WHY CORSAIR

[jonathancccc]

I've been wanting to get a new 360mm aio, looking at the h150i pro it really is what I'm looking for, but WHY CORSAIR

WHY ISNT THERE A PLATINUM VARIANT FOR THE 150I BUT THERE IS FOR H115 AND H110 

 

Why did corsair even make this choice, I'm really digging the aesthetics of being a

Ble to individually address the led in the platinum variant

Presumably not enough people are buying 360mm rads to make developing a new one worthwhile. A 360 AIO is overkill for basically anything IMO, at that point you're more likely to run into the maximum heat removal rate of the CPU block before you hit the radiator's full capacity. Unless you run the fans super slow, but I digress.

I dunno, cooling them 250W parts certainly sounds like a great use-case for this.

 

If only they were compatible with GPUs though.

You could always go with a Deep Cool Captain 360mm RGB or, virtually, any other host of RGB 360mm's. After all, hardly anything separates any AIO coolers on the market. They all use Aseteks pumps and designs because it's patented, Deep Cool tip toes around the patent by fooling around with where the water goes and where the pump sits which is why they're so much cheaper.

Yeah, but then I'd have to buy a Kraken. Do not want.

You can buy any asetek cooler (Kraken, h115i, EVGA CLC etc. etc. etc.). All Asetek AIO's are compatible with it but some non-aseteks are compatible.

The newest high-end Corsair cooler isn't Asetek.

Which one are you referring to? Because as far as I know all their AiO's are Asetek made

Hydro Series™ H115i RGB PLATINUM 280mm Liquid CPU Cooler

 

Edit:

 

They have 3 RGB PLATINUM coolers that aren't Asetek.  2 x 240s and 1 280.
