1. Is this XC5 RGB (1200) Water Block compatible with my motherboard?
The product supports most of the LGA-1200 motherboards on the market. Please consult corsair.com for an up-to-date list of
supported models prior to installation!
2. Is this XC5 RGB (AM4) Water Block compatible with my motherboard?
The product supports most of the AM4 motherboards on the market. Please consult corsair.com for an up-to-date list of supported
models prior to installation!
3. Is this XC5 RGB (1200) Water Block compatible with older Intel
®
platforms?
Yes, this XC5 RGB is physically compatible with older Intel
®
socket types, such as LGA-1150, -1151, -1155 and -1156.
4. Can I use XC5 RGB Water Block as a standalone part?
No, this is a water-cooling cold plate for your CPU which requires a complete custom water-cooling system,
including a standalone pump and a radiator. For more information, please visit corsair.com.
5. Can I use the XC5 RGB Water Block with aluminium water-cooling equipment?
No, you cannot! The cold plate is made from copper and should not be mixed with aluminium.
6. Is the fl ow direction important?
Yes, it is. XC5 RGB Water Block works best with coolant entering via the labelled INLET port.
However, the product will operate with reversed fl ow direction, albeit with reduced performance.
7. Can I reuse the pre-applied thermal paste on XC5 RGB Water Block for re-installation?
Re-installation of the XC5 RGB Water Block will require you clean off the pre-applied thermal paste
and apply a new layer of thermal paste.
8. Can I connect the RGB header directly to my motherboard?
Yes you can – using the included RGB ADAPTER CABLE. See page 17 - CONNECTING THE WATER BLOCK RGB LIGHTING
TO THE MOTHERBOARD.
9. How many RGB devices can I daisy-chain to a single channel on a CORSAIR controller?
CORSAIR recommends you connect no more than three (3) Hydro X Series RGB devices of any type
connected in a series on a single channel.
However, you can connect one (1) XC5/XC7/XC9 water block, two (2) XG7 RGB water blocks and one (1) XD5 RGB
pump unit for a total of four (4) devices.
Please note that due to the absence of a daisy chain connector, the XC5 RGB should be the last link in the chain.
Do not mix CORSAIR fans or RGB LED strips and CORSAIR HYDRO X products on the same channel on the controller.
Use a dedicated channel for other components.
