Seeking guidance on the Corsair H100x Elite RGB lighting setup.
You're facing a common challenge with Corsair H100x Elite and motherboards. It seems there are different header types—some require a fan controller while others work directly with the D_LED slot. You might try connecting it to the D_LED slot, but confirm the pin configuration (4pin vs 3pin) matches your board's specifications. If unsure, checking the official Corsair documentation or manufacturer support can provide clear guidance.
Take the cooler back and pick a model that comes ready to use. The Corsair CPU Cooler ADATA XPG LEVANTE 240 is a liquid option with 61.5 CFM. The Lian Li GALAHAD AIO offers 69.17 CFM and includes RGB lighting. The Phanteks Glacier One delivers 60.51 CFM and comes in a sleek design. Deepcool LS520 provides 85.85 CFM and is available in multiple finishes. Other choices include the LS520 WH at 85.85 CFM and the LS520 SE at 79.98 pounds.
It's amusing how the product details overlook the fact that it won't work without an extra £60, turning the cooler into something much more expensive. This feels like a prank, marking my first RGB experience. I'm fine with a little lighting if it adds value, but otherwise I'd prefer it to function properly.
It's nice to be here with Corsair, though I haven't found another brand offering the same features. This product is aimed at users who already own a Corsair RGB controller, but it's frustrating that connecting it to a motherboard requires some proprietary solutions. The Corsair iCUE H100i ELITE CAPELLIX costs 150 and includes an RGB controller, while the Deepcool LS520 is 50 less and works just as well—looks better too and comes with a 5-year warranty. I used to like Corsair before, but lately they seem to be charging too much for similar items.
