Corsair Hydro Series H115i

The H115i requires a case with mounting support for a 280mm radiator, which typically means two adjacent 140mm fan slots. Before purchasing, double-check your case specifications to ensure there is enough clearance for both the radiator and the fans, especially if you are mounting it at the top of the chassis.

Yes, you will need to download and install Corsair's iCUE software. This application is essential for customizing the 16 addressable RGB LEDs on the pump and fans, as well as monitoring pump and fan speeds.

The H115i includes mounting hardware for a wide range of modern Intel and AMD sockets. However, if you are using a brand-new socket type released after this model's launch, you may need to check Corsair's website to see if a separate mounting bracket kit is required.

Yes, the ML Series fans use magnetic levitation bearings, which significantly reduce friction compared to traditional sleeve or ball bearings. This allows them to operate more quietly, even at higher RPMs, while still maintaining strong airflow for cooling.

You can replace the fans with any standard 140mm PWM fans if you prefer a different aesthetic or performance profile. Just keep in mind that if you switch to non-Corsair fans, you will lose the integrated RGB lighting control through the iCUE software.
