Posted April 8, 2021 Hi everyone: I was looking at Corsair’s new AIO. https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Liquid-Cooling/iCUE-ELITE-CAPELLIX-Liquid-CPU-Cooler/p/CW-9060048-WW The 360mm H150I version with 3 120mm fan provides only 75 CFM airflow. While the 280mm H115I version with 2 140mm fan provide 97 CFM airflow. I am just confused about which one will provide better cooling performance. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I frequently edit any posts you may quote; please check for anything I 'may' have added. Did you test boot it, before you built in into the case? WHY NOT...?!

Posted April 9, 2021 The CFM rating is per fan and from the manufacturer's unimpeded tests. When on a rad, the effective CFM will be much less. Both coolers perform well but the H150i Elite Capellix seems to perform better. https://quasarzone.com/bbs/qc_qsz/views/673616?_method=post&_token=1bbjkZnCraXwL7eqMk8eu1SPX9SN0A2aujQWFz4F If you ever need help with a build, read the following before posting: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/3061-build-plan-thread-recommendations-please-read-before-posting/Also, make sure to quote a post or tag a member when replying or else they won't get a notification that you replied to them.
