I just stay far, far away from iCue at all costs.
I didn't have an opinion on Hydro X before getting back into custom loops. Now that I've done my research and looked at Hydro X in detail I'm appalled. It's horrendous stuff made of low-quality, poorly-tested designs and it looks like cheap plastic in a lot of places because it is cheap plastic in a lot of places.
I'm assuming Hydro X is selling purely on its RGBLED credentials but you can get so much better quality for the same or less money from EK or Alphacool.
However, I have several of their older AIO coolers (H115i pro & 110), and they were built very well and have been running strong for over 3 years now neveranottaproblemo :)
But I also avoid i-Clue-less like the plague,,,
And whenever I get around to buying parts for my next build (spring '21), I will definitely be looking at both Alpha & EK....
I chose Alphacool because it was about €200 cheaper than the EK equivalent where I am and almost €400 cheaper than Hydro X. For the money Corsair is asking for Hydro X, I would expect better than injection-moulded plastics and cheap castings. EK and Alphacool are offering 100% copper/brass loops with fully CNC'd parts out of acrylic/acetal that clearly cost more to make than Hydro X. If I wanted cheap injection moulded junk from China I'd buy a $200 complete kit from AliExpress ffs!
