Corsair Hydro X Series XR5 360

I've ordered this item 20 days ago, from a store here in my country. Estimated date of delivering is unknown, but the stores guess currently is 06-03-2023, but that date keeps going up and up.

I know there is a chip shortage, but this is a rad? Why does it take so long time for the store to get the item fro you, Corsair?

 

It's the only thing I am missing now to start my 7000X build, I could go for another brand of rad, but I like and prefer Corsair, but I can't wait months to get started.

Now the estimated date changed to 24-02-2023

and now back to 09-03-2023, hmm..

Not sure I want to wait that long, should maybe just go look for another brand for the rad.

if you can't wait, have a look at the hardware labs GTS 360. They are the OEM for corsair radiators, and that one is very close, if not identical to the XR5 360. It shouldn't be too far off aesthetically too.

Okay, thanks for the info, will have a look at those. 

Still don't understand why it takes over a month for it to get to the store.

I think we are back to another manufacturing/supply side shortage after disruption during December and January. Things like radiators get mass produced in infrequent batches and then there are no more until another production run. A lot of newer models are hard to find right now regardless of brand.
