FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. Is this XC9 RGB Water Block compatible with my motherboard?
The product supports most of the LGA-2066 and sTRX4 motherboards on the market. Please consult corsair.com for an up-to-date list of unsupported models
prior to installation!
2. Is this XC9 RGB Water Block compatible with older Intel® platforms?
Yes, the XC9 RGB is physically compatible with older Intel® socket types, such as LGA-2011 and -2011-3.
3. Can I use the XC9 RGB as a standalone part?
No, this is a water-cooling water block for your CPU which requires a complete custom water-cooling system, including standalone pump and radiator. For
more information, please visit corsair.com.
4. Can I use the XC9 RGB with aluminium water-cooling equipment?
No, you cannot. The cold plate is made from nickel-plated copper and should not be mixed with aluminium.
5. Is the flow direction important?
Yes, it is. XC9 RGB works best with coolant entering via the labelled INLET port. However, the product will operate with reversed flow direction, albeit with
reduced performance.
6. Can I reuse the pre-applied thermal paste on the XC9 RGB Water Block for re-installation?
Re-installation of the XC9 RGB Water Block will require you clean off the pre-applied thermal paste and apply a new layer of thermal paste.
7. Can I connect the RGB header directly to my motherboard?
Yes, you can – using the included RGB ADAPTER CABLE. See page 19 – CONNECTING THE WATER BLOCK RGB LIGHTING TO THE MOTHERBOARD.
8. 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) XC9/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 XC9 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.
