    Using this as a second rad in my loop. My other rad poked a hole and I needed a emergency replacement. Build quality from Corsair stuff is always good. Everything looks really clean and professionally done.

    The product doesnt come on, even the led. Every other led in the case works but not the pump. I followed the manual. After days of o gaming trying to safely setup this pump, im frustrated. I would like to return this and be refunded. It was an extreme waste of money for a long time costumer and amazon reviewe

    The system is very quite. You hear only the softest of hum if you are listening for it. These radiators are great for fitting into a smaller case while maintaining a manageable temperature.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersMon premier radiateur de marque Corsair. Radiateur fait en collaboration avec la marque Hardware Laps. Au niveau de la qualit de fabrication, le XR5 280 est un cran en dessous des radiateurs EKWB par exemple. Mon exemplaire avait des plaques de fixation des ventilateurs lgrement tordu. J’ai aussi eu des difficults avec les vis de fixation. Ce ne sont pas des vis 6-32 que l’on trouve gnralement sur les radiateurs de watercooling.
    Mais le plus important se sont les performances. Et je ne suis pas du, il est trs convaincant. Un cran au-dessus d’un EKWB 280 SE. Un candidat srieux dans la catgorie des radiateurs slim . Seul reproche, le logo Corsair sur le ct est trop voyant.

    Un bon radiateur slim

    Does it’s job sits nicely at the top of my corsair 680x the only issue i had was not being able to have the fittings on the right hand side due to the 3 ll120 fans on the front of the case but it was solved by flipping it. if you don’t like as tight a squeeze (especially after you add the 140mm fans) then go for the 240 and maybe put a 360 down the front or a 120 on the back depending on what you’re cooling. I use this to cool a 3080ti and 10700k it does a great job especially considering all the tempered glass on this case! temps are massively improved over air cooling. I had an issue of being excited opening everything to do my custom loop that i thought i had no way to screw in my fans until i checked the box again and found the screws it comes with so that was entirely my fault. Quality product from Corsair as always.

    Ho acquistato questo radiatore perch mi occorreva un 360mm slim e leggendo le varie recensione ho visto che ha delle buone prestazionale. Una volta arrivato ho subito notato come non sia un prodotto ben rifinito, difatti nelle alette si notava una verniciatura non perfetta con alcune sbavature. Il radiatore sicuramente in rame (e questo un ottima cosa) ed il prezzo, stranamente essendo corsair, ottimo. Viene fornito di viti per ogni esigenza (ma ne vengono fornite solo 12 per tipo, di conseguenza se si vuole fare un push/pull non bastano). Insomma c’ di meglio ma ad un prezzo superiore, quindi buon prodotto.

    It’s a superb radiator, especially with thick 140mm fan such as those from Silverstone 38mm thickness fan.

    Flow is pretty good, paired with D5 pump.

    Will recommend this for a 30mm thickness radiator.

    My core i3-8350K@ 5.1 never went pass thermal throttling.

    Simple to Use Radiator with Wide Range of Compatibility. Very good thermal dissipation.

    Se trata de un radiador para montar refrigeracin custom con dos o cuatro ventiladores, dependiendo si se quiere solo push o push up, de tamao 14cm.

    En cuanto la calidad, pues es buena, como siempre suele ser en esta marca, hay que tener en cuenta que es un radiador grande, si bien no es muy ancho, dado que no llega a los 4cm si que es un radiador alto, unos 31cm, por lo que hay que tener en cuenta que entre dentro de la caja.

    En cuanto a las conexiones, usa la tpica G1/4.

    De momento muy satisfecho con el rendimiento que da, producto totalmente recomendable.

    I have an i7 10700k, and a PNY RTX 3080. During gaming or eth mining VRAM temperatures could rise up to 100 degrees celsius. With two 360mm slim radiators, an XD5, and a water block for the 3080 installed in my system the VRAM averages about 74.9 degrees celsius now. While my GPU temp goes up to about 41 degrees celsius. When not gaming or mining, temps are at 21 degrees celsius for the GPU and 30 degrees celsius for the VRAM. My CPU is at around 51 max, and 36 degrees celsius at idle.

    These work great for a parallel setup because their resistance is pretty similar to the CPU and GPU water block resistance. This was my first liquid cooling build and I was nervous, but it was really similar to working on a car cooling system, and using an air pressure tester from EKWB made leak testing great. Tried my best to hide the soft tubing, but I think the computer looks a lot better and performs a lot better.

    Update 3/25/21:
    The Corsair Commander Pro I have doesn’t seem to work properly with the temperature sensor, so I just plugged in the XD5 pump into the AIO header on my mobo. Averaging about 37 degrees celsius on my 3080 and GPU memory junction temperature averages 77.3 degrees celsius now during ETH mining and gaming. CPU basically stays at 30 to 45 degrees celsius during load. Great radiators, kind of wish I got the thicker XR7, but can always add it in the future.

    Vram temperatures and computer temperatures great at full load gaming or mining.

    Conoscevo gi Corsair in passato ma solo di recente ho acquistato alcuni dei suoi prodotti (ad iniziare da un SF750, incredibilmente silenzioso) e sono rimasto positivamente (e incredibilmente) impressionato dalla qualit!
    Sono passato da un alphacool 240mm raffreddato da due bequiet silent wings3 a questo radiatore raffreddato da 2 noctua da 120mm (SLIM!!!) e facendo upgrade da una 2080S a una 3090. Che dire, 63 sulla GPU in OVERCLOCK (e circa 70 sulla cpu) in un case da 12l sono a dir poco impressionanti. Dovete scegliere un radiatore? Corsair la scelta giusta.

    yes corsair is a top name, but not known for coolers until recently..you think and hear water cooling parts, its ekwb/barrow/alphacool etc..which are nice, this is also nice. not overy thick as i feel most rads dont need to be 60+mm unless you have a MONSTER OC on cpu/gpus. i have a 240/360 from corsair on a 9900k OC to 5.2ghz and a 1080 running 2150 and i never see temps over 60 unless im stress/stability testing, games and other apps is upper 40s, mid 50s at best. cleaned them 1st thing before use, flushed with hot water and violent shaking, then used distilled water and violent shaking, then some system prep and more violent shaking before installing, used system prep for a 3days and no issues. xspc blood red coolant running bloody red and vibrant still after a month and as cool as room temps can get.

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersQueste non le condizioni in cui arrivato il radiatore, visibilmente arruginito sia nelle lamelle (alcune anche storte), sia nell’interno, come si pu notare nell’in e out del radiatore, l’unico motivo per cui ho scelto Corsair invece della concorrenza perch mi aspettavo seriet da parte dei venditori ed efficienza, tutto il contrario, rimasto amaramente deluso, ho chiesto la sostituzione con dovuto reso, spero questa volta ci vedano meglio, perch ho messo 5 stelle? Semplicemente perch una recensione di 1 stella di un colosso del mercato informatico come la Corsair non l’avrebbe letta nessuno,sper che in futuro starete pi attenti a come gestite la vostra clientela e fare un accurato controllo qualit prima di vendere questi prodotti ai vostri clienti.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersDer Radiator erzeugt bei mir einen Temperatur unterschied von 15 Grad, auch bei hohen Drehzahlen. Damit khlt er gleich gut wie mein zweiter 45mm Radiator.

    Der einzige Nachteil ist fr mich, dass er nur 2 Anschlsse hat, wodurch ich keinen Platz habe einen Temperatursensor anzubringen und der Schriftzug falsch herum ist, wenn man den Radiator unten einbaut.

    Gute Kühlleistung

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our Usersordered 2: received 1 in a sealed box in great shape, and received the 2nd in a open box, there are a few scratches, fins bent, and maybe the previous owner had tried to use it, the screw threads show signs of wear. There was some kind of liquid inside the radiator, overall it looks ok, I am not sure if it’s worth trying to return. I wished I would have know I was getting a slightly used item. I have pictures, no idea on how to post them

    Update: I ended up returning the open boxed item; because I thought the fan mounts were stripped. Upon further inspection the returned screws were smaller than the new screws that I had just received.
    I repackaged the slightly worn radiator in the new box, with the new screws, to hopefully make this right.
    Thank you for your time.

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersI use this 280mm radiator solely for a gpu (2080ti) water block. While gaming, I went from 72′ C air cooling to 46’C custom water loop and at the same time dropped over 50% in fan noise. Win! Win! No more gpu high fan noise and case fans can be turned down to half speed. I went with this particular radiator for a few reasons. The dimensions fit my mATX case perfectly. Other 280mm radiators were a bit fatter and taller. This one fits a 2x140mm space perfectly. This has 7 (1.2mm) tubes each side with a FPI (fins per inch) of 16. Compared to higher flow radiators with 2mm tubes that also come with a FPI of 20 or more, this provided better cooling at slower fan speeds. Yes, water flow is more restrictive than other rads but the thinner tubes and lower FPI provide excellent cooling without your fans having to be maxed out. It’s basically a Hardware Labs Nemesis GTS 280 but with better dimensions.

    Radiatoren hatte ich schon ne Menge in den Hnden allerdings ist dieser hier wohl einer der hochwertigeren. Verarbeitung gut genauso wie die lackierung. Bei xspc platzt diese gerne mal ab. Die Lamellen sind solide ver und es kann ordentlich Luft durch. Fr den Preis angemessen wobei dieser gerne um 10 Euro runter darf um attraktiver zu sei

    Awesome radiator, had no problems with it so far. I flushed it out before putting in my system and no sediment or loose particles were present. Comes with an assortment of screws to complete any configuration you can think of, I have a mix of 140 and 120 mm fans on it!

Have two 360s in a loop with 9900KS and 1080Ti, idle temps in low 20s, full sustained load hovers in low 30s. Using all LL120s which I read aren’t the best for rads but they’re doing fine for me.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThere is a handful of radiator selections for the corsair water cooling line with some thin, some thick, and then different measurements.

    I recommend making sure which size will fit your case as I originally got this one, the 240mm one and a 360mm thick one. Turned out the way I wanted to put stuff in my case there was no way the 360 would fit so I ended up getting a second 240mm thin one which allowed me to put one on the top of my case and on the bottom. Both of them got two fans to cool them.

    In the icue software you can make your own profiles or in the setup if you have the hydro x pump it will go through a wizard and ask which ports on your commander pro (sold separately but definitely needed for the corsair setup) has the pump and which ones have the fans.

    I found even during heavy graphics everything stayed nice and cool. The radiators can get hot which is the idea.

    As far as the radiator itself? I found it solid and really unless you are doing some serious overclocking, the 240mm radiators I found did the job just fine.

    I think this is a good time to get into corsair’s line of water cooling if you are thinking about it as early on the icue software was buggy and difficult to manage. Now I find it is very stable and while there is a learning curve, once you learn it you really do have complete control of the Temps in your computer.
