I was literally flabbergasted when I saw PCCG listing the price. $265 for 3 120mm fan with the controller, $229 for 2 140mm and $85 per fan. Filling my O11 Mini alone would cost $839!!! That's almost double of SL120/140 INF cost!? I really like how much easier it is to link up the fan. No more commander pro and spaghetti mess. I'm still not a fan on how the SMD diodes looking too obvious, but I don't know if it's even possible to diffuse it even further. The price is just a big NOPE though. Looking forward to the build with these new fans!
@@MiniatureMasterClass has nothing to do with beeing poor it makes no sens to pay 50 dollars per fan . Who is insane enoth to do that instat of pitting that into hardware that gives you way more for your money .
I’ll stick with Lian li infinity fans. Only 1 cable per 4 fans, only looking at 4 cable at most for 16 fans and to me they look better. Clean enough and cheaper price
Yea the alternatives are just more affordable, look less proprietary, and arguably look better. Lian Li's are the market standard, and I love the way the new Phanteks fans look. Plus you can get them with reversed fins. At MSRP both those options can be had for less than half of that. This kind of thing is why I moved away from Corsair. They absolutely have tried to bank on the name.
After my previous experience with Corsair's RGB ecosystem, I'll wait to see how they hold up and how well they perform. Regardless, the price is absurd and I don't imagine they perform better than a lot of RGB fans... which isn't all that great.
Already done cheaper and better looking. There is a reason the Lian Li fans use a short connector on the fans. Not everyone has that much room at the end of the fans. And with new GPUs hogging 3 and sometimes 4 PCIE cables with little to no room left over, they add the requirement for another? And that price is high enough that even Corsair fanbois will have 2nd thoughts. Seriously guys, what were you thinking?
Great looking fan. Nice effects... But... Short story I can't. They do not include the 90-degree connector. At this price it should be included. It will cost you more. Right now you CAN'T even pay more to even get the 90-degree cable. Don't get this for custom cooling. You'll have to pay more for 90's. Thats even if you can get them. SO DISSAPOINTING!!! This coming from someone who has spent $$$$1k+ on corsair products. Was so deflated over getting this product!!!
I'm a long-time Corsair customer and was really looking forward to adopt the new Icue Link system. Then I saw the prices. That's when I knew that Corsair ain't gonna take my money this time. I'm not going to spend over €600 for 10 fans plus cables and sh*t. What if, in a year or so, they come up with something different and suddenly these 1st gen devices are no longer compatible? As far as I'm concerned, these new fans can stay on the shelves unless their prices come down at least 25%.
Another great video but..... $215 Canadian for three fans, ouch. If I had a 5000D case with ten fans it would be $700? This is getting out of hand. Heck $1000 for a 7000D.
The 90 degree cables are not included. The straight cable is too much when doing custom cooling. Will have to pay extra for the 90’s. That’s whenever they decide to release it.
I got mine but I'm so disappointed about the cables... they don't tell u that u need to buy the 90 degrees cables separately... and u need them bc the regular cables are too bulky to fit
Yup, and if you want to to run 4 fans (3 intake and 1 exhaust) you need another cable because the single fans do not include them. All of the cables are out of stock too
Cool fans ! Wish Corsair would spend more time to optimize the iCue software . I must use it because of my Corsair headset and ML Elite fans . If it's running ,my fps drop by 5-10% and RAM delay goes from 60 to 70ns , the worst RGB bloatware i have ever installed on my PC .
I bought 3 120mm Corsair LL fans for christmas last year for $30 each, and a Commander Core XT for $60, with is a grand total of $150. The QX120 fans (3 pack with the controller and cables) at $160 are only $10 more than the old fans. (all prices are in USD)
All corsair had to do was undercut lian li with the Fans at $80 for 3 and they would come out on top but no they want to charge almost double of the infinity fans.
I am Corsair fan boy (no pun intended) but not only is this a terrible value but the 3 fan kit does not include the 90 degree cable which makes this a very tight fit in a lot of cases. Also, the stand alone fans (single fan) that sells for $50 does not include a cable to connect it to the hub so unless physically connected to the others it is useless unless you buy another cable for $30 ($19.99 plus $9.99 for shipping). Also, all of the cables are sold out
In UK CORSAIR iCUE LINK QX120 RGB X3 120mm fans including controller costs 140 pounds. I have two radiators for 6 fans and TWELVE cables! AND RGB and power to pumpres AND RGBs to both waterblocks. COMPLETE Ratznest. This improve things a lot. I don't like being locked into a propriety system but who else is gonna come to my rescue?
Can we use the new H150i RGB with different FANs ? Idea is that block cable is the cleanest here as it is sleeved with pump hose pipe, then connect radiator only for power from the port on the radiator itself, i believe it will connect to the HUB and the HUB will only be used for power, just thinking as i am preparing a new build and I hate every cable coming out from the block in all brands in the market when it passes over the motherboard
I build entire PCs with the money I'd need to equip a big case with only these fans. I just don't get who this is for other than people who have no problem spending a solid GPU's worth in case fans ... well or PC building channels, I guess.
Aside from pricing being an issue, this proprietary ecosystem doesn't fill build voids like ARGB strips, or case lighting. Corsair has I inevitably painted themselves into a corner. Also: are the RGB hot spots visible off camera?
Can you help me, what is the power cable that runs the radiator and control? Can you send me a link from Amazon so I can purchase it? Note that I purchased a cable and installed it but the motherboard crashed
No way i could justify the cost. I did some research and filled my whole case with good quality standard-connection argb fans and a hub with a remote. It all cost less than a 3-pack of those Corsairs.
I just bought 9 of these fans 6x120 and 3x140. But cant use all of them yet. Need to wait a month untill the extra cable sets are available. They look really nice though and are really quiet. Cant want to get the extra cables so i can populate my rig with all of them. 😄
It’s either this or the lian li infinity fans. Kinda want the Corsair fans just for the novelty and “newness” of it but the lian li infinity fans look so good to me
For that price they should have made them 3000 rpm. Not sure if i could justify replacing my 6 silent wing pro 4’s and my elite capellix for worse performance just for fancy cable management that I dont have to look at anyways since I never see the back of my case
Can u do a build using these fans in O11 Evo Harbor Grey...Would like to see how the edge light will turn in that case especially with its dark tint tg..
I wonder how this will work for me, since I'm ordering a total of 34 fans for my 1000d build. Any ideas on how I will be able to connect 3 control modules let alone the pumps that are coming out given my board and I assume most on thr market only have 2 usb headers
I wanted to get these because I wanted iCue to control all my fans. but the price... also those are the biggest fan frame, I've seen. if they removed the sensor, it may become thinner
Also, what if you need three or four sets of these fans I don’t have that many USB 2.0 headers in my motherboard. In my opinion Lian li is still superior on how they do it and cheaper..
Interesting solution to the cable management issues. Unfortunate about the absolutely unacceptable price and the proprietary nature of this shit, meaning no other fans will work with it.
Corsair is great when all your stuff is corsair. I had a full corsair fan/ram build before and I could control every single LED and switch RGB/Fan speed profiles with ease. Besides, I don't think anyone would mix and match fans? People tend to use the same fans in 1 build for aesthetics
@@GearSeekers Oh I know it's the point, but it's not a good thing by any stretch of the imagination for the consumer. It's a means of locking you into their ecosystem.
@@asterfield02 Only true if you aren't budget conscious, but then again, this ecosystem is made for people who have the money to throw, so I can see it being useful for people already in said ecosystem. That said, if Corsair decides to change the connectors, then you are stuck with the older stuff if anything happens to fail (i.e. AIO) or have to invest into their new ecosystem. We've already seen Lian Li do it, and it's not great.
Ill stick with lianli especially because of the price point that corsair is pushing and it's wild. Even their new AIO you'd need to spend an extra hundred for the lcd screen.
Instead of saying this or that you should ask questions sir. Real shame that the user feedback we've been providing during the beta for these fans was not looked into.
>should add..how much cpu usage for corsair link ..... -no sata connector power for controller.. >I'm sure this more expensive than lian li > no performance review?
I can't wait to buy them when they come out because I love Corsair products but so many cables. Glad they listen to us costumer and change it up with fewer cables. amazing video keep up the great work
looking forward to see it in a build! but damn, that pricing -.- well hope it gets cheaper over time, else its gonna be a hard pass for me, as cool as it may be. not for something "normal" fans can do just as well even tho need to control it over other software or controlers or w/e
Careful not to lift heavy with your back as you did there. The fans look great, as do other options from other manufacturers, but they are all very pricey for what it costs to make them.
I just finished my build with 10xQL120 fans. Cable management was a nightmare but I got there in the end lol. Was hard to get the rear cable door closed but I managed. After it's all setup they look great! I can definitely see the advantage of the LINK system but wow the price tag is super high. It's almost double the price of the QL120 3 pack so I'm glad I still went with the standard system. I got the 3 pack QL120 fans with the RGB Hub for $139 AUD shipped each. $265 for the Link system is insane - 9 fans would cost almost $800!! At that price I'd just go Lian Li
Saw videos on these fans and the price made me look the other way. After having several QL fans RMA 'd for faulty led I decided to go with Lian Li for less cable cluttering and better cable management. The newe Corsair fans are beautiful but I'm done with Corsair fans . It's either Noctua or Lian Li for me . I hate Corsair's software with it always behaiving different and causing my light configurations to change on me . Done!
This is almost perfect. But I would rather save $200 and deal with cable management myself. After all we can all stuff the cables at the back side of the MB and call it a day
No ime questions that corsair icue is the best software for rgb. But their fans performance is just not good. Several steps behind competition. So asking that much for fans, they are going to loose customers. These days we have lian li, thermaltake, Phanteks offering good looking good performance fans, with reverse blades o replacement blades, with no cable mess and including controllers for as low as $83- $90 usd... so why pick corsair... no idea, I already got rid of them on my personal 011 xl... and I planning to get the new o11 evo xl but with 140mm fans... can you imagine using corsair fans... i could make another build withe money spent on fans
Great looking fan. Nice effects... But... I got these in on Thursday! Ordered on Newegg. Delivered June 29th. I was looking forward to using them. Short story I can't. They do not include the 90-degree connector. At this price it should be included. It will cost you more. Right now you CAN'T even pay more to even get them at this time.

Wow. I'm with the other guy who said it would cost 800 bucks to fill certain cases with fans.. no thanks! I find icue to be terrible to use on my kids pc, I even bought a pre wired case with controller and fans thinking I would save time and money, but its so bad that I just set it to rainbow puke because it wouldn't detect the right fans THEY installed, so the fans wouldn't light up correctly due to them not being listed in the menu.. thanks corsair!
Corsair is late to the party behind Lian Li and Phantek and on a smaller scale DeepCool. These are the same fan designs they have been pushing for a few years now and they are not a good design. In 3 years Corsair will catch up with the 3 previously mentioned brands and come out with their version of reverse flow fans and charge 20 bucks more per fan.
Love the concept, but there's NO reason Corsair couldn't do this with USB Type-C cabling throughout. Proprietary BS means predatory pricing for all the extra cables and connectors you have to buy to fully kit out a build with maybe 9-12 fans, AIO, RGB strips, etc. No thanks..... I'll stick with regular, bog-standard 3-pin, 5V ARGB for everything. It allows me to mix and match products from a wide range of brands.
corsair knows people are willing to pay for minimalist designs and clean systems. i really wish other pc components took this approach and would stop putting bright ass dragons and bird claws and shit on everything that nobody wants to build around because it doesn't match anything else. corsair is selling to ocd's with money and the sumbitches got me, now i just need the money
For 9 fans here in the states would cost me $540.60 (Tax Included in my State)......BRO....WTF kind of pricing is this!?!?! I have 10 fans (All White) of the older brand and I though that pricing was a booty rape. I will stick with those until they give out....If I had to replace my fans right now I would go with Liam Li....

They do not include the 90-degree connector. At this price it should be included. It will cost you more. Right now you CAN'T even pay more to even get them at this time. Don't get this for custom cooling. You'll pay more for 90's. Thats even if you can get them. SO DISSAPOINTING!!! This coming from someone who has spent $$$$1k+ on corsair products. Was so deflated over getting this product!!!
Ehh, a bit overwhelming due to the price and there's a lot better options for RGB fans on the PC markets. 🤣
And thousands of old Corsair fans pop up on eBay overnight!
😂😂
Lian li fans connect together, 1 wire, much better/cheaper
Wow. I'm with the other guy who said it would cost 800 bucks to fill certain cases with fans.. no thanks! I find icue to be terrible to use on my kids pc, I even bought a pre wired case with controller and fans thinking I would save time and money, but its so bad that I just set it to rainbow puke because it wouldn't detect the right fans THEY installed, so the fans wouldn't light up correctly due to them not being listed in the menu.. thanks corsair!
lian li is sudently a good and cheap alternativ 😂 wp corsair
i dont get why everyone calls this a game changer when lian li basically did the same years ago
Electricity and water is every thing.
Not at this price
Corsair is late to the party behind Lian Li and Phantek and on a smaller scale DeepCool. These are the same fan designs they have been pushing for a few years now and they are not a good design. In 3 years Corsair will catch up with the 3 previously mentioned brands and come out with their version of reverse flow fans and charge 20 bucks more per fan.
Love the concept, but there's NO reason Corsair couldn't do this with USB Type-C cabling throughout.
Proprietary BS means predatory pricing for all the extra cables and connectors you have to buy to
fully kit out a build with maybe 9-12 fans, AIO, RGB strips, etc.
No thanks..... I'll stick with regular, bog-standard 3-pin, 5V ARGB for everything.
It allows me to mix and match products from a wide range of brands.
So many people hating 😂 it’s dope af and they know it
HERE WE GO! YOU THOUGHT GPU PRICES WERE BAD! 🤣
Elden ring GOTY 2023
These fans are amazing but hella overpriced from what I've seen.
corsair knows people are willing to pay for minimalist designs and clean systems. i really wish other pc components took this approach and would stop putting bright ass dragons and bird claws and shit on everything that nobody wants to build around because it doesn't match anything else. corsair is selling to ocd's with money and the sumbitches got me, now i just need the money
oof this video did show up on my subscription page..
The amount of cables you have already had to attach in the first few minutes it immediately lost the entire point in reducing cables 🤦🏼
Why would any one spend so much money on fans, that has such bad performance when it comes to moving air?
Corsair you are OUT of your mind
$85 per fan but they still havent fixed the visible hotspots💀
Yea I’m done with Corsair with that price
Well Time to sell a Kidney I guess. If only they came in reverse flow!!!!
Oh, it's gone down to $219 aud
I don't understand Corsair.
Ok it's nice and clean but, why use a PCIex power cable ? Non sense ....
And the price !!!! WTF
PCIe power cable makes sense
The pricing is absolutely disgusting, i'd just deal with the damn cables for that price
For 9 fans here in the states would cost me $540.60 (Tax Included in my State)......BRO....WTF kind of pricing is this!?!?! I have 10 fans (All White) of the older brand and I though that pricing was a booty rape. I will stick with those until they give out....If I had to replace my fans right now I would go with Liam Li....
Not my PC at those prices!!! I'll keep my Uni Fans.
