Review on Corsair Hydro Pump Reservoir Combo Computer Components by Jesus Cordova

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Solids Pump/Reservoir Combo

The pump is working very well so far and the reservoir light looks good. Conveniently includes everything you need to mount the tank, allowing you to mount it with a variety of mounting options including to a heatsink, fan, directly to a case, and more. also includes a clip to start the pump without powering the rest of the PC, useful when filling the circuit for the first time. They may include an extra plug or two, otherwise they'll suggest you're using a temp probe to fill one of the ports (I'm sure most people will use this, but something to note). Also note that while the pump and lights work as separate devices, you'll need the Corsair Commander Pro to adjust the lights and other settings, or it'll just go through the standard color cycle. Most people will find the Corsair XD5 more than adequate for a CPU, a GPU or two, and even multiple heatsink circuits. Temperatures and water flow in my circuit, which includes two GPUs, a CPU, a 480 heatsink, a 140 heatsink, and a 280 heatsink, are good so far. Use clean distilled water with a few drops of PT Nuke Biocide as a coolant. I bought this to expand and upgrade my current water cooling loop and just installed it a few days ago. If there are any problems with this in the future, I will update this review.

Pros
  • The Xylem DDC PWM high performance PWM pump provides the perfect flow balance for your loop.
Cons
  • Expensive
