Hey everyone,
I had my sights on the Corsair iCUE H150i ELite Capellix. I love the way it looks... RGB's and all. Seems to come with a pretty awesome control panel. Only it's pretty hard to find. Which is making me wonder why isn't everyone selling it if it's all that great?

What do you think is comparable or better?

ASRock B650 PG LIGHTNING ATX AM5 Motherboard
AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 4.2 GHz 8-Core Processor
Corsair Vengeance RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL36 Memory
Corsair iCUE 5000D RGB AIRFLOW ATX Mid Tower case

Thank you!

It doesn't sell great because price is twice that of comparable AIOs. It's not even as fancy as some other ones for comparable price. All other manufacturers also have (A)RGB models while lighting can be controlled with SW supplied by MB manufacturer or 3rd party programs. That one is plain RGB and ARGB gives much better lights because all LEDs have all 3 colors in one LED, RGB has 3, each for one color. ARGB has more hues and each LED can be controlled separately, so much better experience. Your MB has ARGB prts so it would be pity not to use them.
Take a look at some of best performance coolers.

Having had an Corsair and Arctic AIO in the last 4 years... neither is perfect lol. Both died within 2 years... maybe they hate me.

Corsair lock you into their eco system when you buy their stuff, Icue can be a pain. Enough to not want Corsair in next PC... but they make good ram.
Their fans look pretty but they aren't the best at cooling, its more looks. And they charge you for it.


Arctic is at opposite end and you can buy them cheap. I had problems with their fans being noisy... enough I replaced the fans, but pump died soon after.

I don't know who makes best AIO... I clearly never found them

could be one of these

Cause it released 4 years ago. Corsair moved on.
Looking through Corsair's website, looks like it was succeeded by the Titan series.
