Finished Looks

When it comes to looks, the massive H170i Elite Capellix will definitely grab your attention with its white and black design contrasting nicely with the rest of the system. As can be seen, it fully makes use of every available millimeter of space my test bench can muster, so make sure your chassis can fit this thing as 420 mm AIOs are not all that common and cases to support them are even rarer in the mainstream market.


As for memory and graphics card clearance, there were no issues on either platform.


The ARGB lighting on the pump is crisp and clean with great color uniformity. Obviously, it's not perfect, but as I noted in the H150i review, and it remains true here, it is still one of the nicest implementations for color, intensity, and uniform illumination. It's the fans that are a bit of a letdown. They are by no means bad; they just can't rival the Capellix LEDs' output on the pump.
