IMPORTANT NOTICE
Quick Start Guide is a general installation guide and does not cover the specifics of individual case or radiator mounting.
CORSAIR recommends you thoroughly leak-test your custom cooling system for at least 24 hours to ensure that the system is securely sealed and operating reliably. CORSAIR warranty does not cover any hardware damage resulting from poorly executed, improper and otherwise hasty assembly of your custom watercooling system.
Disassembly of CORSAIR HYDRO X products is highly discouraged due to complex
design of components.
Such action may result in irreparable mechanical, electrical or chemical
damage that may void the warranty.
For an exact and up-to-date product compatibility list, please refer to CORSAIR website.
