Frequently Asked Questions
What CPU sockets does the H170i Elite XT support?
It supports Intel LGA 1700 and AMD AM5 — the two current mainstream sockets for Intel 12th/13th/14th gen and AMD Ryzen 7000/9000 series respectively. Earlier sockets like LGA 1200 or AM4 are not listed as supported.
Does the 420mm radiator actually make a measurable difference over a 360mm cooler?
Yes, with measurable consequences. The larger radiator surface area — roughly 17% more than a 360mm — increases heat dissipation capacity, which translates to lower steady-state temperatures under sustained loads like rendering, compilation, or extended gaming. The delta is most noticeable on high-TDP chips (200W+) where a 360mm begins to approach thermal saturation.
What is Zero RPM mode, and when should I use it?
Zero RPM mode allows the fans to stop completely when CPU temperatures are low enough that active cooling isn't required — typically at idle or light loads. The result is complete silence during desktop use. Fans spin back up automatically when temperatures rise. It's enabled and configured through the iCUE software.
Is the iCUE software required for the cooler to function?
The cooler operates without iCUE, defaulting to standard PWM temperature-based fan control. iCUE is required to configure Zero RPM mode, set custom fan curves, manage RGB lighting, and use the LCD display for custom images or GIFs.
Is thermal paste pre-applied?
Yes — CORSAIR XTM70 premium thermal paste comes pre-applied to the cold plate. For most installations you can mount directly without applying additional compound.
