Corsair H150i PRO review -
Core i7 4790K Baseline test
Testing the cooler
Time to test. Today's tested cooler will work absolutely great with any processor from low to high-end (Core i3/Core i5/Core i7 quad-core and even six-core including up-to 130W) at default operating frequencies, of course, there's room left for overclocking as well. We have built a new test system policy for cooling benchmarks. Let's have a look at the results for the system in its default non-overclocked state. Below, the IDLE temperatures, thus your processor is doing barely anything to nothing. Just sitting and waiting in your system.
If you have a look at the chart above you can see the processor LOAD temperatures (in the non-overclocked state). We measure in a 21 Degrees C ambient room temperature. Ambient temperatures do affect the cooling performance, albeit a little bit.
We note down the hottest measured CPU package temperature.
Guru3D's rule of thumb on CPU load vs cooling temps:
- Anything up-to to roughly 50 Degrees C or lower we consider enthusiast class cooling
- Anything in-between 51 to 60 Degrees C we consider performance cooling
- Anything in-between 61 to 70 Degrees C we consider mainstream cooling
- Anything above 71 Degrees C we consider average cooling
This LCS kit thus offers performance cooling. The Hydra is forfeiting a tiny bit in its temperature delta in order to remain silent. On the next page, we'll show you how silent the unit really is.
The Corsair K70 RGB Pro keyboard is the one we’re reviewing today. It’s not the first one from the K70 series checked on guru3d. Previously those were K70 RGB Rapidfire Mk2, also in a low-profile version, and as a TKL, so overall, there shouldn’t be any significant surprise as far as the general concept goes. Corsair K70 RGB Pro takes some K100 RGB and (most of) K70 RGB TKL CHAMPION (already mentioned) features. The suffix “Pro” wasn’t used yet, so probably it was the right time for that.

Corsair M65 RGB Ultra mouse review
In this article, we review the Corsair M65 RGB Ultra mouse. It’s an optical mouse that was launched on 21st September. It’s a new release from the M65 series, which was introduced already seven years ago. After two years – the Pro edition was introduced, and in 2019 there was an M65 RGB Elite version; what do we have now?
