Corsair @ Computex 2023
Peter Donnell / 1 year ago
Corsair has a lot to say about RGB, as they’ve effectively been leading the market for the better part of a decade now. When it comes to high-end cases, coolers, PSUs, fans, and peripherals, Corsair is by far one of the biggest and best in the world. However, when it comes to syncing the RGB lighting effects between all that hardware, Corsair is in a league of its own in my opinion. And now? They’re about to prove why they’re the best, again.
As you can see in this build, there are a huge number of fans, with fans in the front, back, top, and side, as well as an AIO cooler, but where are all the cables? In most traditional ARGB configurations, each fan needs a PWM cable and an RGB cable, so there should be 30-40 cables in the build.
However, around the back, there are two, two cables, that’s it. One to the front fans, one to the top and rear fans. This single cable can support up to 14 devices, 7 per channel. However, you can daisy chain unlimited numbers of hubs to expand beyond your wildest dreams. However, it is a proprietary system, so you’ll need the lastest Corsair iCUE Link-ready fans to take full advantage of this.
It does look incredibly tidy compared to their old, cable-riddled hub, that’s for sure.
The new fans are plug and play with each other, so you can snap a few fans together in sequence, or use a series of link cables to create more dynamic configurations.
All that RGB, one hub. I can’t wait to try this out and see what kind of unique and tidy-looking configurations we can configure with it!
