It's like you said, RX are the "performance fans". They are Corsair's attempt at keeping up with the likes of Noctua and Phanteks. They are much better for radiator and airflow use. QX are the showcase fans. They look fantastic but aren't well suited for serious watercooling or airflow applications - or rather there are far better, quieter, and cheaper fans for that.

Corsair really needs to start making reverse blade fans

Hi bp328i, I am 1000% in agreement with that statement! Like the SWAFAN EX from thermaltake, I would like to see them include swappable blades with the fan. Buy one fan and you can choose and change as necessary. But, at least, make two versions of the fans. Thanks for watching and your support!

I recently switch from the QX to RX fans, RX fans are defiantly not as pretty, but both CPU and GPU temp have dropped 5c.

Any idea why Corsair didn’t upgrade their full AIO range to the Titan RX style? I'd love to make use of it, but I'd need a 420mm version, and they neglected both it and the 480mm one...

Thanks for the video, very informative, noob question, I have a EVGA 1200 PSU, on the back there are no labels stating PCI Express. The only six pins I have are four satas and two called PERIF1 and 2. I was going to go on the assumption that I would plug that power cable into one of the PERIF ports on the back of my power supply???

Hi brianjohnston2168, thanks for the feedback. I'm a little late getting this response back to you. the PERIF1 and 2 will be for the MOLEX style cable for your power supply, these are not what you're looking for with iCUE LINK. I'm assuming the power supply has 1, 2 or more VGA ports, these are 8 pin ports on the power supply side, but the other connect should be a 6+2 connector, which means your icue link hub will connect to the 6 pin connector, just leave the other 2 seperated, they won't be used. I'm not sure if listing the ports as VGA and not PCIe is exclusive to evga, but it's the same thing. If this isn't a modular power supply, you should still have 2 connectors that are 6+2 (pcie), but they may say vga on them. If you don't have those, give me the exact model number off your power supply, i'll be happy to take a look. Good Luck, have fun and thanks for watching!!!

Is there anything wrong with chaining one of these fans to the links cp cooler radiator? Does this negatively affect the cooler? And if so how? Recently did a build with this system and can’t hook up all 15 links fans due to hub limits and usb 2 header limitations. I have a 4 way splitter but can’t run any additional fans either way since each side of the hub only allows 7 and one side for the cooler. That means I can only run the cooler and 7 fans max for my full size tower that can hold 17 fans. Not sure what to do

Hi christianflanigan7598, I might not fully understand your setup. But placing an RX120 fan against a Radiator is fine. This fan is well suited to that task. With firmware v2.4 on the iCUE Link hub and the latest iCUE software, you should be able to add 12 devices per port for a total of 24. I'd recommend starting with making sure you have the latest icue link firwmare on the hub and the latest software. If you have issues, you could add a second hub, which would allow you to balance devices and you can still control all of them, but I think the firmware update should do it according to Corsair. I've been meaning to test that on a bench and add more than 14 fans, perhaps I'll do that this weekend and make a video about it. Corsair has an article about it. Great questions! Good Luck, have fun and thanks for watching!!!

I recently bought these fans, I love the esthetic but I'm having a hard time finding a vid on how to connect them to my motherboard.

HI Bichpuddin4, these fans don't connect to your motherobard. Essentially, the fans connect to each other and then to the iCUE LINK HUB. The hub then makes a USB connection to a 9 pin USB header and a sata power connection. This will give you complete control over RGB and Speed using Corsairs iCUE software. Thanks for watching, good luck and have FUN!!!

Lx120 are 174 cad not bad qx120 are 154cad and rx120 are 134cad$ lx120 are 5.22mmh20 which I would have loved if they were out already cause maybe prime day would have them cheaper, replacing the ML that came with my elite capliex 150i to the RX120 for better temps, hopefully when the LX120 come down in price and there good lightning and brightness I'll grab 2 packs but that won't be till next year

Hi Anihilationx360, I have a couple of sets of the LX120 fans on the bench, I should have a video out in the next week. They are a good looking fan and sit in between the QX and RX in terms of the looks (they have the time warp function also). In addition are a better spec'd fan than the QX120. So I agree, the LX120 I think will be a good option for most who want a good performing fan in addition to good looks. I see also that corsair will be releasing a RX MAX (30mm), I didn't see any specs for those yet, but in terms of looks, they will be similar to the RX120 I think. Have fun and thanks for watching!!!!

@HardwareArtisan yeah I'm definitely going lx120 once they release more here in Canada and once sale prices hit 200$ for fans is insane
