looking to build a new PC with water cooling or upgrade your existing system, the Corsair Elite series should be on your shortlist.
