CORSAIR, a leading global provider of high-performance PC components and peripherals for gamers, content creators, and PC enthusiasts, has launched the innovative iCUE LINK smart component ecosystem, designed to revolutionize and simplify the PC building process. This new system promises to significantly reduce build times and cable clutter, making DIY PC construction more accessible than ever before.

Streamlined Connections and Reduced Clutter

iCUE LINK transforms the PC building experience for both seasoned builders and newcomers. Its patent-pending single-cable power delivery technology can cut build times by up to 50% while dramatically minimizing cable management compared to traditional methods. Say goodbye to tangled wires, multiple hubs, PWM splitters, and messy RGB connections – iCUE LINK streamlines the entire process for a cleaner and more efficient build.

Intelligent Control and Enhanced Performance

Each iCUE LINK component houses a microcontroller that communicates with a System Hub, creating a highly intelligent system with exciting new possibilities. Features like Time Warp RGB mode utilize a strobing effect, creating the illusion of fans standing still or spinning in reverse. Furthermore, users gain unprecedented control over fan curves, optimizing noise levels and performance based on individual needs.

A Comprehensive Ecosystem of Components

iCUE LINK supports a wide range of components, including fans, AIO coolers, custom cooling components, and more. This comprehensive ecosystem allows for quick, easy, and clean PC builds. All iCUE LINK devices connect in a daisy chain to the System Hub, with each device requiring only a single cable. Reversible and universal connectors eliminate the hassle of searching for compatible cables, splitters, or adapters.

Initial Product Launch and Future Expansion

The first wave of iCUE LINK products, launching in June 2023, will include new fans, AIO coolers, and the System Hub. The patent-pending QX120 and QX140 RGB fans are the world’s first fully digitally addressable fans, featuring a proprietary Magnetic Dome bearing, a digital temperature sensor, and four lighting zones. The high-performance iCUE LINK RGB series AIO coolers boast impressive LED lighting and hidden cabling for a sleek, streamlined aesthetic.

Expanding to Custom Cooling and Beyond

The Hydro X Series custom cooling line will also receive iCUE LINK compatible components, including CPU and GPU blocks, and pump/reservoir combos, slated for release in Q3 2023. CORSAIR plans to continually expand the iCUE LINK ecosystem with more products, further simplifying the PC building process for all users.
