Finished Looks

The Corsair iCUE H115i RGB ELITE may be an ARGB-equipped cooler, but with the lighting off it certainly works as a stealthy option as well. The all-black design lets it blend in with the surrounding components. With a white motherboard or case, it would stand out more, offering a nice bit of contrast, but in most builds, it will be more subdued when not making use of the addressable RGB lighting on the pump.


There were no issues on either platform regarding memory and graphics card clearance. While this is normal for most all-in-one liquid coolers, there are still outliers in the market, so it is always a plus to see no conflicts or issues appear here.


When it comes to ARGB lighting, Corsair kept things very simple and subdued with the iCUE H115i RGB ELITE. Only the pump is illuminated, and while the overall effect is nice, it isn't nearly as attention-grabbing as it could be. For some that want a less in-your-face visual aesthetic, it will likely prove to be just right; however, if you're looking for something more, you will likely gravitate more towards Corsair's Capellix lineup.
