Corsair Hydro X XG7 RGB 4080 SUPRIM/Trio GPU Water Block - Nickel Copper

The Corsair XG7 is a full-cover water block designed to replace the stock air cooler on MSI's RTX 4080 SUPRIM and Gaming Trio graphics cards. If you're building a custom water-cooled PC, this is how you integrate your high-end GPU into the loop. It cools the GPU, memory, and VRM components directly, which typically allows for higher sustained boost clocks and quieter operation compared to the factory fans. What stands out is the build quality. The nickel-plated copper cold plate and dense fin array are designed for efficient heat transfer, and the included aluminum backplate gives the card a finished, rigid feel. The built-in RGB lighting is a nice touch for themed builds, and it syncs with Corsair's iCUE ecosystem. The main limitation is obvious: this is not a standalone cooler. You need a pump, radiator, tubing, and coolant to make it work, which adds considerable cost and complexity. At this sale price, it's a solid value for its intended audience. It transforms a hot and loud air-cooled card into a much cooler and quieter component, but only if you're already committed to the custom water cooling journey.
