CONCLUSION

   Even though the latest H115i Elite CAPELLIX AIO may not really offer anything new in terms of cooling efficiency compared to its predecessor the H115i RGB Pro XT (0.5 degree difference is well within the margin of error) it does feature a much better RGB lighting courtesy to both the ML140 RGB fans and the CAPELLIX RGB LEDs of the pump (something which I expect will appeal to consumers, gamers especially). On top of that the H115i Elite CAPELLIX also comes with support for a total of 4 fans in push and pull configuration (thanks to the 16 bundled long screws and the iCUE Commander hub) right out of the box and that again is something that may appeal to some people. Unfortunately, noise levels have remained the same and so in extreme mode the H115i Elite CAPELLIX AIO is quite audible.

   The H115i Elite CAPELLIX AIO liquid CPU cooler by CORSAIR already counts roughly 3 months in the market and currently retails for USD169.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 184.66Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de). This of course is right on par with what CORSAIR has gotten us used over the years and yes this is once again among the most expensive 280mm AIO models in the market. Price aside however the H115i Elite CAPELLIX has it all, quality, performance and looks which is why it also gets the Golden Award.
