New H115i Platinum

[The Reu]

I decided to pick up a new Corsair H115i Platinum AiO.  Here's my first go at installing this model.  I' moved the two ML 140 Pros from my old H110i GTX to this cooler.  I'm using ASUS Thermal Radarr 2.0 to control fan speeds.

What case? By the way, I think you should remove the bottom 2 drive caddies if you aren't using them.

Nice cooler I was consider that, but it was a bit expensive for me.

Corsair Air 540.  It's getting a little older but, i really love it.  Thanks for the advice on the drive Caddies.  I keep thinking I'll add more storage but, you're probably right.

Yeah, I still think the Air 540 and Air 240 are nice, but they are kinda expensive.

Excellent cable management, but a tip to make your audio and usb 2.0 connectors look nicer is to cover the part with all the individually colored wires with electrical tape, so it is black.

Yeah, they refreshed the Air 240 as the 280X which I quite like. I hope we get a similar refresh of the 540 (580X wouldn't work since that's an AMD thing, so maybe 600X or something?)

680X is already a thing. The 280x & 680x are nice, but the airflow is meh, especially on the 280x.

problem with the 240/280x, is that w/ a mATX board, 70% of the cable cutouts are removed.

Ive been running that cooler since January, very much liking it

Thanks for the heads up on the 680X! Looks dope, but $250. Corsair cases be expensive lately

Yeah, I think some of the reason is that it does come with 3 rgb fans that retail for 100$.

Oh, neat. Still $150 for a case when the R6 exists.

But this one does have more Tg, its more compareable with a O11 dynamic. Also imp, S2 > R6, as it comes with usb c, was 100$, (might still be), and has those snazzy drive caddies (love the cutouts)

Yeah I guess.
