Corsair XR7 480mm Water Cooling Radiator

As with nearly all Corsair products, you can immediately feel the quality of the product as soon as you pull it out of the box.

Performance wise, there is no question this is a 5/5 star product, and if that were the only criteria I’d leave it at that, however being that if you are here you are most likely doing custom liquid cooling, there are other factors which need to be considered which downgrades this to 4 stars for me.

Aesthetically, I like the clean logo look on the side, as I’m not really a huge fan of having the corsair name itself shown if only because when installing the radiator the actual name ends up being upside down which is annoying to look at.

Build wise, this is a hefty piece of equipment, and honestly if I could have felt/seen how big this size radiator was, I would have gone with another brand. The piece itself is way thicker than it has any need to be considering their other lines for the 360mm are much thinner for arguably the same performance.

When building in my case (Phanteks 719), I was barely able to fit in the radiator with two other ones, and it caused me no small amount of issues with my loop since the clearance was not the best even with a case designed to support it. Fortunately the fans I had were a bit thinner than some other brands which let them sit nicely without overlapping too much.

All in all, great product, wish they would have made it thinner, but would not recommend.

CPU and RTX 3080 water block on this. Temps don’t go over 55C.

Parfait arrivé en bonne état comme prévu !

The radiator is pretty beefy, but it keeps my i9 13900k cool around 85c under benchmarks which is really good considering the 13900k runs hot.

Hi. I haven’t tested the rad yet so I can’t speak for how it performs, but from the results I have seen online and what I know about this rad then I have high expectations. I bought two of these, leak tested them with an air tester (both passed) and then installed them in the top of a Corsair 1000D with 4 be quiet! SW3 1450 rpm fans on each. The quality of these rads far exceeded my expectations and the packaging was great, much better than Hardware labs rads which these are a rebrand of, just with better quality control which shows.

On most builds this would be a super easy install with the right case but on mine due to how wonderfully thick the radiator is I had to space the case out. If it easily fit I would rate a 5 for sure. Nice heavy quality construction, good coating and inserts like somebody cared. The two I have are easily twice as heavy as the other ‘china’ cheapo’s I replaced them with, and are at least a full inch thicker. On smaller cases make sure it will fit in there without hitting anything!
