Review on 💧 Corsair Hydro X Series XD5 RGB Pump/Reservoir Combo - D5 PWM Pump - 330ml Reservoir - Individual RGB LEDs - Integrated Temperature Sensor - Black by Kevin Huot

I am giving 4 starts at the moment. I still have to put everything together, but in the PC I noticed that there are 7 places you can put fittings or plugs in this thing. Adding 2 fittings for inlet and outlet and 1 more for the included temperature sensor leaves 4 holes open. Only 3 plugs included. Either they expect you to have a drain point or you already have plugs handy. Corsair, if you are reading this I would suggest that you include AT LEAST 4 connectors. I'll update my review later when it's up and running and when my CPU is here. EDIT: I said I'll update this later, so here it is. described that it only has three plugs and open holes at the end of your build, and the fact that if you want to use D5 with variable pump speed or RGB lighting, you have to buy an additional $70 Commander Pro controller. . I look forward to the day when all RGB lighting component manufacturers use universal connectors so that every part of my build can share the same lighting ecosystem. If I need to use Corsair to control some lights and Gigabyte software to control others and Thermaltake to control others, EK uses whatever your motherboard uses. Aside from buying every single component from the same brand, it's a pain. Especially when the largest water cooling (EK) manufacturer can just use any mobo maker's software. All of these admittedly minor issues aside, the pump and reservoir are well made and work flawlessly no matter how much time has passed since I wrote my original review. The only other issue I had was a software related issue with the Corsair iCue crap. I can't control the pump speed with Commander Pro either and the software doesn't work for me. I just let it look full all the time.
