CPU water blocks appear to be available in two designs, one with a polished acrylic top (XC7) and another with a sandblasted aluminium trim in addition (XC9). These seem to be designed in a similar manner to their new Hydro Platinum series of closed loop liquid coolers, to allow for a unifying look across their cooling ecosystem. The XC9 product page mentions the use of 70 microfins on the cooling engine, which is on par with most flagship blocks today, but has no mention of the fin height or thickness, which also contributes to the cooling efficiency of the water block. The cold plate is made of nickel-plated copper, as expected, and the flow chamber made of acrylic allows a visual look at the coolant passing through for both aesthetics and functionality (to notice any trapped air bubbles, and to confirm coolant flow as well). There are 16 addressable RGB LEDs, which will be controllable via iCUE, and the design allows for the lighting to be transmitted in a circle around the cooling engine itself. Presumably these LEDs will be powered and controlled via a header that connects to a CORSAIR Commander PRO or Lightning Node PRO, which would likely be optional accessories. There are two G1/4" threaded ports on top, and CPU socket compatibility appears to be LGA 1156 and AM4 for the XC7, and LGA 2011, LGA 2066, AMD sTR4 for the XC9.
 
There is really no point in discussing pricing at this stage, so we will get to that when the products are actually announced. This is, for all intents and purposes, an inadvertent leak by the retailer. All products list a 24-month warranty period, which may also be region-specific.

    Interesting...about dam time these things showed up.  They do look overpriced imo and where is the soft tubing and compression fittings for those that don't feel like bending hard tubing? lol

    looks like Corsair is finally trying to break out of the AIO market - expand their line of products

    Yep, while other's are calling it a copy of Barrow which I feel is a copy of Bitspower in of itself.    On that note, I'm curious who's rebrand rad are those (Black Ice?) and what are they actually making in house or if they all are rebrands.  The CPU block reminds me of TT's CPU block.
     
     
    Edit:  I guess I should have read the link instead of just viewing the images. 
     
    They also feel the radiators could be a rebrand from Black Ice (which is great). 
     
    One thing that sticks out to me out of all the things here is the cooling plates shape under the CPU waterblocks.  What CPU will you be cooling with that 2nd block with such a small circle on it where the left image looks more standard?  Sitting here scratching my head on this one.

    Customers say CORSAIR Fittings are absolutely same as Bitspower.
    Do you know how that is important information. If someone have other info could share here.
    But Bitspower Fittings with CORSAIR Logo are much better then original Bitspower Logo.
     
    I'm not sure how Bitspower Black fittings look after few years, paint fall off or not? 
    Blocks and pump-res not fit in my taste at all, but fittings and radiators are great.
    Off course I would rather choose HW Labs Nemesis Black Ice GTS, but if no available HW Labs...
    CORSAIR would be first choice absolutely and before Bitspower Leviathan, they are same.

    Bitspower fittings and HW Lab rads?  Win-Win in my book.

    Yes only one small detail. Guys who have chance to buy HW Labs Nemesis Black Ice GTS/GTX/GTR/SR-2 should stay with them.
    HW Labs didn't made these models for Bitspower of CORSAIR, they have some OEM version LS Slim and LX Thicker radiator.
    That's CORSAIR XR5 and XR7 and Bitspower Leviathan. 
    Techpower say they are very close to Black Ice Nemesis, but maybe reviews want just little to help CORSAIR.
    Anyway even nice difference is not crucial, you can compensate with other parts and reach only 3-4C worse temps max for 2-3 radiators, for 1 maybe even 2C max difference.
