CORSAIR Company Introduces iCUE LINK Ecosystem of Smart Components, Featuring New Fans, AIO Coolers and More
CORSAIR is a leading manufacturer of high-end computers and accessories for gamers, content creators and PC enthusiasts. Today he presented some of the most anticipated products of the year: a new generation of cooling components ushering in the revolutionary iCUE LINK ecosystem.
With the ability to connect a wide range of devices via a single cable standard for power and data, iCUE LINK innovates PC building and cable management; redefining the way enthusiasts will create their own configuration. This first series of products includes:
- CPU coolers iCUE LINK RGB,
- the fans iCUE LINK QX RGB e l’iCUE LINK System Hub.
iCUE LINK changes the way DIY experts and beginners build their PCs. Thanks to a greater simplicity of installation and a significant reduction in the complexity of the wiring: from today, assembling a PC becomes even easier and more accessible than ever.
CORSAIR iCUE LINK smart component details
The iCUE LINK ecosystem revolutionizes the building experience by taking an unprecedented approach to building systems: one cable. By eliminating the various types of connectors, controllers and numerous cables, iCUE LINK is able to exploit a universal connector for all its components.
Additionally, each device connects directly to the next to create a “chain” of devices connected to the System Hub via a single cable, which provides both power and data for all components.
iCUE LINK RGB CPU coolers deliver stunning performance and stunning visuals. Available in 240mm, 280mm, 360mm and 420mm variants; respectively, the H100i, H115i, H150i and H170i models are equipped with the new QX RGB fans. they also have a split-flow copper cooling plate that ensures extreme efficiency.
The hidden wiring, with the connections that have been moved to the terminal side of the radiator, also improves its aesthetics; removing the cables around the pump head. The result is a sensational look for the whole system, maximizing performance and aesthetics.
Characteristics
QX RGB fans are available in 120mm and 140mm variants, either as multiple starter kits or in single packs. Rotating up to 2,400rpm (120mm version) or 2,000rpm (140mm version) and featuring precision PWM control; these fans ensure the necessary cooling power.
They also ensure lower noise and longer life thanks to the new CORSAIR-designed domed magnetic bearing. The new QX RGB fans also deliver top-notch visual performance thanks to a staggering 34 RGB LEDs placed on each fan.
Fully customizable via CORSAIR iCUE software, which are able to create a wide range of lighting effects including “Time Warp”the new exclusive mode of iCUE LINK products: a precision timed light effect that creates the optical illusion of having totally “frozen” fans.
The iCUE LINK System Hub then becomes the nerve center of all components, and is capable of connecting and controlling up to 14 iCUE LINK devices. Measuring only 2″x2″ and equipped with magnets to place it on all metal surfaces of the case, the System Hub is able to manage the entire ecosystemdramatically simplifying cable management.
iCUE LINK System Hubs are included with every RGB All-in-One Cooler and QX RGB Fan Starter Kit, or are available separately.
Revolutionizing the market with CORSAIR iCUE LINK
Starting today, the iCUE LINK ecosystem will revolutionize the DIY assembly market in an exciting and unprecedented way. Until now, enthusiasts who previously considered building their own PCs were often put off. This happened both for the perceived complexity and for the numerous technical skills deemed necessary to assemble the different components and all their wiring.
From today, by greatly reducing the amount of cables and connections inside a PC, thanks to iCUE LINK, the complexity associated with building a great PC is further reduced. So that even less experienced people are not intimidated by the construction procedure.
iCUE LINK also represents the first step in the development of a platform which will see the implementation of further functions over time. In fact, the products available today represent only the first set of solutions in a growing ecosystem that will be expanded in the 3rd quarter of 2023.
This will include custom cooling components. A sector widely considered the most difficult to approach and which currently represents a small niche in the do-it-yourself market. CORSAIR is also studying the possibility of patenting the iCUE LINK ecosystem and its proprietary connector. So as to further expand the base of possible customers in order to create a simplified standard in the DIY component sector.
