FILLING AND PRIMING THE XD3 RGB
1. Disconnect PSU power cables from all computer
components except the XD3 RGB 4-pin Molex
power connector. Make sure the PSU is turned
OFF, either at the plug socket, or via the toggle
switch on the rear of the PSU. Connect the
enclosed ATX 24-pin PSU Jumper Bridge starter
to your PSU 24-pin ATX cable. This will allow you
to power on your XD3 RGB without powering on
the PC (Figure 1).
2. Fill the reservoir through the top G1/4 opening with
CORSAIR XL5 coolant using a filling flask to about
0.5cm (1/5˝) below the top (Figure 2).
3. Turn on the power by flipping the ON switch on the
PSU. The pump motor will be primed with coolant
from the reservoir and will start flowing through the
system. Turn the power OFF before the reservoir
is emptied. Do not let the pump run dry or without
coolant in the reservoir as this will damage the
pump (Figure 3)!
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until your custom cooling
system is full. CORSAIR recommends not to fill
the reservoir more than about 0.5cm (1/5˝) from
the top.
5. Once the system is filled with coolant, CORSAIR
recommends running it for 24 hours to remove
any air trapped in the components and to make
sure there are no leaks in the system. Once you
have thoroughly leak-tested the system, turn OFF
the PSU and disconnect ATX 24-pin PSU Jumper
Bridge. Reconnect the power to other computer
peripherals and start the computer.

FAQ
1. Can I use the XD3 RGB as a standalone part?
No, this is a water-cooling pump with integrated reservoir which requires a complete custom water-cooling
system, including cold plates (water blocks) and radiator. For more information, please visit corsair.com.
2. Can I use the XD3 RGB with aluminium water-cooling equipment?
No, you cannot. Certain parts are made from copper and brass and should not be mixed with aluminium.
3. Can I connect the RGB header directly to my motherboard?
No, you cannot. The RGB function is only compatible with the CORSAIR iCUE Commander PRO and the
CORSAIR Lighting Node PRO controllers.
4. Can the XD3 RGB pump be controlled without the use of CORSAIR iCUE Commander PRO?
While it is possible to use XD3 RGB without a CORSAIR iCUE Commander PRO, doing so will remove the
automated pump speed control in CORSAIR iCUE software. The pump speed may be manually controlled
by motherboard UEFI when XD3 RGB's 4-pin fan PWM connector is connected.
5. How many RGB devices can I daisy-chain to a single channel on a CORSAIR controller?
CORSAIR recommends you connect no more than three (3) Hydro X Series RGB devices of any type
connected in a series on a single channel. However, you can connect one (1) XC7/XC9 water block, two (2)
XG7 RGB water blocks and one (1) XD3 RGB pump unit for a total of four (4) devices. Do not mix CORSAIR
fans or RGB LED strips and CORSAIR HYDRO X products on the same channel on the controller. Use a
dedicated channel for other components.
