Copper Plate and Thermal Pads for Memory

The system has a copper plate and thermal pads that provide additional airflow between the fan and the PCB, ensuring that there are no hot spots, especially with memory that can potentially overheat easily. The large copper plate thermal pads are designed to dissipate heat effectively, and the micro-fin array underneath is also supposed to be very good for heat dissipation.

Proprietary Cable for IQ Link

The system uses a proprietary cable called IQ link, which allows it to connect to other IQ link supported devices, such as the new CPU blocks. This cable enables seamless connectivity between different components of the system, making it easier to manage and monitor the temperatures.

Custom Liquid-Cooled Option

One of the features of this system is a custom liquid-cooled option, which allows users to customize the LCD screen, as seen in previous models. The system also has an integrated temperature sensor that ties directly to the IQ software, allowing users to monitor their thermals. Additionally, the system can be rotated 90 degrees, making it possible to reorient the water block and have the inlet and outlet on the desired side.

IQ Link XD5 RGB Elite Pump Reservoir Combo

The IQ link xd5 RGB Elite pump reservoir combo is a 440 milliliter transparent reservoir featuring a xylem D5 pwm pump. The reservoir has 22 addressable RGB LEDs, all configurable within the IQ software. The single Link cable makes everything convenient and easy to manage.

Built-in LCD Screen on Pump Reservoir

One of the coolest features of this system is the built-in LCD screen on the pump reservoir. This allows users to monitor their liquid temps and coolant temps without needing a separate screen or LCD to find a place on their system to mount it. The Inland Outlet is also visible, making it easy to see the flow of liquid.

Custom Loop System with Single Cable

The system has a full-blown custom loop using the IQ link ecosystem, which means that there's just a single cable connecting all the various elements, including the CPU block, GPU block, pump reservoir, and fans. This makes it incredibly simple and clean to manage cables behind the motherboard.

Complex Build with Multiple Devices

There is an example of a build with 16 different RGB devices and 10 other devices connected to it. Despite having so many devices, the back of this system looks extremely minimal, with only two controllers needed to handle all the connections. This highlights the complexity of building such a sophisticated system, but also showcases the capabilities of Corsair's ecosystem in making everything work seamlessly together.

Strobe Effect and LED Lighting

The system features an impressive strobe effect that can be done with these QX fans, which creates a realistic effect where it seems like the fans are not moving at all. The fans themselves look sleek and modern, and some people might mistake them for stationary objects if they're not paying attention.

Overall, Corsair has showcased their capabilities in creating complex and sophisticated systems that can be managed easily through their proprietary cable system.

capability to control seven devices per Channel total of 14 devices you can see that we've got five fans and two AIO pump blocks all being lit up on one channel and basically the exact same thing on another Channel 14 devices off of this little thing I mean when you think about the the commander Pro how many cables and how much of a mess behind your motherboard tray would that cause to have all these devices connected in one system it's absolutely insane quite a game changer of course the one downside here is that they are using a proprietary cable and ecosystem so it's only going to be able to work with other supported Corsair devices IQ link devices which is probably expected so there is a trade-off there but another thing that they did was they actually used PCI Express there's a six pin pcie cable that's using to power this whole thing because the other bottleneck to being able to pull this off previously was the power delivery of SATA which is currently how most every RGB Hub and Fan Hub is is powered these days but by going with uh PCI Express they're able to get I think it's like 168 watts of power compared to like what 18 Watts on SATA it's just absolutely insane so that really opens up a ton of possibilities way more than what you're just seeing here this is just a quick demo for those wondering the fans that are being shown here on their aios are the IQ link QX RGB fans so they've got the QX 120 RGB and the qx140 RGB this is a 140 that I'm holding right here these are Daisy chainable you have these little connectors here you stick them in the little grooves of the fan and then you snap the fans together and voila the new IQ link aios are going to be coming included with a very long cable to support any size build this is 600 millimeters I believe but you'll be able to purchase shorter cables all the way down to 100 millimeters in length should you want to use a tidier method of connecting everything or if you're trying to daisy chain sets of fans together that are really close close together in your in your build so here's a build that's demoing the IQ link AIO right here you can see that the cable is actually tied in with the tubing it's underneath the tube sleeving and then it comes out at the end here and then from the radiator it goes straight into the fan the fans are Daisy chained together and you could even keep going from there you could have another cable connecting this to another set of fans connecting it to other IQ link devices like this the IQ link xg3 RGB this is more or less a universal GPU Block it's not a full cover block that's for specific gpus but it is going to be compatible with up to or at least 100 different graphics cards which is pretty wild while they didn't really confirm or deny it it seems like Corsair might be planning full cover water blocks for the next generation of Nvidia gpus at the very least for RTX 5000 series if that's what they're going to call it because the way they see it right now is the RTX 4090 anyone who wants to water cool that GPU already has there's no point in creating a full cover water block for it but for anyone who's kind of on the fence about water cooling their their GPU this is a really easy upgrade got a fan right there which is actually pretty quiet from what I can tell we've got the inlet and Outlet up top plastic construction all around the Shroud and then you can notice that there's actually quite a bit of clearance between the copper plate and the the Shroud that's just to allow for additional airflow between the fan and the PCB you don't want to

rotate the LCD 90 degrees if you wanted to put the inlet in the outlet top or bottom but maybe somebody else can confirm that for me here we have the IQ link xd5 RGB Elite pump reservoir combo this is
