This is a 420mm all-in-one liquid CPU cooler that offers excellent cooling performance, stunning RGB lighting, and easy installation. In this article, we will go over the main features and benefits of the H170i, and why it might be the ideal choice for your next PC upgrade.

What makes the iCUE H170i ELITE CAPELLIX XT special?

It is part of the CORSAIR iCUE H170i ELITE CAPELLIX Series, which includes two models: the H170i ELITE CAPELLIX XT and the H170i ELITE CAPELLIX. Both of them are 420mm liquid CPU coolers that use a copper cold plate, a low-noise pump, and three 140mm fans to cool down your CPU. The main difference between them is the type of fans and the RGB lighting.

It uses the CORSAIR AF RGB ELITE Series fans, which 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 500 to 1,700 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.
