Which CORSAIR AIO Liquid CPU Coolers are compatible with CapSwap?

CORSAIR AIO Liquid CPU coolers have been at the forefront of the CPU cooler category for more than a decade now. There was a time when PC builders weren’t fully sold on the idea of having a CPU cooler that used liquid to dissipate heat from a vacuum-sealed turnkey solution. Sure, custom liquid cooling was already around at that time, and air coolers were still dominating the PC DIY market because of their price-to-performance ratio compared to custom liquid cooling. During that time, a few vendors started introducing AIO liquid CPU coolers to the market, but many of them didn’t really break the mainstream barrier until CORSAIR came onto the scene.

CORSAIR then released its first AIO Liquid CPU cooler, the H50. Technically, the Nautilus 500 was launched first before the H50. For those of you who have been around in the PC DIY market for a long time, I am sure you remember that. CORSAIR didn’t really consider it an All-In-One solution because the CPU cooler was sold as a kit. You basically have to put it together yourself, so it’s not really an “All-In-One” CPU cooler solution by today’s standards.

The H50 model was CORSAIR’s true All-In-One Liquid CPU cooler. When the H50 was released to the market, it became an instant hit for all PC builders. Whether you were a beginner or a seasoned veteran, the H50 paved the way for all AIO Liquid CPU coolers that we see now. It broke the mainstream barrier and became the new standard for CPU cooling solutions for all types of PC builds.

AIO Liquid CPU Coolers have evolved significantly over time. They have progressed from simpler configurations like the H50 with a single radiator to much larger models such as the CORSAIR H170i, which features a 420mm radiator. On top of that, AIO liquid CPU Coolers have increased in size and improved aesthetics, offering RGB lighting customization on both the fans and pump, allowing you to tailor your build to your preferences. Performance has also seen substantial improvements thanks to new technologies designed to enhance heat dissipation. An example is the iCUE LINK TITAN AIO Liquid CPU Coolers, which utilize a pump powered by a three-phased motor that boosts the liquid flow rate in the loop without increasing the noise level. With all these cutting-edge features now commonly found in AIO Liquid CPU Coolers, CORSAIR has once again led the way in advancing this category by making the pump cap swappable. This innovation not only improves the aesthetics of the cooler but also enhances its overall performance and functionality.

In June of 2024, CORSAIR announced the CapSwap feature for its AIO Liquid Cooler lineup. CapSwap is a feature for CORSAIR AIO Liquid CPU Coolers that are iCUE LINK-compatible, allowing users to easily swap out the cooler’s pump cap with different designs and functionalities, essentially letting you customize the look of your AIO cooler without the need for any tools. You can simply remove the pump cap and snap on a different one to match your PC’s color scheme and overall look.
