Corsair Icue Link H150I LCD & QX120 Review and Installation 

So happy with the upgrades and hopefully last ones for a while 😂 what do you think of the H150I LCD?

i think something else that needs to be added so people know, these qx 120s have leds on the front and back, so i cue will allow you to customize what you see outside, separate from what you see inside. as each fan has front leds and back leds. makes for some pretty amazing light shows.

Last ones for awhile? Yeah, I thought I was getting into a less expensive hobby about six years ago because good drums, edrums, cymbals and percussion are expensive. I should have known, the better things in life are worth the money!

Fantasric job, Gareth. It looks absolutely stunning. Maintenance is certainly gonna be much easier for you from now on. 🙂👍

Hello, Thank you very much for the video. I want to upgrade my fans from LL120 to QX120. I want to buy 7 fans for my 5000T case. Two packages of three fans with a controller and one more fan in the regular package without the controller. To connect all the fans will I have to purchase the Corsair iCUE LINK Cable Kit? Or alternatively I can purchase one more cable of 100mm or 200mm/600, will that be enough? I would appreciate it if you could answer me before buying

Love the simplicity of the QX’s! They look great. HOWEVER I don’t feel like remaking profiles for the new control box. That can take a while depending on how crazy you go and I go crazy 🤣. Staying with my QL’s

you must have goten one of the older packs of fans because the newer ones, all the QX fans come with cables in the box including the single packs! i know its pricey but honestly i do love my kit and its simplicity, plus they look amazing =D

Yes looks very nice indeed ! …specially with that 4090 strix in white !

This was an incredible moment right here ... 17:41 what a nice punchline delivery I watched the entire video and that moment was a beautiful exclamation point - this video sold me on the icue link H170i for my new case

plug in the usb c to rad and usb splitter to edit screen

Dang!!! I have never seen soooooooooo many fans with the AIO like you have done....I hope it is cool enough----Ha Ha.

Wished you showed the set up of the icue software and configuration

Best video I have seen on the icue links. Do you need the radiator or can you just buy the fans. Reason I ask is because I already own a LCD H150i radiator non link version.

Amazing...Love it

the new version comes with a right angle 100mm cable

Hey than nice pc. Upgrade I just give my pc as donation with a value of 3k. And now I building my own as I know about Pc I buy those fans and radiator and wow video first I see to take a look and yep they look crazy good on white

Hi, do you still use it on a daily basis? If so, what about the pump and sound problems that some people have experienced? Knowing that Corsair has just announced the iCUE LINK TITAN RX RGB AIO, would you advise me to wait for their release? By the way, when do you think they'll be released? Thanks in advance

Thank you for the informative video! Can you customize Images & GIFs in LINK H150I LCD ?

So with this fan combination with the cooler, does this remove the need for commanders etc? I see you just daisy chained them and then straight into that new hub? Does that come with the cooler?

Do you still need to plug in USB to AIO if it is already connected to Icue Link hub?

Do u think a push pull setup would work I got 15 fans going in my NV7 case and hoping it’s possible 😅

Do the fans come with screws?

It's 7 per side right? Not 14 on each.

Returned this trash of aio system you can only have one fan per port to be able to use it lights and fans while gaming trying that link system only works at idle once you start gaming or put any load on the system the link system just shuts down and give that error saying not enough power for the fans only got 6fans on slot 1 and aio fans and aio on the slot 2

I added similar setup to an NV5 case but with the new Titanium Ram and I would agree, this is expensive but having the pre-attached fans, simple cabling and easy setup are worth it. Also how much you can alter the lighting brings a very satisfying part to any new system build with cool custom lighting themes possible.

PHENOMENAL installation guide! I am about to switch all my fans and 360mm from the first LCD version, and all AF120 RGB fans and didn’t know what cables were included with their new QX fans and now I know exactly what I need! Thanks for the video!👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

This is awesome looking, thank you so much for the video. Just picked this up for my new rig!

Just outfitted my rig with these fans! Corsair has added a cable to the single and a right angle cable to the 3 pack. They were listening!!

I'm doing a case upgrade to a 5000d and I think my icue link gear will look slick in there. And a corsair sf-1000l to replace my rm1000x since I plan on keeping my hard disks

Corsair,Please check your mounting clips for AMD applications.The cooler says its for AM4 and AM5.When I tried to install on a Gigabyte B650 GAMING X AX V2,the supplied AMD clips were not lining up with the standoff screws.I took a photo and showed it to Microcenter and they agreed its not fitting.I was forced to return it and went with a Lian Li 360mm AIO cooler,which cost more than twice as much😐

im in the midst of building a gaming pc! 4090, Icue H150 6 or 7 other 150m fans, AMD Ryzen™ 9 7950X3D GIGABYTE X670E AORUS MASTER AMD Socket AM5 AMD X670E HDMI EATX Motherboard etc.

Just ordered the Link H115i and a 3 pack of 120 fans - supposedly the 3 pack now comes with an additional short cable - here is hoping because I want to use one as an exhaust and two as bottom intake in an Asus Ap201 case. It was an expensive purchase!

I'm still new to this, but is it really just plug and play, or is their more going on in the back

I always leave my 12vHPW connector in my 40 series card. You only get 30 connect and disconnects, at least that’s what it’s rated for

I must say I really enjoyed watching the video and as I'm assembling parts for my new PC this video actually confirmed it for me that I actually should invest just a bit more money for this cooling system 100% Just have a quick question, when you mounted the CPU cooling you didn't use any Thermal Paste? or did I miss that ^^

Howdy cowpoke, this is Korean viewer here. Thanks for the video, but I have a question. Did you use the sleeved cables from Cablemod? I'd be very appreciated to know. Thank you.

When following along with this video, I made the mistake of removing the intel brackets and replacing them with the amd ones, but seeing as i have an intel cpu it didnt work lol. It took a while for me to figure out what I was doing wrong, when suddenly I realised that I have the wrong cpu for the amd brackets, so I quickly ordered an amd cpu from amazon. Just gotta wait a few days for it to arrive so i can carry on with this installation!

Thank you for posting 📫 this video 📹. You have a new subscriber 🎉. Keep up the great 👍 work 🎬

Hey! Thanks for the video it helped a lot for my first build. I test started the PC using the START button on the Motherboard, and the LCD screen on the H150i lit up but the fans did not spin or light up. Also, the 3 QX120 fans used at the front spun and lit up, but the 1 used for exhaust at the back did not. Everything is connected to the HUB. Can you please help me in this situation.

I know that these fans are really expensive, but they were worth every penny to me, the back of my case looked just like yours if not worse as i have 13 fans running in a 7000D case. 1 thing i will say as i may have missed if it was said in the video, the HUB can support 14 devices, but it can only support 7 devices per port, i found this out as i tried running the 8 front/side intake fans on to 1 port, and i got a low power warning icue and 1 fan was not lit up. Once i re-routed the cables and played around with some cable management, everything was good. Awesome video!

I'm having an issue where I've got everything installed correctly, but the AIO pump will not turn on and work. My CPU will skyrocket to 100° because it's thermal throttling as the pump is not turning on and working.

looks great but having a hard time with the upside down corsair logos on the side intake fans.

*NICE, that's a sexy setup! i just ordered the 6500x and the new H150i with LCD...cant wait!*

Hey Guy, I have the H150 elite XT AIO cooler, can I replace my lian li fans with 10 QX 120 icue link fans is that possible to do? Let me know., thx.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BUIOLDING THIS IN THIS CASE! Sorry for the caps but i've been looking for a video on this before I make the jump into the link ecosystem.

I do believe they have changed/ updated the cables included in the triple fan starter kit. A criticism from a few months ago was that the 600mm cable included was the straight edge plug end but now judging by your video they’ve swapped it to the 90 degree plug end. If this is so and not just random I would be very happy about this change as I literally have the triple fan starter kit in my bedroom as do I have the 360 rad AIO but I’m not opening it until Christmas next month 😂. Thank you for an extremely useful and helpful video 👍👍

So I got the h170i with lcd screen but icue will not pick up the lcd screen. It detects the aio block and all my qx fans. Also says there is a firmware update for link hub but when I update it I lose all my fans and everything turns red.

Purchased the iCue Link H150i LCD to replace an older H150i two weeks ago. I am using a Corsair Obsidian Series 500D RGB SE case that sits to the right of my desk approximately 3 feet away from me. The pump for the AIO at the quiet setting is loud and many others are reporting the same issue on the Corsair forum. Forget placing the AIO pump on balanced or extreme setting. The sound level increases and the sound pitch gets higher. Long time Corsair user. Using there RGB ram, AX1600i PSU, PC case (mentioned above), Keyboard (K100 RGB), and Virtuoso XT headset. The noise at the lowest setting (Quiet) is still irritating since it is quiet in my house. I am also using 3 QX 120 RGB fans. As we know Corsair products are not inexpensive. I know there is a work around by adjusting a file to lower the RPM of the AIO pump below 2000 RPM but I believe that should not be the answer. Thinking I may have received a defective product I purchased another H150i and the pump noise is the same. Currently I am using a custom setting in iCue and placed the fans at 50% speed and it masks the noise from the AIO pump but now I hear the fans. I prefer the tone / sound of the fans over the sound of the AIO pump. Hopefully this helps others.

Nice review man. Do these Corsair Icue Link QX120 fans have removable fan blade? Like the Thermaltake Swafans, the fan blades can be pop out and clean. Since these fans are so expensive, would be nice if we can just pop out the fan blades to clean for long term use.

Where would the AMD ryzen 9 go with this cooler? A newbie here.

Is the Corsair aio better them the Nzxt one with a screen?

Could I buy the 3 pack and put two intakes on the bottom and use the other for an exhaust? If so would I need another cable to link them all? Sorry building my first pc and trying to figure everything out lol

Thanks so much for this video. Really helpful to see the removal of the Commander Pro parts as this is what I am looking to do with my build. The only thing I haven't quite worked out is where I can plug my RGB LED strips. I have 4 daisy chained around the edge of the glass panel on my Corsair 4000x case. It doesn't look like there is a connector for them on the new link system. Guess they will need to be connected direct to the MB. :)

I wish they make a triple pack of the QX fans without the hub. I already have the H100i AIO and it came with a hub. Why would I need 2x hubs? Corsair should remove the hub from the triple fan pack and charge less. Make it more affordable.

With the new 6500D case, it is possible to install up to 13 fans. This will require two fan controllers, each of which will occupy one USB 2.0 port. In terms of fan configuration, a setup with nine intake fans and four exhaust fans is generally considered effective in maintaining adequate airflow within the case.

I just purchased these same fans and water cooler! I already have an H150 but its not LCD and non "LINK". I also have the Lian-Li equivalent of these fans because these didnt exist at the time lol.. i would have grabbed these first if they did! Lian li are decent but the software is not great at all and i love corsair! Expensive upgrade though =X

Anyone know what power cable he is using for 4090?

Which one best for 14900k , ıcue lınk 150i or rog ryujin III

Thank you for this video, great content. Love the excitement when you power up the system. I built a new PC after a break of about 15 years. Initially, it was just for getting work done but now I got lost in improving it aesthetically. Crazy how much one can spend these days wow.

Got my two three pack fans/hubs on the way, and may have to upgrade my NZXT Kraken Z63 to the Corsair AIO too. Very nice system Corsair came up with. Love your case, got the same exact case and love it when the white LED lights are blazing! Thank you for the tips.

really loving the fact that the 20 cables horror from having 10 QL120s is finally a thing of the past with the QX120 and h150i icue link Been following you ever since I tried learning how to build a PC on my own over 3 years ago. Have build a couple of systems since then, also thanks to you. Keep rocking my friend

For some reason I never hear any sound samples in reviews for this system. The system it self is very very good but the pump makes SO much noise....

Do your fans rgb not start up right away still or have you fixed this issue? If so could you explain how to fix it?

Nice video❤ can you mount aio on a AMD am4 socket?

what case is this mate?

Awesome build. I just purchased this cooler minus the lcd whith 1, 3 fan kit for the bottom and another for the side and 2 single fans for the back exhaust along with a Lian-Li Dynamic Evo XL-X case. Do you think I would need a seperate cable kit to setup my case like yours ?

Why do you have the pump cables at the front? Wouldn't it look nice to flip the radiator 180 degrees so that you dont see them hanging down in the front like that?

Only just come across this video mate, was meaning to ask in your last video how the Icue link install went for your own build. Wow those fans are stunning and the AIO display is next level. Makes the SL Inf 120 fans I have look dated tbh lol I know what fans I'm using for my next build 😂, bet your really happy with that mate. Merry Xmas to you and your family, and looking forward to seeing more videos in the new year 👍

ok so i have a question your 3 set of fans came with a short cable and a long cable (short one to daisy chain the fans) (long one to connect it to ICUE hub) i look at other people 3 fan set unboxing and they dont get a short cable only a long one i found this odd could u please explain to me or do u only get a short cable with the white version of fans or what im just a bit confused. Did corsair possibly start including long and short cables recently?

Is there AM4 and AM5 the same bracket or 2 separate brackets?

Hey can I plug it to my evga 850 supernova the PCI’s thing

What the angled 12vhpwr cable you into your gpu?

In my NZXT H6 flow I can fit 2 140mm fans on the bottom. Am I better off buying those fans seperately with the expansion kit or should I buy the 140 duo kit for the cables ?

Hi, I have a quetions, what if my motherboard doesnt have the 2.0 usb port? Currently i'm using rog crosshair vi hero motherboard. Is there a ways to connect it?

Hi one more question! Don’t I have to use a pump header with this link system? I have everything the same as you have.

very handy video!

No cable on aio pump on motherboard?

Wait, my fans screw holes for the expansion kit arent threaded.. how do i fucking mount it then?

So where did you plug the tach/rpm little cord that goes on the last spot on the controller hub which fan mobo spot did you plug it into

I've been looking at videos before finally making the purchase of a similar setup (and a new case for myself). Thank you for this video as it's pretty much what I'm looking to get and it's nice to see how it will all work together. Now I can look forward to having less cables when it comes to fans 🤣

Pc looks amazing, Might have to upgrade myself

Little misinformation on the fans by the way you cant do more than 7 fans per side of the hub the hub can handle a max of 14 and that is why there is two ports on the hub and if you see jayz2cents video on these fans you will literally run into fans not working and an error in icue stating there are too many fans connected to one port in the hub. And the AIO takes a total of 4 spots so you can do like a single rear fan connected to the aio thus taking 5 and connect it to one side of the hub than connect the remaining on the other side of the hub the 3 at the top and 3 at the bottom to the other side of the hub taking 11 of the 14 guaranteed on one hub. 7:03 in the video was where you stated that but other than that looks solid and definitely installed right and now if you run into a problem you have a spare hub to use if the other one goes bad.

These are so legit I had to get a 360mm and 7 other link fans

What case is that?

So where does that white cable you mentioned for the lcd goes?

Great video mate

nice video

Can you change the color of the ring and the fan blades separately? I'm thinking about these fans and the Lian Li Infinity ones and you can control the fan blades and outer ring separately with the Infinity, it would be a deal breaker to me with the QX120 fans.

Looks like mess still lol

Can you mount the aio lcd the other way around? In every image I see the water tubes on the right. Could you mount it upside down and flip the screen via icue?

Who do you need 2 link hubs now? :D

I don’t have a plug on my power supply that says pcle where do I plug the cable to from the hub

And how did u setup the lcd screen. Did u end up using the white usb 2.0 cable that came with it ?

ugh now i have to replace my QL120s. After xmas... lol @techcheckUK have you used SignalRGB instead of ICue?

Is the pump noisy on yours ? Mine makes an annoying sound on quiet mode ?

Wanna sell me your old fans?😬

What case is this?

So did you figure out what that usb-c cable was for? Because the manual is a great place to find that info, and really helps with the lcd screen.
