I'm three minutes in and came here to say the same thing. I try to build absolute tanks once every 5-6 years so I can avoid this content but definitely deserves my sub.
this is way more clear than the sum of the corsair articles. i was struggling with corsair hubs, icue ready, icue link, 4000d rgb airflow, af120, sf120, ... this video gave clarity to everything i was trying to put together just using the corsair documentation.
Great video to give me a basic overview the new Link system. Amount of less cables compared to the LL 120 series plus with daisy chain is a great edition. Now need to decide on a case.
Awesome video tutorial! You can buy the longer linking cables alone. No need to spend the money buying another multi-pack of fans just to get the cables.
building my computer now, and ran out of PCIe cables ( only had 2 and the 4070super used em both) thats besides the fact ill hit up bestbuy again...but you sir have the best wiring explanation, cant say thank you enough for the video. the instructions from Corsair printed and their one video are terrible, they need to pay you for doing their job.
My question is does it integrate seamlessly with all motherboards? I have a MSI MAGB 650 tomahawk and I'm wondering if it'll work I can't find much information on it online
I watched your Lian Li Dynamic Evo XL and this video a handful of times as I slowly build my PC as I wait for parts. Lian Li is a spacious case and nine 140 fans fill case up nicely. I think a 420 radiator might be an overkill. Watching this video to make sure wiring is correct.
Awesome vide, I did find it funny when is is stated the A fans are thebmkr premium. I think the are only premium because of price. RX and LX have better specs all around and are better for radiators. I do think the QX ARGB is a bit brighter, but thays all the difference I have seen. Thank you for the video though always a pleasure to chill, kick back and listen to you do your thing. Has helped tremendously
First time ever I am building a pc, but I am stuck at the PCIe part … what must I do ? My 2 PCIe cables are for main board and GPU… I don’t have another one
i have a question i have a 2x8pin cable where one is connected to my gpu and the other one is just dangling. can i connect the dangling one to the icue link hub
what i want to know is how do you go about getting the 12 per channel. initially it was 7. Is it a completely different hub or a simple firmware update? I plan on snagging an H150i version from microcenter and id like to get the 12 per. Also does the QX 3 pack come with the white hub? Im not interested in the RX
Question, I have the exact same one except it’s the 360. Everything works and plugged in as it should be. HOWEVER, when turning the computer on and working in bios UNTIL it reaches windows the fans are on max speed until the software takes over.
Hi, great video! I have a question: I’m currently building a PC and I'm having some trouble figuring out how many cables and which sets I need to equip my Phanteks NV9 case. The Corsair package is a bit confusing to me as it doesn't list the short 90-degree cables, only the 600mm straight cables. My plan is to install eight QX140 fans and the new ICUE Link Titan 360 RX LCD liquid CPU cooler in this case. The idea is to place two 140mm fans at the back, three at the bottom, the AIO at the top, and three fans on the right side of the motherboard. Could you help me figure out which combination of products makes the most sense to ensure I have enough and the right cables? I am a little bit lost.
I have the new iCUE LINK TITAN 360 RX RGB AIO Liquid CPU Cooler and a Rm1000x PSU and I'm tried to find out how to plug the 6 pin into the PSU which are all 8 pin female ports, so I bought a Corsair Premium Individually Sleeved EPS12V/ATX12V Cable in order to connect the system hub power cable and PSU together, well when i booted up my pc, the system hub started popping and smoking, what went wrong?
@@BRAGmeds you're meant to use PCIe power. The same cable you'd use for your GPU. The one which splits into two parts and is either 8 pin or 6 pin on that end. I showed this in the video.
@@TheProvokedPrawn okay thank you for the info! I shall order another cable and I doubt my system hub works since it was popping and smoking, guess I’m going to have to get a new one, it’s not worth the risk of trying it again is it?
@@BRAGmeds I'd assume it's broken yes. You might want to get in touch with Corsair support and see what they recommend. Hopefully nothing else is damaged
glad i didn't jump into these fans when they came with no cords in a single pack lol. got a 3 pack of the RX fans last week, and have a 3 pack of QX fans along with a 150i link AIO coming next week.
I have all qx fans and aio so do i run a cable to each group of fans ? Rear fan to aio, aio to side fans, side fans to bottom fans, bottom fans to rear fan then aio cable to controller? As each port supports 14 fans now and only need to use 1 port? Thanks
So just to verify, you only had to use 1 pcie slot, from the controller? My psu only has 4 slots and my gpu takes 3 so I wanna make sure I’ll be good with my aio and 4 fans.
Hello I did everything as the video bcani csnt get the Hub to lught up. Everything else turns on like the fans and lights except the hub that goes on top of the cpu
Is that CPU fan cable supposed to come with the starter kit? I ordered 3 starter kits, and not a single one of them has that CPU Fan cable. they only come with the PCIE 6 pin and USB cable
@@tyleradmz3933it actually comes with the AIO, not the starter kits. I've watched dozens of these videos from various TH-camrs and no one mentioned it.
What's the life expectancy on the Corsair iCue Link H150i? Have you known of them leaking at all?, is there a Big risk with them? I'm really stuck in the middle between this or use a fan this would be for AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D..

Hi the pci cable that connects from the psu to the short cable connector is this a 6 pin to 6 pin male/male cable having trouble finding a cable thank you
does anyone know that if instead of getting an upgrade kit for the lcd screen, would i be able to remove the screen from an aio cooler bought with the lcd screen so basically i am swapping the the pump heads ?

iCue w/ Lian Li Strimmers Hi guys, currently upgrading my PC, I have bought a 3 pack of RX120 fans that come with a hub, 2 pack of rx140 fans that also come with a hub, a single rx120 fan and a h150i aio with 3 QX120 fans on it. My question is, will I need to get a RGB controller to connect the lian li strimmers so I can control with iCue? I bought the corsair 3 pin to RGB cable separately so I could do this but I may also add some LC100 accent lighting and thought it would work as it comes with a RGB controller so I can plug in those and the strimmer together, another question would be will the system hub work with an RGB controller in iCue? (Im only going to use 1 hub with the fans and connect the fans via daisy chain) Thanks!
I have everything connected the fans on the aio don’t spin I hear the pump burbling when starting I get into windows for like 5 minutes and the system turns off.
Are you sure it's all connected properly. Sounds like the power for the controller isn't connected. The fans should definitely spin if you turn it on and it's all connected as I've shown
@@TheProvokedPrawn found that the iCUE link cable wasn’t plugged in got the fans to spin up but computer wouldn’t stay in bios for longer than a minute and would stay in bios for longer than 5 minutes. Sent the motherboard off to get it repaired by the manufacturer under warranty. PCIe 16x pin looked damaged no clue how it was damaged. If the motherboard comes back and I still have issues it’s either GPU, PSU, or CPU
I have an MSI X670E mobo & My AIO makes it hard to connect both CPU Power cables, so I ran one of the cables from below(PSU Location), upwards (Through the IO Port Heat sink/ shield thingy. Made sure nothing is being squished... hope nothing blows up tho 🙏
Great tutorial. Corsair should just share this video with customers.
Many thanks!

The greatest tutorial ever! All I wanted was to hooked the thing up. You said one word Daisy chain and showed how to do it. Thank you sir!
Glad it was helpful!
Oh this is great. My cooler didn’t come with the stand offs but said it had everything for AM5 bracket….fantastic
Do you have the icue link titan? If so it comes with the intel standoffs already on the bracket. The regular icue link doesn’t i believe
Spectacular setup i gonna make one of these now that Corsair has release the Reverse LX ones good stuff man :)

No offense intended. I understand that the radiator is placed upside down.
In this way. Bubbles could form in the pump.
As long as the CPU block is not the highest point then that won't happen. Any air bubbles would end up at the top of the radiator.
