Can The Corsair XD5 RGB Pump Handle This?


Recommended Posts

Hi all, I'm new to the water cooling aspect of custom builds. I was looking to see if anyone has information on if the XD5 pump could handle the XR5 420mm Radiator and the XR7 480mm radiator in the same loop. A dream build of mine is to keep the parts very cool (3080 FTW3 with a EKWB water block, and a Ryzen 9 5950x with the XC5 water block). The case for these parts is the Corsair 7000D (For an idea on how much tubing would be used in this massive case). I know that the max RPM is 4800 for the pump, but still couldn't find any information on if this pump could handle this build design and how much liquid would be in it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

as for liquid volume you're most likely looking at around a liter, or close to. So you may need to get two bottles. Always good to have some spare liquid anyway.

As for the pump capacity, it won't break a sweat. you'll actually want to slow it down just for silence, and still you'll have enough flow.

Tubing diameter doesn't cause much change in flow rate. most of your fittings will have internal diameters of around 9mm, so if your tubing is 10, 13, 16mm, it doesn't make any difference.

And since you have one XR7 (54mm thick) which causes less restrictions than a thinner rad, you may actually end up with fairly high flow for such a rig.

You’re good on flow rate. I’ve run loops with much more restriction on the XD5. One medium restrictive radiator, one high, and two blocks is not an issue. Where you need to be a bit more careful is when using three radiators in the XR5 line plus the usual cpu/gpu blocks.

Thank you so much, been stressing out trying to find an answer.
