Corsair Intros iCUE H170i Elite Capellix CPU Cooler | TechPowerUp
 
Corsair today introduced its largest all-in-one liquid CPU cooler, the iCUE H170i Elite Capellix, augmenting the iCUE Elite Capellix series the company debuted in September 2020. This cooler lugs along a large 420 mm x 140 mm radiator, and a high-pressure pump-block, making it capable of HEDT applications including 280 W TDP Ryzen Threadripper PRO chips in the sWRX8 and sTRX4 sockets. Among the other sockets supported are AM4, LGA2066, LGA1200, and LGA115x.

While the pump-block is essentially of the same design as other models in the series, with its "split flow" micro-fin lattice, and Capellix LED-illuminated top, the flow-rate is suitably increased to match with the larger 420 mm radiator, at 0.82 L/m. Each of the three included 140 mm fans turns at speeds of up to 2,000 RPM, and features magnetic-levitation bearings. The company didn't reveal air-flow or air-pressure numbers, but mentioned noise output to be up to 37 dBA at top speed. A Corsair iCUE Commander Core RGB controller comes included with the cooler. Available now, the iCUE H170i Elite Capellix is priced at USD $229.99.
 
Only cases that can fit a 420mm can accept this new AIO cooler. Even my own 5000X Corsair case can't fit it.

    put a thicker rad on it - or offer 2 choices for rads
     
    more surface area is always better
     
     
    3x 140 is what is needed for modern cpu's if you want to overclock or have lots of cores
    3x 120 is barely enough for a 10980x that is overclocked (and not at 5.1 - it can't handle that even tho the chip can)
     
    it's sorta the reason im waiting for 2x200 bigger is always better - more surface area and more airflow
     
    at least give people options
     
    since i can't get what i want it looks like a custom loop is in order
    and i have to snag at least 2 WC 3090's (and really good luck getting that right now) for the build - swap out the air cooled to other rig
    and snag a 1600+ watt PSU (and again good luck with that)
