Corsair's iCUE H150i Elite LCD XT is a 360 mm All-In-One liquid cooler that looks to dominate the AIO space. Delivering exceptional performance, clean looks and a stout five-year warranty along with an IPS display, it packs a massive number of features to go with its stellar performance. Just beware of the hefty price tag.

At almost $300, you might as well just do a custom loop at that point...never understood the whole $200+ AIO like this, or Asus's ryujin and other super expensive ones....

This doesn't look like a good deal to me. This is a 360mm AIO costing almost $300 that has about the same performance as the 240mm Lian Li Galahad which only costs $120.

This strikes me as just another OEM AIO that's been re-branded as Corsair with the price jacked just because it says "Corsair" on it. The performance isn't very inspiring, but I've never seen a CPU liquid cooling system that had incredible performance. I always thought that liquid cooling was more applicable to video cards than CPUs. It kinda makes me laugh how it's usually gamers that want liquid cooling on their CPUs when it offers them literally no benefit whatsoever. I'm running a Wraith Prism air cooler on my R7-5800X3D and it never throttles in games. In fact, it never even gets really hot. I think that liquid cooling is far more applicable to productivity than gaming because no game works a CPU as hard as Blender or AIDA, not even close.

I think that liquid cooling for GPUs would be far more applicable to gamers because gaming works the GPU far harder than the CPU and the GPU uses A LOT more electricity (and therefore gives off a lot more heat) than any CPUs not called FX-9590, i7-13700K or i9-13900K.

I think that liquid cooling is a good idea for those insane enough to have an AMD FX-9590 or the two crazy-hot Intels, the i7-13700K and i9-13900K. Otherwise, I think that air cooling is more than good enough and liquid would be more useful for the GPU.

Thanks but no thanks. 290 for a 360mm AIO that does not even achieve best results in noise or temps?

I bought Arctic LF-II 420mm years ago and it cost me just a little above 100 bucks. And i dont have to deal with any RGB or software. For the price Corsair is asking i could almost buy 3 of what i have now. I agree with others. For nearly 300 you are better off going with a custom loop.

Blah blah iCUE bad, as if that hasn't been uttered under every single comment section related to Corsair. As it turns out my computer hasn't exploded yet despite having it installed, so there's that going for it.

Speaking of iCUE bad, Corsair also released the H100X rgb elite recently that tout's in it's marketing that it uses a 3 pin argb connector. So you can be stuck with motherboard software instead of Corsair's software. Actually kind of interested to see how it performs since it's more competitive on pricing ($100) than is typical for them. Also interested to see how it uses a 3 pin connector, some sort of adapter for their fans I guess?

You're mostly paying for aesthetic. Even with GPU's there isn't ever much actual gain relative to the often large price premium AiO GPU's command.

It kinda makes me laugh how it's usually gamers that want liquid cooling on their CPUs when it offers them literally no benefit whatsoever.
Asetek (Corsair's OEM in the past) has a stranglehold over the US AIO market, but some manufacturers have managed to design their way around the Asetek patent and bring to the US market some amazing AIOs - ARCTIC immediately comes to mind. Be Quiet! is another.

I have an AIO in my rig. A 360mm Be Quiet Pure Loop 2 FX (I also have a 240mm Arctic Liquid Freezer II put away). I wouldn't say AIOs offer no benefits whatsoever - some people use them over air coolers because they want an overall quiet system, some people need the added cooling potential, and some people (like myself for instance) simply don't want to look over at their PC and see a huge hunk of metal sticking out like a sore thumb :laugh:

But seriously, I don't think it's right to say that AIOs offer no benefit whatsoever.

That said, i think the conclusion says it all but i know reading comprehension isn't everyone's strong suit. Does it perform well yes it does, is it expensive oh yeah it is. is it the best AIO with built in LCD i have tested? Yup by a long shot. It fits a particular niche in the market. However, me personally I am a cheap SOB so id probably just grab something else and save a fat stack of cash. Either way i am on custom water for whatever it is worth.

Overall, the Corsair H150i Elite LCD XT is a damn good cooler that offers near-chart-topping performance, stellar looks, unique features, and a great warranty. The only downside is the hefty price tag, but if you are looking specifically for an all-in-one liquid cooler with an LCD display, then Corsair iCUE H150i Elite LCD XT is the one I would recommend as of this review.

As for selection of reviews or w.e I determine what I review and when. I only have so much time to devote to said reviews each review takes about 20-25 hours to complete photos / testing / writing / editing. I also cover mini-pcs and on occasion desktops / workstations.

You guys just pay a premium for the lcd, take the capellix, judging from the tests it seems to be even better and less costly 239e "only".

I agree with the other commentators that the price is insane. You are paying about $250 more than an aircooler for about a 5 degree improvement. One could build a budget custom loop for about $300.

Why did you put the tubes up, air will be stuck in the upper part of the rad, it might degrade performance ?
As seen on GamerNexus tube up can damage the pump

Any chance you'll be covering the LT720 anytime soon?
I do plan on getting one and proly will do before a review could be even done but still :p

Hi,
I can't think of one reason other than rgb control you'd need icue for a psu, and rgb on a psu is just whack :confused:

I do believe that TPU's ratings are flawed. How is this an editor's choice? I also saw the new MSI router (@450 CAD) as great value as well.

Why is so many complaining about iCUE? I use it for the PSU, and it works well, is functional and not that heavy on system ressources.
It's mostly due to it being pretty bad for most people... I've heard that using 3 or less devices it's totally fine, but any more and it starts getting worse. I think of it much better than any motherboard software, but still has too many flaws to be "good" software.

Hi,
I can't think of one reason other than rgb control you'd need icue for a psu, and rgb on a psu is just whack :confused:
Real-time power consumption and efficiency numbers?

Normally you would have to buy a separate device that sits between the wall outlet and the PSU to get these numbers.

Hi,
Okay yeah I'd rather use my backup battery features and if I really want to see what's being pulled out the wall just glance at my kill-a-watt ez display :cool:

In the os hwinfo64 shows quite a bit.
