Corsair's H115i Platinum uses a CoolIT cooling solution, as opposed to Asetek's Gen5 and Gen6 pumps that were used on previous iterations of Corsair closed-loop liquid coolers (or AIOs). The H115i Platinum also comes with a whole lot of RGB LEDs for the Corsair fans and the cooler pump block, using iCUE as a defining feature when compared to competition, like NZXT's Kraken X62 or EVGA's CLC 280. These charts and benchmarks contain some of the best AIO coolers for PCs and should be helpful in choosing a CPU cooler.
