Overview
The Corsair iCUE H150i ELITE LCD XT is a 360mm all-in-one liquid CPU cooler that stands out with its 2.1-inch IPS LCD display on the pump head. You can show system stats, custom images, or even animated GIFs via the iCUE software. It delivers excellent thermal performance for high-end CPUs while adding a unique visual flair to your build.
Key Features
- 2.1-inch IPS LCD screen (480×480 pixels) on the pump head – fully customizable with iCUE software for system monitoring or personal artwork
- Three AF ELITE RGB 120mm fans included – high static pressure design optimized for radiator cooling
- Pump speed up to 2,400 RPM – balances quiet operation with strong cooling capacity
- Copper cold plate and dense fin array – handles Intel Core i9 and AMD Ryzen 9 series under heavy loads
- Full iCUE ecosystem support – synchronize RGB lighting and fan curves with other Corsair components
Compatibility Guide
- Supported sockets: Intel LGA1700 / 1200 / 115x, AMD AM5 / AM4
- Radiator dimensions: 394mm × 120mm × 27mm – requires a case with 360mm radiator support (top or front mount)
- Total thickness with fans: approximately 52mm (25mm fan + 27mm radiator). Verify case clearance before purchase
- Pump head height: about 56mm – generally no interference with RAM, but check with tall heatsink memory modules
- Power connections: one SATA power for pump, three PWM fan headers, one USB 2.0 header for RGB/LCD control
Ideal Builds
- High-end gaming PCs or creator workstations where the CPU is under sustained heavy load
- Enthusiasts who want a personalized look with a custom LCD display inside their case
- Systems using high-TDP CPUs (e.g., Core i9-13900K, Ryzen 9 7950X) that exceed the capabilities of most air coolers
Upgrade Considerations
- Ensure your case supports a 360mm radiator – measure available space and check mounting options (top vs. front)
- The LCD screen requires the iCUE software running in the background for custom content; be aware of resource usage if you prefer minimal software
- When switching from an air cooler, re-evaluate your case airflow – the radiator needs a clear intake or exhaust path to perform optimally
- This cooler only affects CPU temperatures; GPU cooling is handled separately by your graphics card's cooler
