The lower left rear portion features a port that is used in conjunction with the 15-pin D-Sub control cable to transmit data and power from the interface slot card to the Corsair HydroCool 200 display. A set of two quick release valve inlets and outlets sit towards the bottom rear of the unit. These valves are designed to work with supplied quick connect nozzles and feature a small inner wall that locks the water and allows for the connected tubes to be removed without any leakage. This is an identical system as that found on the Koolance EXOS.

A pair of 125mm blowholes with wire grills are located on both the left and right portions of the Corsair HydroCool 200. The premise behind this design is to draw cool air in from the right side which is then blown through the fan onto the heat exchanger and out the opposite side. The lack of included filters on the blowholes allow for the unit to be highly susceptible to dust intake. Implementing a fan filter will eliminate this issue and allow for easier cleaning and reduced noise levels.
