Review on πŸ’§ Corsair Hydro X Series XD5 RGB Pump/Reservoir Combo - D5 PWM Pump - 330ml Reservoir - Individual RGB LEDs - Integrated Temperature Sensor - Black by Amy Cook

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Average Corsair product.

Average product from Corsair Very cheap plastic feel, very easy to damage G1/4 threads. The included connectors felt very cheap and ugly, the RGB isn't that outstanding. The effects are just average and personally I would have expected a better RGB frlm from Corsair. Cable routing is a nightmare as the RGB is at the top of the pump so you have 2 wires at the bottom (a 4 pin Molex, a PWM, a temp sensor) and 2 more wires at the top (a male and a female RGB). ). definitely needs an overhaul. Otherwise the pump is good, gives good pressure, the brackets are metal and I'm happy with the design. Installation is easy and the packaging is very nice. Unless you're as hopelessly addicted to the Corsair cult as I am, you might want to look into another pump/resistor combo that uses a higher quality material.

Pros
  • Manufactured by

  • Not bad, but...
