Corsair iCUE LINK TITAN 240 RX RGB AIO Liquid CPU Cooler Review

A Closer Look

The first thing I love about the Corsair Titan is that it comes largely pre-assembled, more so than most AIO coolers anyway. The fans are pre-installed, so that’s one job I don’t have to do, and there’s a pre-installed Intel mounting kit, but of course, if you’re using AMD, you’ll have to remove that and put on the AMD bracket that’s included in the box.

The new fans look stunning, with a robust frame design they’re pretty rigid, and come pre-fitted with anti-vibration rubber mounts, and tightly closed-up edges to prevent air from leaking out rather than passing through the radiator.

The fans come with these unique lightbars on the side too, one side is blank frosted plastic, so you could easily add your own customisation to this if you wanted.

While the ones on the other side have the Corsair logo. But it’s upside down, right? Don’t worry, these panels pop off and you can flip them over to suit your build orientation.

These fans are also equipped with their new connecting system, with a sort of USB-type post on the side.

The fans come with proprietary link cables and a little female-to-female socket that allows you to daisy chain the fans.

The pump is pretty big, sitting taller than most, but it looks great with that frosted plastic finish and magnetic top which can be rotated to suit the orientation of the pump.

The tubing features a premium quality braiding, and really nice textured fittings too, keeping in line with the premium design and quality we’ve come to expect from Corsair.

The cold plate is massive, so providing coverage for the largest supported CPUs certainly won’t be an issue. It also comes with this cool design on the thermal paste, which comes pre-applied and ready to install.

As you can see, the Intel bracket is pre-installed, with all the screws pre-fitted too, so it’s just a case of grab the backplate, score this into it, and you’re pretty much good to go.

The included cables are quite thick, but all feature a durable rubber sleeving, and it’s a single cable that controls both the ARGB lighting and PWM of the fans, but as I said before, you can daisy chain up to 11 compatible products with these cables, which is pretty amazing!

There are some with straight connectors and some are L-shaped, so it’s easy to integrate them into your build.

The backplate is quite slim, but it’s fully metal so very sturdy and the adhesive around the fittings will make it very easy to install.

Finally, we have the hub, which is pretty self-explanatory, and provides the fans with power, PWM and ARGB, but also allows you to control them with the iCUE software.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
