Corsair Hydro X Series, XL5 Performance Coolant, 1 Litre (Vibrant Translucent Colour, Long-Life Composition, Enhanced Anti-Corrosion and Anti-Bacterial Inhibitors), Clear

Great coolant, used to replace the coolant in my old AIO, dropped temps by 7 degrees. Amazing stuff!

It's a conduit what is there to say

Kept my computer cool and looks nice in blue

Key Features Pre-Mixed Formula: Ready-to-use with anti-corrosion and anti-bacterial additives for copper/brass/nickel components 112. Compatibility: Works with most coolants (e.g., Mayhems X1, EK Cryofuel) but not Alphacool Eiswasser or opaque fluids 13. Variants: Clear and translucent colors (e.g., blue) for aesthetic customization 12. Pros Low Maintenance: Long lifespan (2-year warranty) and no mixing required 1. Performance: Effective heat transfer with minimal impact on flow rates 15. Cons Availability: XL5 is Europe-only; XL8 replaces it in other regions (do not mix them) 5. Price: Slightly costlier than some alternatives (e.g., €16.90/1L in Ireland) 12. Verdict: Ideal for Corsair-centric loops, but verify regional stock and avoid incompatible coolants.

It looks great in clear tubes. It's a bit of a pain to dry if you spill some - you really need to wipe it, but otherwise it's good liquid

Clear is the only way to go for hassle free maintenance. Coloured coolant may seem cool but is a nightmare to deal with. Unlike clear coolant you cannot see crud until it is too late, it stains your tubing, blocks and reservoir and almost impossible to clear if you change your mind. Last but not least. Clear coolant with basic LED lighting even in the most modest form allows you to achieve any colour you want at any time.

Does what it should

This is the second time i've got this, and I've been happy with it both times. It has a stronger smell than some other options on the market but it works well. I've never seen any issues with this fluid.

Good performance, colour is as advertized.

C'est moins cher que le XL8 qui coûte une fortune pour rien et le XL5 fait tout aussi bien. Bien sûr on peut utiliser de l'eau déminéralisée mais pour quelqu'un qui débute comme moi dans le watercooling, ça reste la solution de sécurité. Si vous voyez des bulles dans votre circuit, il faut patienter plusieurs jours avant que ça parte.

Parfait pour les watercooling mais également pour coloré à peu près tout. Utilisé dans un rameur. Cela revient moin chère que certains produit spécial et en plus le liquide et déjà traité pour les algue et ne marque pas.

je l'utilise depuis de nombreuses année, le liquide est performant et reste transparent
