RGB color lighting is becoming more and more fashionable. Most players now think that the more lights the better. All manufacturers release whole series of RGB LED products to meet the expectations of customers as much as possible. So we have illuminated not only peripheral accessories, but also key components for our computers. Corsair has just presented a new water block with support for Intel LGA CPU sockets 115 x / 1200 and AMD AM4. The XC5 block is the cheaper version of the XC7, so it is much more budget-friendly. We have a few design changes from the XC7 here, and the block itself is close 80 PLN cheaper than its predecessor. Below are some key information about the device.

Corsair Hydro XC5 is a water block cheaper compared to Hydro XC7 and Hydro XC9, and thus slightly different in design.First of all, instead of a transparent plate on the top, we have an acetal overlay with a designer cutout for RGB lighting. It is built with over

high-performance micro-cooling fins effectively remove heat from the CPU and reduce the operating temperature, and nickel-plated copper has been replaced with passivated. Its dimensions are 93 x 93 x 34 (length x width height x height) millimeters, with a weight of 190 grams. 16 RGB LEDs are set in 8 lighting zones (two LEDs per zone). RGB itself is programmable using Corsair’s iCUE Lighting Node PRO and iCUE Commander PRO controllers (sold separately).

These controllers work with the Corsair iCUE software. Together, they allow for full programming and lighting management and can therefore be adjusted and synchronized RGB in all iCUE compatible products – including fans, keyboards, etc. In the set with the block we get a 3-pin 5V ARGB cable for alternative motherboard control. With pre-applied thermal material for easy installation, the XC5 is ready to be the centerpiece of your cooling system. Compatible with Intel LGA processors 115 x / 1200 and AMD AM4. The Hydro XC5 has a standard 2-year manufacturer’s warranty, and the suggested price of the device is 299 PLN.
