Corsair H115i

Loxa · 1 Feb 2017 at 19:23

Just wondering if anyone knows if when you install a H115i without the Corsair link cable what is the default pump speed? Do you have to use the software and link cable to apply 100%.

The pump will default to ~1900rpm which is the Quiet mode. Performance mode is around 2800rpm.

Yes, you will need to install Corsair Link to change the pump profile from quiet to performance.

Ok. Thanks for the reply, another quick question. Can i increase the pump speed on it's own without increasing the fan curve & would that yield any cooling performance?

Bump, still curious.

my limited understanding is that as you increase the speed of the pump so the heat the pump generates increases. so theoretically increasing the pump speed but not the fan curve could actually increase temps.

*note: I've only recently started reading up on WC loops so my knowledge is all theoretical

Makes sense i guess.

Is it possible to keep a fixed fan RPM% set in Corsair link after i uninstall/remove the cables?

I've just got this H115i, and it's so loud! anyone else have the same issue?

Been trying to create custom profile but I'm struggling!

Do you need to do any maintenance to it? I got the 110i about a year ago, no idea if it needs draining and refilled, wouldn't even know where to start as I don't drain points.

No mate, I only replaced my H100i as the pump died, and got the H115i but I'm finding it's a lot louder then the H100i.

It some circumstances it is definitely louder than the H100i.

With my H115i (H110i GTX), the pump is pretty noisy on perf mode, and almost silent on the other setting. I don't notice much difference in temps strangely. Temps are good with 1.37v and fans staying under 1000rpm
