Corsair Retools Its Elite Liquid Coolers To Chill Intel Alder Lake And AMD Zen 4 CPUs
“This means there’s no need to purchase new brackets or replace your RGB Elite cooler when upgrading your system to the upcoming AM5 platform. The RGB Elite series also supports LGA 1700 out of the box for cooling the latest Intel 12th Generation Core processors, as well as legacy support for LGA 1200, LGA 115x, LGA 2066, and AM4,” Corsair says.
Corsair says its new coolers come with tool-free mounting brackets for quick and easy installation on most sockets, as shown above.
In addition to bundling the necessary hardware for LGA 1700 and AM5, these are Corsair’s first AIO liquid coolers to employ its new AF Elite series PWM fans. Also available as standalone offerings, the fans ship in black or white and in 120mm and 140mm sizes.
Corsair says these fans utilize “anti-vortex vanes to direct a narrow, forceful stream of air toward your hottest components, whether you use the fans with your radiator, or as intake or exhaust case fans.” It’s also promising low noise, in part through support for a zero RPM mode at low temperatures.
Here’s a look at the latest lineup and how it compares in specs to Corsair’s other Elite models…
