Know before you buy
Yes, because this unit uses the iCUE LINK ecosystem, you will need an iCUE LINK System Hub to connect and control the device. It does not use traditional motherboard headers for power or data.
No. This unit is constructed from copper and brass, so you must only use it in a loop with other copper or brass components. Mixing metals like aluminum with copper will cause galvanic corrosion, which can damage your system.
The 2.1-inch IPS screen is fully customizable via Corsair's iCUE software. You can display real-time system metrics like coolant temperature, pump speed, or custom images and GIFs to match your build's aesthetic.
The Xylem D5 is widely considered the gold standard for custom liquid cooling. With a flow rate of 800L/h, it is more than capable of handling multi-block loops, including CPU and GPU blocks, with plenty of headroom.
The iCUE LINK system uses a single cable to carry both power and data to the pump, eliminating the need for separate SATA power and USB header cables. This significantly reduces cable clutter behind your motherboard tray and makes cable management much cleaner.
The unit is rated for a maximum operating coolant temperature of 60°C. However, for the longevity of your components and optimal performance, it is best practice to keep your coolant temperature well below 50°C under load.
