The CORSAIR company simplifies custom cooling systems by integrating the iCUE LINK into the Hydro X Series
CORSAIR is a leading manufacturer of premium computing and accessories for gamers, content creators and PC enthusiasts. Today unveiled the next generation of the world-renowned Hydro X Series custom cooling system products; with an integration into the revolutionary ecosystem with iCUE LINK smart components.
With the new ELITE range of CPU and GPU water blocks, combined pump/reservoir systems and much more. The Hydro X Series leverages iCUE LINK technology to make building a custom cooling loop as easy as possible.
Thanks to a single connection standard, iCUE LINK is now able to power the components and transmit digital communications to all devices: from RGB and RPM control to temperature sensors.
Furthermore, now the new Hydro X Series components are smart; this is because they house individual microcontrollers used to manage and send performance and temperature data to the hub and iCUE software. The reversible connectors of iCUE LINK, which can be used on all components, greatly simplify the assembly of computers and make the hobby more attractive and accessible for everyone.
CORSAIR Adds iCUE LINK to New Hydro X Series Systems: Details
Il waterblock per CPU iCUE LINK XC7 RGB ELITE also includes an innovative hexagonal cooling system; this has been improved with a design that uses laminar flow to ensure better cooling performance throughout the CPU and its cores.
A nickel-plated copper cooling plate, equipped with over 120 highly efficient cooling micro-fins, dissipates heat from the processor; while an integrated temperature sensor allows you to regulate the cooling system with absolute precision.
24 RGB LEDs positioned on the back side of the clear nylon flow chamber provide mesmerizing visual effects to match the cooling performance of iCUE LINK XC7 RGB ELITE.
Easy mounting on Intel LGA 1700 and AMD AM5 and AM4 sockets, and CORSAIR XTM70 pre-applied high-performance thermal paste – all of these form the central hub of your custom cooling system.
For those who want to add another level of customization to their system, iCUE XC7 RGB ELITE LCD CPU Water Block shares the same design and offers the same cooling power. With the addition of a sharp 2.1″ 30 FPS IPS LCD screen with a resolution of 480×480 surrounded by 31 RGB LEDs.
The screen is fully programmable via iCUE software which allows you to view system temperatures, custom images or animated GIFs.
iCUE LINK XG3 RGB HYBRID
Keep your graphics card in the cooler loop with the iCUE LINK XG3 RGB HYBRID GPU Water Block. Available in three models to ensure near universal compatibility with a wide range of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 and 30-Series and AMD RX 7900 XT(X) cards.
Il Hybrid design directly cools the GPU and memory ICs with a shared flow header; to ensure even distribution of coolant across the copper cooling plate, while a dedicated fan cools the board and VRMs.
Illuminated by 18 RGB LEDs and with a built-in temperature sensor for precision control; XG3 RGB HYBRID’s solid nylon and copper construction makes it a reliable and durable addition to your PC.
New arrivals
For customers who already own an iCUE XG7 RGB GPU water block, An RGB adapter for GPU that is easy to integrate into the iCUE LINK setup will be available soon. Future XG7 GPU water blocks will directly support connection with iCUE LINK.
To power your futuristic custom cooling system, use the iCUE LINK XD5 RGB ELITE pump/reservoir combo system. Made with a high performance Xylem D5 pump and a clear 440ml nylon tank illuminated by 22 RGB LEDs.
The XD5 RGB ELITE employs a rubberized mounting system to minimize pump vibration and includes multiple G1/4″ input ports to support a variety of setups. Similarly to water blocks, includes an in-loop sensor that provides real-time coolant temperatures. Thus ensuring intelligent control.
A version of XD5 RGB ELITE with LCD screen will also be available in the second half of the year.
