They are equipped with a high-performance motor that delivers high static pressure, making them ideal for use in high-performance PC builds. The fans feature nine ultra-bright RGB LEDs that can be controlled via the included iCUE software, allowing you to customize the lighting to match your system's color scheme. The PWM control feature allows you to adjust the fan speed based on the temperature of your system, ensuring that your components stay cool and run at optimal performance levels. The fans also feature a low-noise design, which means they produce minimal noise even when running at high speeds. They are compatible with a wide range of CORSAIR RGB fan controllers and RGB lighting controllers.

These fans are suitable for use on heatsinks, radiators, or case fans, and utilize CORSAIR AirGuide technology with anti-vortex vanes to concentrate cooling. With Corsair's iCUE software suit, you may pick numerous preset settings ranging from silence to performance, as well as a zero RPM option that deactivates the fans up to 40 degrees Celsius. The default (balanced) arrangement is already moderately silent. However, we will demonstrate all of this in the program overview.

When we turn it over, we can better view the radiator. Most modern big-tower EATX chassis feature pre-drilled holes and room for 420mm radiators, making installation simple. It measures 457mm x 140mm x 27mm.

Presented here is the cooling block. Inside is the pump. Mind you. there was an abundance of cables attached to the device. That, however, has been amended. Only one cable is connected to the HUB and one to the motherboard (pump RPM).

When we turn the CPU cooling block/pump over, we see an all-copper base on which thermal grease (TIM) has already been applied. Not precisely a mirror or lapped finish, but the performance is excellent, as you will soon discover.

The new integrated iCUE controller simplifies wiring; just one connection (USB) must be made to the motherboard, followed by the fans, RGB and SATA for power. No longer must you struggle with a tangled mess of connections, this dramatically enhances the aesthetics of the CPU region.
