Included with this cooler are two 120mm ML RGB PWM cooling fans – capable of 400-1600 RPM and airflow of 47.3 CFM. There is also the added bonus of “Zero RPM” mode with the fans as the iCUE software can be configured to allow the fans to remain silent under idle conditions – thus reducing noise.


While the pump OEM remains the same (CoolIT) we have a revamp in terms of the design. The shape, size and look definitely makes more of an impact. By default, CORSAIR includes a black cap but this can be swapped out for the transparent version to allow for an even better view of the LEDs underneath.

Cables from the pump include a 3-pin which goes directly into the motherboard header and a long connector for use with the Commander NODE.


On the reverse of this pump we have the copper baseplate – this has pre-applied thermal paste to provide optimal coverage – though, with HEDT CPUs listed as being compatible, this surface area would definitely not cover the entirety of the heatspreader.


There are various models within the CAPELLIX lineup, under review today is the 240 model which features a 240mm radiator.
