My pc:
Top points:
Love the new corsair iLink ecosystem. I have a total of 10x Corsair iCUE iLink QX120 fans that includes a h150i 360mm iLink AIO.
Pros:
WHISPER quiet cooling. Can't even tell my PC is on. My previous fans were Corsair 120mm RGB's and were probably 10x louder, my PC sounded like an airplane. With these all set to "extreme" mode in iCUE, still cant even tell my PC is on.
Essentially cable free! Cable management is incredible now. I was able to remove literally 20 cables from my PC as each fan had a power cable and a RGB cable. I also was able to remove TWO pc fan/rgb hubs.
Each fan is NOT daisy chained; each fan is individually addressable and can be run at any individual speed.
Each fan has built in temp sensors to accurately display internal temp
Fans are essentially wireless
Fans are magnetic, so only need to screw in top two screws of the top fan. All three fans can be completely removed for cleaning in 5-10 seconds
Fully customizable individually addressable RGB software
Cons:
Expensive as fuck. Each fan is ~$60
Surprisingly difficult to install due to Lack of directions, the box included a QR code for the manual instead of a paper one, and the QR code was linked to Corsair's storefront webpage trying to sell me more stuff instead of the actual directions
Also, the cables need to be connected and installed very carefully in the correct order, or it will not work.
Corsair failed to fully explain that each side of the fan hub can control up to 7 fans/devices PER SIDE for a total of 14. This was yet again not abundantly clear. Perhaps I needed the manual (lmao).
tl;dr
Buy the shit. Fuck those cables.
