corsair lcd display made in china
Overall Review: This device has all the quality one may expect from a Corsair product, and comes with everything you might need to install on various motherboard types.
Mounting was difficult for my case, as the tolerances were very tight as to mounting hole placement. Both Corsair and my case manufacturer could do with a little bit of flexibility on this.
As much as I like this I really wish Corsair would dedicate more resources to it. The provided documentation is alright, it isn"t a confusing device to setup as plugging it in with its basic settings worked immediately. The lighting can be rather harsh but it is easily adjusted.
So what I meant about Corsair putting more resources towards this? It would"ve been nice to find actual support for the device from Corsair. Such as basic downloadable profile schemes for well known games available. Or a space for users to provide such things within Corsairs environment. To that end, a link or in-app (Corsair"s ICUE software) tab/window to these possible resources with a user voted rating system in place.
I got this specifically for macros as well as to keep an eye on my CPU load & temperatures with a very minimal screen that I could easily glance at without needing to keep something on my desktop open/always on top. But you can display all manner of information on it like fan information, time, volume control, macros, G-Keys, Links, DPI adjustments for your mouse, RGB lighting/profile controls, voltage, etc etc.
3. Sometimes the Corsair Nexus will receive power even after shutting down or if the electrical power flickers in your home which causes the small screen to turn on and sit at it"s default. Unplugging it will resolve this.
This 240mm cooler comes with socket support for the latest AMD and Intel processors, including AMD’s Threadripper processors. Pulling heat away from your CPU with a copper cold plate, it pumps liquid into a 240mm radiator fitted with two Corsair ML Series 120mm fans. It runs quietly and efficiently when your CPU is running cool, and it tops out at 37dBA when running at maximum (75CFM).
Managing the AIO cooler is also simple. You can control fan and pump speeds from within Corsair’s iCUE software right on your PC, and monitor CPU temperature to make sure your settings are giving you optimal performance. If visual flair is also your thing, the pump has 16 RGB LEDs on the head, and you can manage each light with the iCUE software, too. Corsair is a well-known and respected brand, and there is a reason for that. This is a high-quality liquid cooler, which is why it gets our top spot.
If you need the biggest, most powerful liquid cooling unit, look no further. The Corsair iCUE H150i Elite LCD has a large, 360mm radiator to handle the hottest CPUs and the highest overclock speeds. The Corsair ML RGB Elite fans can adjust to higher or lower levels, according to the moment’s cooling needs.
As far as lighting, the fans’ RGB lighting can also be adjusted with Corsair’s iCUE software, but the unit really raises the bar with the pump’s 2.1-inch IPS LCD display. It has 8-bit color depth for millions of color options. The display can show visual effects, and even GIFs or memes, all at 30fps (and, of course, it can display handy system performance data, like your CPU temperature).
There’s a good amount of RGB lighting on display here as well, although it’s not as flexible as other options on this list. Both fans sport RGB light rings and the pump includes a transparent window with RGB lighting inside.
Several cooler manufacturers have displays, but NZXT’s Kraken Z63 truly stands above the rest. The display contains important information like the CPU and GPU temperatures, but you can also have it display animated GIFs and other things, letting you truly personalize your setup.
The Kraken Z63 isn’t lacking in power, either, as it comes with a powerful pair of 140mm fans and an advanced Asetek water pump. If you like the idea of having a display, but don’t need tons of RGB light flooding your system, this is the one.
Corsair has announced the launch of its brand new Elite AIO CPU coolers which come with an LCD panel integrated on top of the CPU block. In addition to the new AIO coolers, Corsair has also given their ML-Series fans an upgraded design along with giving existing Elite Capellix cooler owners the option to add an LCD panel on their coolers.
The Corsair Elite AIO CPU coolers come in three flavors, the H170i ELITE LCD (420mm), H150i ELITE LCD (360mm), and H100i ELITE LCD (240mm). All three models come with a 2.1" LCD panel on the head of the pump which can be used to display important metrics such as temperatures, fan RPM & pump speeds. But for those who want more customization, don"t worry as Corsair also adds in the option to customize the LCD with images and even GIFs. The ring encircling the LCD is also RGB compliant and features 24 individually addressable RGB LEDs that can be customized through the Corsair iCUE software suite.
As for the Elite AIO cooler itself, Corsair has included it"s brand new ML RGB ELITE Series fans which feature magnetic levitation technology while the pump itself is seated over a copper cold plate that has been thermally optimized and comes with pre-applied thermal paste. The pump ensures a low noise output and the new coolers are compatible with almost every brand new socket types such as LGA 1700, LGA 115x, LGA 2066, AM4, and sTRX4.
The new H100i ELITE LCD, H150i ELITE LCD, and H170i ELITE LCD are also equipped with new ML RGB ELITE Series fans, delivering powerful concentrated airflow with the performance of magnetic levitation bearings and AirGuide technology, illuminated by eight individually addressable RGB LEDs per fan.
The ML RGB Elite fans on the Corsair Elite AIO coolers operate at 450-2000 RPM (ML120 RGB Elite) and 400-1600 RPM (ML140 RGB Elite). The ML RGB ELITE fans are available in multi-fan packs with an included iCUE Lighting Node CORE controller, or as single fans to further expand your system’s cooling.
Corsair"s entire ELITE AIO LCD lineup is available starting now, featuring a 6-year warranty while the fans and LCD upgrade kits are backed by a 2-year warranty The prices for each Elite LCD cooler are mentioned below:
However, the software, is an absolute hell. The iCue software that Corsair has developed, while slick and has a friendly UI, sometimes you just want to rip your hair out. For whatever reason, it conflicts with the LCD screen, which is meant to be the main feature of this product, meaning the majority of the time you won’t even get to use it. I got to only a couple times, and it’s really fun to have whatever gif or image you want playing, so it’s incredibly disappointing when it doesn’t work. I know it’s iCue itself, because whenever I reboot the PC or even click to Shut Down, the LCD will briefly spring back to life, it’s only once the computer seemingly detects the iCue software that it suddenly stops working. And now, after about a month of usage, I started getting the problem of iCue no longer detecting the cooler, which is something that I’d heard about, and so far any solution articles that Corsair has available don’t seem to work (it’s not very hopeful to see that on average only about 10-30% of people find the articles helpful). Thankfully, given the fact that I can see the error symbol that I’m all too familiar with at this point, and running high-demanding games while observing CPU temp, I’ve come to the conclusion that the cooler is indeed still working and receiving power (this alone is why I’m so happy to praise the hardware).
However, if you don’t want to deal with the software hellscape that is iCue, not the disappointment of paying extra for a feature that doesn’t seem to work, I’d say get the non-LCD model of this product. Just don’t forget that there is also a chance that it will lose detection.
This All-in-One (AIO) liquid cooler delivers the highest cooling potential of any Kraken. Show CPU/GPU temperatures or customize with GIFs with the Kraken Z LCD display.2.36” LCD screen capable of displaying 24-bit color
Corsair’s new iCue Nexus touch-control LCD display is definitely a niche product, aimed at those with Corsair peripherals and RGB-laden components. But if you do have a number of devices that are controlled by the company’s iCue software (like peripherals, fans, or the company’s LT100 Smart Lighting towers), it’s like a cross between an Apple Touch Bar and an Elgato Stream Deck Mini for your gaming PC.
At $100/£90, it’s an expensive accessory, especially if you don’t already have lots of compatible Corsair products. And for those looking to launch programs and do other PC-related things with a press, the aforementioned Elgato Mini is a better option (with a much more robust ecosystem) at a similar price. But for those who like to frequently switch up their iCue lighting settings and/or monitor your system stats at a glance, it’s well worth considering.
That said, there is definitely room for improvement. The viewing angles on the screen are pretty bad by today’s display standards, though that’s not generally a problem when you’re sitting in front of your keyboard with the iCue Nexus attached. The bezels around the display are also large, giving the whole thing a dated, boxy look.
That said, you can rest assured that in most normal use cases, the screen looks OK and is easier to read than it often looks in photos. But if you were going to put the iCue Nexus to one side on your desk or place it on your nearby desktop PC, you’re likely going to deal with viewing angle issues. And while the screen is ample enough for taps and swipes, it’s hard not to wish the display filled up more of that blank black bezel space.
Again, you could get lost in the customizability here, and Corsair says there will be custom screens available for specific games available after launch. So the iCue Nexus should get better as time goes on. If the company’s robust community of RGB lighting profile makers are any indication, there should soon be lots of options for downloading other people’s Nexus control setups. Exporting is also an option in the iCue software.
That doesn’t make the Nexus bad, but it does make me hope for a 2.0 version to follow suit. And if you balk at the idea of spending $100 on a keyboard accessory that lets you mostly do things you could already do on your monitor with software, that’s a fair point. But there’s also plenty of appeal in being able to change up your lighting with a tap, poke to launch your favorite games or websites, and just add another display to play with.
The staff at Tom’s Hardware wholeheartedly believes you can never have enough screens in your PC life. I just wish the iCue Nexus’ display were a bit bigger so I didn’t have to look down at those blocky bezels.
