Corsair ICUE-ELITE user manual

Yes, the Corsair iCUE H100i Elite Coolers come with pre-applied thermal paste on the CPU cooling block. This eliminates the need for users to apply thermal paste themselves.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find any information regarding the specific compatibility of the Corsair iCUE H150i Elite Capellix with the LGA 1700 socket. As of now, the LGA 1700 socket is relatively new, introduced with Intel's 12th generation Alder Lake processors. Therefore, it's best to refer to the official Corsair website or contact their customer support to confirm the compatibility of the cooler with this specific socket.

The cooling settings in iCUE allow users to control and adjust the performance of their Corsair iCUE-compatible cooling devices, such as CPU coolers and fans. Some of the cooling settings available in iCUE include:
1. Fan Speed Control: Users can set custom fan curves to adjust the speed of their cooling fans based on temperature thresholds. This allows for precise control and optimization of cooling performance.
2. Temperature Monitoring: iCUE provides real-time monitoring of CPU and GPU temperatures, allowing users to keep track of their system's thermal status.
3. Profile Customization: Users can create different cooling profiles based on their needs, such as silent mode for quiet computing or performance mode for intense gaming sessions. These profiles can be easily switched within the iCUE software.
4. Pump Speed Control: If you have a Corsair liquid cooler, iCUE enables control over the pump speed to ensure efficient cooling of your CPU.
5. Lighting Synchronization: iCUE allows users to sync the RGB lighting of their Corsair cooling devices with other Corsair RGB components or peripherals, creating a synchronized and visually appealing setup.
Overall, the cooling settings in iCUE provide users with a range of options to customize and optimize their cooling performance, ensuring their system runs at optimal temperatures.
