Today we take a look at the corsair icue link hardware in my custom water cooled gaming pc build. There are good and bad things to talk about with corsair icue link components. I spent 4 months testing this water cooling gear out and i wanted to give you my feedback and personal experience with this gear.

Corsair should be embarrassed by how ugly that GPU cooler is. Why the hell would it not cover the whole GPU?

Bribery with shiny bling makes reviewers go silent about the truth that iCue has never ever worked flawless, always some problem, fix one problem , create two new problems. The software is what kills the brand.

Prettier wires and connected differently too. And you get internal USB-C ports and cables, which is always more better.

You could use an usb header splitter to conect the lcd waterblock and the other components.

Yup. Or use something like the NZXT internal USB hub and it gives about 4-5 more USB headers in the computer for anything else you want to run.

Outrageously expensive. That's what Corsair has become. Though that doesn't mean you get your money's worth.

@bumperxx1 4 месяца назад

Yeah I'm kind of getting sick of Corsair prices getting through the roof but I guess you can blame public traded companies for that because they're beholden to shareholders and they always need to make their stock and profits go up this is why you're seeing everything at high prices in its own individual packages

ive been using corsair stuff for about 10 years now, but tbh i would not buy these products as they are just way over priced imho. i feel right now these company's just rip off pc gamers/pc uses in general, all i see in this new i link system is you must spend more money on our products which is only going to force some people to never buy there products at all.

@doom88-v5r 6 месяцев назад

Ran into some of the same issues. Particularly the input and outputs of radiators and the cable locations for fans makes you really think about how you are going to connect everything. Takes the ease of use of these products and throws them down the drain.

@fr0stief0n 6 месяцев назад

wait u mean full Corsair loop is now more expensive than an EK one? 😂 personally I would with aquacomputer controller & sensors

@cracy2786 4 месяца назад

This is something I’ve been looking for. Everyone talks about the Aio and the daisy chain fans. No one has talked about the custom loop and water cooling side of this

@Turkey_Noise 27 дней назад

Best video that shows the honest opinion of the new ICUE system, it works but it does have some kinks in the system that need to be worked out. Hopefully the price eventually goes down, but thats where the price comes from is the research and development of the new product.

@TheMedianCoreGamer 2 месяца назад

My new PC build it seems connecting rx fans directly to qx fans results to not detecting the rx fans. Not sure because I'm using the qx hub. The rx fans runs but without rgb. Edit: needs and update from the ocue software and now wokrs

@fdrehug7318 2 месяца назад

I would never feel OK with leaving fan screws out, I get peace of mind knowing I'm not harming my fans

@eliadbu 6 месяцев назад

very neat idea but the price... like custom watercooling wasn't expensive enough. I have one older system that is watercooled, but I won't watercool my newer system because of how expensive it has become. I seriously consider getting those Chinese components when I will upgrade my older system and I will need newer blocks maybe change the case and get new radiators.

@franknitty69 5 месяцев назад

I love my corsair link. currently running qx fans and an aio, but that pump, lcd cpu cooler and the better gpu block looks good. I love that I would be able to control all of it in icue. I used to run aqua computing (aquaero 6 xt and quadro) but the lack of documentation for the software, horrible integration with non aqua devices and no meaningful product improvement made me shelf it.

I hate icue software uses too much resources, my pc idles at around 130 watts doing nothing without icue with icue running it idles at 250+ watts, that don't seem like much but it eats into my power bill and keeps the voltage on the threadripper up around 1.4 I even tried to underclock it to keep the power down I regret buying the corsair ram.
