Corsair conjures up a new cooler without liquid, a pump, or even RGB.

Wait... That's even possible?!

Ahh, I remember the Gamers' Nexus review of this cooler... it was a flop.
Priced higher than already existing big air coolers, and performs worse too.
Go back to liquid cooling, Corsair! You're drunk!

Well, if nothing else, folks have a more recent air cooling option now for a Corsair-only themed build...

Meh. I can't imagine anyone choosing that when the vastly superior D15 is available for the same price.

Corsair themed build, yes?

Corsair themed build, yes?

If I were doing an all Corsair build I would still use an H115i instead of a dual tower air cooler. You could use a D15 in such applications, just swap the Noctua fans for some Corsair RGB fans. I've done that before.

Touche.

It' s on sale for 50$, plus a 20$ MIR until Friday. Looks like they really are trying to get rid f them, but at 30$, it is a steal.

I've just got this @ £35 in the UK, looks really easy to fit at first but when I come to put the screws into the retention bracket, they don't go far enough down! The spacers seem to be too big 😖

Dunno what I'm doing wrong but any pointers welcome!

Sale is back on. I wonder now if they have fixed their quality issues. This is a bargain @ this price.
