What makes the iCUE H100i ELITE CAPELLIX XT Black special?

It is part of the CORSAIR iCUE H100i ELITE CAPELLIX Series, which includes two models: the H100i ELITE CAPELLIX XT Black and the H100i ELITE CAPELLIX White. Both of them are 240mm liquid CPU coolers that use a copper cold plate, a low-noise pump, and two 120mm fans to cool down your CPU. The main difference between them is the color of the fans and the pump head.

The fans have a special AirGuide design that focuses the airflow towards the center of the fan, resulting in higher static pressure and better cooling performance. The fans also have PWM control, which means you can adjust their speed from 550 to 2,100 RPM, depending on your cooling needs and noise preferences.

It also has the most advanced RGB lighting among the two models. It has 33 individually addressable RGB LEDs on the pump head, which can create vibrant and dynamic lighting effects and match the color scheme of your PC build. You can also synchronize the RGB lighting with other iCUE compatible devices, such as keyboards, mice, headsets, and more.
