Review on Corsair Hydro X Series XH305i Hardline Water Cooling Kit with XC7 CPU Water Block, XR5 360mm Radiator, XD5 Pump Reservoir, and iCUE QL120 RGB Fans by Elijah Balzarini

Good product! in Fans & Cooling

The assembly was better than I expected! I bought extra 90 degree connectors in case I needed them and since my case was an iTX I definitely needed them. I changed the wheel to a 240 as the 360 didn't fit in my case. Regarding the temperature, I have a Ryzen 5 3600 with an aorus 3090 wb card. My GPU temp has never been above 70 and my CPU has been the same. I really think the fans included in the kit are for the larger case. My overall build went smoothly and I had more than enough tubes (3 sticks left so I only used half of what came in the kit). Definitely a good buy if you're a beginner like me! Update: I was experiencing high temperatures on my CPU. And it was a maximum of 83 seconds after playing 1 game in the Warzone. I reinstalled the thermal paste and applied it to the CPU wafer but still no change. After the second attempt at grafting, I decided to remove the washer from the mounting screws that the instructions said should be installed. (I've included a photo with the instructions.) After removing these washers, I immediately saw that they had changed. I played a few games and my CPU temp stayed in the 60's.

Pros
  • Individually addressable dynamic RGB lighting built into the XC7 RGB CPU water block, XD5 RGB pump/reservoir and QL120 RGB fans makes your PC stand out from the crowd.
Cons
  • No
