Product Showcase
In the kit bundle, everything is carefully packed and padded before being bundled safely in the box. So let's take a look inside to see what we'll discover and how much effort we'll have to put into putting this kit together.
When you open the package, you'll notice the liquid cooling unit, which is comprised of the radiator, fan, tubing, and pump/cooling block, among other components. Of course, the majority of them are pre-assembled and ready to use. Interstingly, there is no need to install or attach the fans as that has been done for you.
You'll spot a backplate that supports a wide variety of CPU sockets. Intel LGA 1700, 115x, 1366, 2011, 2066, and AMD AM2, AM3, AM4, AM5 based processors can be used in combination with this cooler.

You'll spot the cooling unit consisting of the radiator assembly, fan, and brackets + backplate that support an extensive range of AMD and Intel processors.
Here we have the package showing the radiator unit and block/pump; we'll need to mount the variable QX RGB series fans (3x 120mm). The fans are re-wired onto the included core commander controller. With Corsair's iCUE software, you may regulate it and set up your RPM preferences and, of course, RGB preferences. We'll show that later on in the article.
Here we have the LINK hub which you connect to a USB header on the motherboard and powered by a 6-pin PEG header from your power supply.
A little thermal paste is pre-applied on the cooler for you. I do wish that manufacturers would add a little extra for reserve in a syringe.
There will not be leading any cables from the cooling block, all are routed already through the tubing. You need to connect and daisy chain everything. Small tip, don't forget top hook up the USB connector as spotted on the radiator, that one of communicating with the LCD screen (I forgot this on the first install and had been puzzling why I could not control the LCD with iCUE).
