Re-use of Corsair H150i 'ELITE CAPELLIX' on AM5/9800X3D

[OverDrive]

I am planning on upgrading to AM5 in the new year and would like to re-use my H150i cooler if possible. Am I correct in thinking that the mounting between AM4 and AM5 remains the same and no new bracket is required?

Thanks.

Yes, it’s the same.
I reused mine until the pump failed (again).

Thank you!

I've been using mine for nearly 4 years ( since Feb 2021) and it's still working perfectly. Is pump failure a known issue with these units? If so, perhaps I should consider replacing it?

I’ve gone through 3 now and have switched to a Thermalright Frozen Vision, but if yours is fine then keep on using it.

I have reused the H150i in my recent rebuild as mine is still working perfectly. Out of curiosity though, if the pump were to fail would that be a notification from the iCUE software? I assume it would also flash red and the CPU would eventually throttle if I didn’t shut down immediately?

Yes and yes.

I have 2 of the h150i cappelix they are okayish and will do the job but they are nothing spectacular
