Corsair iCUE H100x CPU Cooler

No, the iCUE H100x RGB ELITE uses a standard 5V motherboard ARGB header. This allows you to control the lighting directly through your motherboard's native software rather than needing additional proprietary controllers.

This cooler features a 240mm radiator, which is compatible with most mid-tower and full-tower cases that support dual 120mm fan mounts. We recommend checking your case specifications to ensure there is sufficient clearance for the radiator and fan thickness at the top or front mounting locations.

Yes, it supports a wide range of modern sockets, including Intel LGA 1700, 1200, and 115x, as well as AMD AM5 and AM4. It is designed to handle the thermal requirements of these current-generation CPUs.

The included PWM fans are designed for a balance of performance and silence, operating between 7 and 28 dBA. At standard loads, they remain very quiet, only ramping up to the maximum 28 dBA when the system is under heavy thermal stress.

Yes, the copper cold plate comes with thermal material pre-applied to ensure a quick and easy installation process. You will not need to purchase or apply additional thermal compound unless you choose to replace it.

Copper is an excellent thermal conductor, allowing the cold plate to draw heat away from your CPU processor more efficiently than aluminum or steel. This rapid heat transfer is essential for maintaining stable temperatures during intensive gaming or productivity tasks.
