Corsair Icue Link H150I LCD & QX120 Review and Installation
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 лис 2023
- Today I install the last upgrade in my personal build and this consisted of 10 x QX120 fans along with the Icue H150I LCD 360 AIO from Corsair.
In this video I unbox, review and install the new hardware.
I've been waiting for what seems a long time to finally get that clean white build but its finally done!
Let me know your thoughts on the build and any questions in the comments!!

So happy with the upgrades and hopefully last ones for a while 😂 what do you think of the H150I LCD?
I mean it looks good could look way better with this board ROG STRIX X670E-A for a more accurate white theme build 😂?
Mmmm nahh I love the contrast tbh the A board is not great either YES uts white but lacks anything aesthetically imo obviously. The best looking board is z790 maximus but that's intel obs so no good.
Where we can buy it ?😅
And is not more aesthetic with the radiator in the side ? Just asking ?
@mihaie.4268 amazon ir direct from corsair mate 👌
@@TechCheckUK Because the X670E-A is lacking the Polymo Lighting that the X670E Crosshair Hero has? 😅
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
Yeah I was really surprised and wasn't expecting the result tbh thanks for positive response and you won't be disappointed I promise.
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!👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Thanks mate brill comment and really makes these videos worth it when I see comments like this 😀 👍
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.
No problem mate glad it could help and good luck on your build 👍
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.
Really appreciate you watching mate 👍 yeah it's nuts the aesthetics now for pcs are amazing but cost an arm and leg. I was genuinely surprised how bright they are compared to the older QL120S - thanks 4 the support.
This is awesome looking, thank you so much for the video. Just picked this up for my new rig!
Thank you mate, it's really easy to install and looks amazing - I appreciate you watching 👀
Fantasric job, Gareth. It looks absolutely stunning. Maintenance is certainly gonna be much easier for you from now on. 🙂👍
Thanks buddy and yeah 100% easier and it's lighter too. Thanks as always for the support
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
Hey mate really appreciate the continued support thats amazing 👏 and yeah thank god all the cables have gone 🙏 all the best 👍
*NICE, that's a sexy setup! i just ordered the 6500x and the new H150i with LCD...cant wait!*
Nice mate and thanks for watching 👀 👍
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.
100% agree mate 👍 thanks for watching and I too really like the nv5
n why you decided to go with the corsair fans when you have the phanteks nv7 case? the phanteks d30 fans sync with one another as well and can all work with the built in controller on the case...So my question for you is bro, what do those rgb controls do now on the NV7 case now that your using the corsair fans? do the buttons just do nothing now i assume?
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.
Appreciate u commenting mate and glad u liked it the fans and AIO is amazing and I couldn't be happier- good luck with yours too 👍
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!
Haha I know the feeling 😅 just stay away from cameras and lens lol
Not always. Not all good things are expensive. Fact: many of the "left overs" from other lower cost products are being reused and "re tagged" for this one. Bottom line: you paying more for some of the items being reused.
Thank you for posting 📫 this video 📹. You have a new subscriber 🎉. Keep up the great 👍 work 🎬
I appreciate it bro thanks 😊
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 🤣
Thanks mate and yeah u will love it 😀 👍
Yes looks very nice indeed ! …specially with that 4090 strix in white !
Thanks buddy I love it 😀
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
If you Buy 2 x 3 packs and a single fan you will get 2 x 135mm cables and 3 x 60mm cables and 2 x hubs - You need 1 fan connected to the other 3 via 60mm cable and then a 135mm cable to hub and then another 3 x fans and a 135mm cable to the other port on the hub so you don't need to purchase anything additional pal 😀 good luck there great and thanks 4 watching 👀 👍
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!!
Yes that's great news and good luck on the new upgrades - thanks 4 watching mate 👍
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!
Yes completely agree and my bad your 100% correct - amazing u sorted and I bet it looks awesome 👌 thanks 4 the support 👍
Great video mate
Thanks mate really appreciate the support 👍
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 👍
Hey matt tge install was a breeze -10 times easier and was really fun tbh - brightness and control and ability to see actual information about each fan in terms of temps is brill too. Defo a huge improvement imo. Merry Xmas and lots more vids for 2024. Thanks again for all the support 🙏
@@TechCheckUK yeah looks the business mate, I always say you get what you pay for when it comes to PC parts imo, they might be expensive but they look fantastic, take care mate 👍
@mattp1680 cheers pal and you too 👍
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
Hi mate just save your current icue profile to a flash drive and then upload that profile to icue - easy all done and no reconfiguring needed- appreciate you watching thanks 👍
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. :)
Thanks 4 taking time to comment mate and glad it helped 👍 yes the strips will connect direct to mobo and controlled via rgb header. Regards
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.
Sorry to hear that mate I can only say mine doesn't have those particular noise issue. but great to hear another POV and to discuss potential issues
same...resolved?
Nothing for me to resolve mate as mine was perfectly fine - I would advise returning it if I wasn't happy
@@andreaspanu91 I returned the iCue Link H150i LCD and went back to my older H150i CPU cooler.
I would too if I had that issue
Pc looks amazing, Might have to upgrade myself
Cheers Ray 100% worth it to remove all the clutter and simplify and the rgb looks insane m8
@TechCheckUK I've still got My Lian Li fans it's about time corsair stepped up
@raymondgsm-3025 agree mate but these are another level 👍
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
Good luck on new build and thanks for the positive response 👍 fans and AIO are great.
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!
So you have a intel CPU and you have bought a AMD one now 🤔 just checking what about mobo u have?
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 👍👍
Yeah good change and makes it look so much better. Great Xmas presy too may I add. Thanks 4 the comments and support
@@TechCheckUK I’m just a bit cautious as I bought my sets from Amazon a few days ago so they might still be using the older dispatch of cables. I should have bought straight from Corsair haha. I have just messaged the seller on Amazon so hopefully they can tell me if they have included the right angle cable. I’m tempted to just buy 2 600mm right angle cables (one for AIO, one for fans) anyway and just return them if I don’t need them. It’s annoying I can’t just open the box and see for myself but I’m weird and I want that first initial grand reveal to be on Christmas Day 😂. Anyway thank you for your video it was super helpful 👍
@@James-fv1cm more than welcome 🙏
Just got mine and can confirm they now include a 90 degree connection on the 60cm cable. They also include a really small cable with 2 90 degree connections on each end, which wasnt included in earlier reviews ive seen.
@@James-fv1cm They were only £90 on corsair website about 6 days ago(the time you wrote this message).
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
Nice mate 👌 I love the 5000 cases and yes will look amazing 👏
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.
One controller will do 14 fans BUT if you have an AIO you only want the aio and 4 fans on one channel if not it will be under powered. 13 fans with 9 intake gives positive pressure so lots of fresh air coming into the case so as long as they have dust filters it'll be fine - may just need cleaning a little more 😉
Dang!!! I have never seen soooooooooo many fans with the AIO like you have done....I hope it is cool enough----Ha Ha.
Haha got to fill out that case bro 😂 thanks for watching 👀
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
Yeah I think I got them really early on mate and I pleased corsair ship with the cable now. Glad u like them too. Thanks for watching too 😊
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
Yeah mate u agree.i waited and waited for the corsair ones having worked with the lian li ones so many times - great innovation and 1st to market but I prefer corsair too
These are so legit I had to get a 360mm and 7 other link fans
ENJOY
very handy video!
Thanks mate 👍
@@TechCheckUK building in the airflow version today & can’t thank you enough for the handy lil guide for my build!
Glad it could help and hope it all went well mate 👍
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
Nice yeah important that your not just connecting and disconnecting for no reason.
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.
No they don't mate - agree the thermaltake ones are a great and would ve been a nice to have T this price 😀 appreciate the feedback 👍
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.
Appreciate your support mate - no u don't need the AIO mate - if u buy the triple pack it comes with a link controller and cables 👍
Thank you for the informative video! Can you customize Images & GIFs in LINK H150I LCD ?
Yes mate you can all in icue software
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.
Yes they were cablemod cables mate 👍 - thanks 4 watching I really appreciate it.
nice video
Appreciate it man cheers
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.
Lol yeah just heat of the moment- you need it to change lcd screen lol but you can unplug if you don't plan on changing it after
Wished you showed the set up of the icue software and configuration
I know mate but that's a topic that's been drowned on YT - Really easy just download icue from corsair ans install and then activate all in settings and it's all based on murals now so just 1 click for RGB and to add gifs or custom logos etc just upload on lcd settings - you can also set custom fan curves etc in AIO settings. Honestly just search icue setup and you will get some detailed vids 👌 thanks 4 watching I appreciate it 🙏
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
Yeah you could mate 👍 and they do sell individual cables too now on corsair website, hope that helps. Thanks 4 watching 👀
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 ?
The single fans now come with the 60mm cables and the AIO already comes with 2 60mm and 1 150mm cable and then the triple pack comes with 1 x 60mm and a 150mm cable so you should be fine. It would be better to go with what you have and if you were short you can order that specific cable after. Regards
@@TechCheckUK Thank you! Love your take on pc hardware. Subbed!!
Recieved all my parts today. The case is absolutely beutifull. Assembling all this as I type this. Hope everything works!. Wish me luck! 🙂
@Daniels656993 thank you and good luck mate 👍
plug in the usb c to rad and usb splitter to edit screen
Yep that's correct if not icue doesn't detect the lcd in software. If you don't want to do that the screen will still work but you ant customise. Thanks 4 watching
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.
Oh wow nice specs mate that's going to be a beast 💪 👏
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?
Hi mate yes I got 1 x short and 1 x long cable. 2 answer the question corsair changed the cable contents and its a recent addition mate
@@TechCheckUK alright thanks for the quick reply!
@@f3ds. no worries 👍
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?
Fans all turn on when pc is turned on buy your profile won't load until icue starts mate. It's always been the same with corsair.
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?
Yeah no need for commander pros or XT just the little Icue hub and off you go! Yes comes with either the AIO or triple fan pack - appreciate you watching 👀 thank u 🙏
@@TechCheckUK thank you! Good video!
@Cl0ud187 thanks mate 👍
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
Yes mate everyday and I don't have any problem sounds or issues. The new ones are coming out in Sept I believe
@@TechCheckUK Thx
No worries mate 👍
looks great but having a hard time with the upside down corsair logos on the side intake fans.
Haha that's the inner ocd in ya 😜
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 ?
The duo Kit would be best as you will get the 10 and 60cm cables included - by them seperate and u get nothing 😉
@@TechCheckUK thanks a lot 🙏🏿
@SanniVsSanni no problem 😊
Did you need any extra cables with this setup??
With what I purchased NO I had additional cables left over mate
Do u think a push pull setup would work I got 15 fans going in my NV7 case and hoping it’s possible 😅
Each input on the link controller can do 14 fans. Personally I would have my AIO and 6 fans seperate on one input and the other 9 fans on the other input as the AIO power draw is much more than the fans and that way you can equal them out
@@TechCheckUK Litteraly just waiting on 1 140 fan and it comes in next Tuesday I’ll keep u posted I appreciate the response!
No problem mate and good luck on the upgrades
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.
have u connected your type c cable from radiator to icue box?
@@TechCheckUK omg thank you!! this comment made it click and helped us figure out the problem with our screen setup not showing up
@@crawrs thats great news 😀 👍
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?
Great question and my answer is not sure tbh as in my case tubes were not long enough to even try 🙃 - icue dies allow rotation in software I know that
@@TechCheckUK Thanks heaps. It may be fine for me to use it in the normal direction I just don't want the tubes to go over my rgb ram and cover it. Thanks for the response!
@@benjaminofperrin no prob mate good luck
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.
Hi mate yes you can manage the inner and outer rings in icue.
@@TechCheckUK Thanks, cheers!
@@kerotomas1 no problem mate
Is there AM4 and AM5 the same bracket or 2 separate brackets?
Same bracket mate 👍
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.
Yeah by the time I purchased the AIO and 2 x triple packs I ended up with 3 x hubs - only needed one so I see what you saying and I agree. At least give an option 🙂
Is the Corsair aio better them the Nzxt one with a screen?
Hi Mate YES 100% this new one is better and the RGB diffision is unreal
@@TechCheckUKdefinitely getting this one and ditching my Nzxt one
U won't regret it mate I promise I love mine its beautiful ❤️
Do you still need to plug in USB to AIO if it is already connected to Icue Link hub?
Yes mate
@@TechCheckUK thanks! I am assembling a config very similar to this one
@Alex-cc3ol nice mate good luck 👍
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.
No mate u don't need to.
@@TechCheckUK great so everything works work just one usb header? it’s 10 fans and 1 lcd screen for me.
@Wesleyy-87 just make sure you plug in your usb c from radiator to icue hub too. Onr last thing too u need to ensure you connect the 3 pin onto cpu fan header
@@TechCheckUK thanks! I can only plug that one in a cha fan header. Is that correct?
No mate need to go to cpu fan header
Nice video❤ can you mount aio on a AMD am4 socket?
Yeah no problem it comes with am4 mount also 👌 thanks 4 watching 👀 👍
@@TechCheckUK thank you! Saved me 😀
@superowl860 no problem mate 👌
And how did u setup the lcd screen. Did u end up using the white usb 2.0 cable that came with it ?
Yep it tells you in the video - u require the type c to usb in order for control in icue
@@TechCheckUK so that cable just plugs in to the radiator usb c spot and u just run the wire behind the case and connect it to the mother usb 2.0 right
@orlandofarias2575 yes mate 👍
What the angled 12vhpwr cable you into your gpu?
I was using the 90° cablemod adaptor until they did a recall on them mate
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....
Thats a good point and great feedback defo I'll implement t moving forward 👍 mine isn't loud comparible to my h150i capellix though imo.
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.

Yeah scan are decent at that too tbh mate 👍
I don’t have a plug on my power supply that says pcle where do I plug the cable to from the hub
Hi mate u need a 6 pin pcie from your psu and that goes to your icue hub
@@TechCheckUK do you have a link to one I could use. Also do I plug it into sata or perif
No links as it comes with the icue hub mate and u should plug into pcie an 8 pin pcie cable - 2 of the pins just pull off and u connect the 6 pin to the 6pin
Which one best for 14900k , ıcue lınk 150i or rog ryujin III
Hi mate I would go for the corsair one - I must say I'm an asus fan boy but the corsair is cheaper and has better software via icue. The rgb is controlled much better and not as buggy as asus aura and the lcd doesn't suffer from any screen burn. Had both and the asus is a little quieter but bother perfom the same. My opinion is corsair but totally up to you mate 👍
@@TechCheckUK thanx for this. I boght corsair. now ı have msı tomahawk max wifi z790- this 14900k ıs so hot :)) in warzone , ı have 70-80 temperature corsair fan 2000rpm... ı need undervolting i thing :))) ı dont like this
Have you got a contact bracket to ensure correct mounting pressure? Bug issue with 14th gen mate - I would also say it shouldnt be higher than 70c my 7950x3d hits 61 max in games and 81 at 100% use

Where would the AMD ryzen 9 go with this cooler? A newbie here.
Hi and welcome - it would go where all the other cpus go under the cooler, if that's not what you meant I'm not being sarcastic. It's a great cooler but there are much cheaper options out there
@TechCheckUK thanks, I was thinking that it would go beneath it. But I just wasn't sure.
No problem good luck
So where does that white cable you mentioned for the lcd goes?
Hi mate it goes from the USB c connection on radiator to Icue hub
@@TechCheckUKso if I do that, do I need an extra usb connection on the motherboard? Because it counts as 1 of the 14 devices you can connect together.
@Wesleyy-87 no mate this connects at the bottom on icue hub not the side.
@@TechCheckUK ah ok, so for the lcd screen, you connect the cable tot the bottom? And for all the fans I use the connections at the side of the hub?
@@Wesleyy-87 yes mate
What case is that?
O11 dynamic xl mate
It's 7 per side right? Not 14 on each.
Yes pal 14 devices or components per hub so ideally 7 each side
@@TechCheckUK Thanks for the awesome review. I have been looking at these for a while and it's been tempting to pull the trigger. By the way, don't forget to peel the plastic of the fan logos on both sides. I replaced one of my older iCue 120s the other day and found out I hadn't peeled any of them...
@alloftheexperts2111 haha I know I didn't on my ql120s either but 2 years later and they were hella clean lol - I appreciate it mate thanks for the support
What case is this?
Liam li 011 dynamic XL mate 👌
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.
Agreed and addressed in comments mate 👍 had zero issues and works great appreciate the comment
Wait, my fans screw holes for the expansion kit arent threaded.. how do i fucking mount it then?
No NEW fans are threaded mate just need to use the correct screw and they thread on 1st use. They are a little tough on 1st use so make sure you use a larger screwdriver.
@TechCheckUK ah, i tried that and i couldn't thread them all the way. What a pain in the ass for such expensive fans lol.
I've done 10 builds and had zero issues so not quite sure mate
Wanna sell me your old fans?😬
What all 10 of them? Can do if u want!
Looks like mess still lol
Lol
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
Well you have set it up wrong then mate as I have 6 on one and aio and 1 fan the other side and no issues.
@TechCheckUK how when a professional installed it for me I took it back to have it looked at when they told me it's a very known issue with the link system they don't like 1 hub they like 2 hubs 3 fans per slot. I was like what's the point I should have went With Leon Lee Aio and fans
Sorry mate I can't answer all I can say is I don't have this issue. I use a 1000w psu and have my brightness set to full along with a 7950x3d and rtx4090. Hope u have more luck down the lian li route.
@TechCheckUK no problem i appreciate you trying to help I actually got it to work finally I had to mess with the wires more so I ain't going to return it now my set up is 7800x3d red devil 7900xtx with 1200watt power supply system is crazy fast and able to keep a theme look I'm so happy now.
@bobbyharris2270 that's great news mate 👍
ugh now i have to replace my QL120s. After xmas... lol
@techcheckUK have you used SignalRGB instead of ICue?
I use icue but signalrgb is great if u have a mix match of rgb components as u only need 1 instead of 3 it reduces system resources too 😉
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
Cpu header mate
@TechCheckUK cheers, Legend, in the middle of my new pc right now. fans are the final touch in the new thermaltake 300 its been interesting build so far
@@Atrociousnes no worries mate good luck 👍
