Powerful CORSAIR iCUE software enables you to adjust fan and pump speeds, control and synchronize your cooler’s RGB lighting with all iCUE-compatible devices, and monitor CPU and coolant temperatures, all from a single intuitive interface

Light up your system with 33 ultra-bright CAPELLIX LEDs in the pump head and 16 fan RGB LEDs, for mesmerizing, customizable lighting effects Add an ELITE LCD Upgrade Kit (sold separately) to personalize your cooler and entire system with a vibrant LCD display With the side panels off and at idle, the coolant temp reaches about 34.5 C (Balanced preset) or 38-39 C (relaxed custom curve). So about 2 C cooler. If you only see the Commander Core, power down your system and make sure that the cable from your Elite Capellix is fully and correctly plugged in to your Commander Core. However all that said, when I ran the O11D as a dual 360mm radiator exhaust and completely passive intake from the rear and bottom, my idle coolant temps were no where close your levels. My max load levels were about your idle temps in the Winter with a similar 22C ambient. Something isn't quite right. The part I don't like is with the glass off and a 22C room ambient, it should take deliberate gaming load or hours of idle time before you should see a coolant temp creep to +13C over ambient and frankly I don't think it should ever be +13C over ambient at idle in that case.

PERFORMANCE NEVER LOOKED BETTER

In terms of performance, we are not expecting any major leaps forward with the Elite Capellix series as it is based on the same CoolIT pump/radiator combination as seen in previous Corsair coolers (RGB platinum and RGB Pro XT) so this new generation is focusing on the new RGB technology as its selling point. But is this enough to pursued consumers to splash out their hard-earned cash in these uncertain times we are currently facing?

If repairing iCUE does not resolve your issue, the next step is to see if your Elite Capellix is receiving power. If the fans are spinning, the pumps are running, and the LEDs are lit up, your Elite Capellix is receiving power.

Step one: Preparing the radiator

ML might make a slight difference (1-2C), but not really worth fussing over unless you are at a specific temp limit. The delta for gaming (39 to 50C) is basically at the +10C I generally quote as expected. It's the 39C baseline that is higher. POWERFUL CORSAIR iCUE SOFTWARE– Adjust fan and pump speeds, control and synchronize your cooler’s RGB lighting with all iCUE-compatible devices, and monitor CPU and coolant temperatures, all from a single intuitive interface over ambient at idle seems too high for me. It seems like you have the radiator as top exhaust. So bottom and side are intake? This seems like too much to be a airflow issue, but take of the large side glass off at idle and see what happens.

Premium pre-applied thermal paste ensures quality thermal transfer and efficiency for years to come. In addition to testing Cinebench without power limits enforced, we’ll also be showing results when the CPU’s power consumption is limited to a more reasonable 200W. We’ll also show results at 125W for those who prefer whisper-quiet cooling, at the cost of some performance. For both of these results, we’ll show traditional delta over ambient temperature results.

WORLD-CLASS SUPPORT

TURN ANY CASE INTO A SMART CASE– Harness the power of iCUE with the included iCUE Commander CORE to control the fan speed and RGB lighting for the included ML RGB fans, with the potential to control additional CORSAIR RGB fans, up to a total of six An included iCUE COMMANDER CORE RGB lighting and fan speed controller gives you precise speed and lighting control over up to six CORSAIR RGB fans. Once you have decided how to mount your radiator and how to orientate your fans, place your fans onto the radiator and use the provided screws to secure them in place. ZERO RPM MODE– Zero RPM cooling profiles in CORSAIR iCUE software allow fans to stop entirely at low temperatures, eliminating fan noise Temperature wise there's no issues at all ( CPU under 70 degrees even when gaming) but I wonder if it's normal or is there some issue with the pump?

This seems abnormally high, as I also have an NZXT Kraken Z63 280 mm AIO attached to my 4790K in my old build and the liquid temperatures stay sub to low-30s on a similar fan curve to the Balanced preset. I'm not sure whether Corsair is using a different type of coolant that heats up easier. On the Balanced preset, my CPU temps are pretty normal in the 30s - 40s while performing mundane tasks with occasional spikes to the 50s/60s. On my custom relaxed preset, it idles closer to the high 40s once the coolant heats up. It seems like these fans aren't very efficient at cooling the radiator, as I have to run them at max speed for 10 minutes or so to get the coolant temps down to the low 30s.Are these liquid temperatures normal? Or perhaps the 5900x just runs hot and this is a sign that the coolant is doing its job? Install the 4 Intel standoff screws into your motherboard. Make sure all 4 screws are tightened until secure. This is actually the second Elite Capellix AIO I've gone through; I returned the first due to a noisy pump, though it also had high liquid temperatures as well. Ambient temperature is ~22 C, it's winter time and in a basement. From a cold boot, the coolant starts at 25 C and constantly creeps up from there. I've tried setting the radiator fans to both exhaust and intake which didn't seem to make much of a difference. I've repasted this CPU about five times now as well.
