Know before you buy
This pump/reservoir combo is compatible with both flexible and rigid tubing, provided you use the appropriate G1/4 fittings for your specific tubing type.
No, you should only use this unit with copper or brass components. Mixing metals can lead to galvanic corrosion, which will damage your cooling loop over time.
The iCUE LINK system uses a single-cable connection to handle both power and data for the pump and lighting. This significantly reduces cable clutter compared to traditional setups that require separate power and RGB headers.
Yes, to view and utilize the data from the integrated coolant temperature sensor, you will need to use Corsair's iCUE software. This allows you to set custom fan curves based on your actual coolant temperature rather than just CPU load.
The XD6 RGB ELITE is rated for a maximum operating coolant temperature of 60°C. It is important to keep your loop below this threshold to ensure the longevity of the pump and reservoir materials.
With a flow rate of 750 liters per hour and a pressure head of 6.7 meters, this pump is well-suited for most custom loops, including those with multiple radiators and water blocks.
