I only like my radiators on the top of the case and a 360 won't fit in the 4000D. Even the 240mm AIO was a tight fit width wise on top! LOL The 4000D has mounting holes for a 280mm AIO on top but I don't know if you could get one in there with a full ATX motherboard.

    i just got done replacing my old corsair AIO and sp 120 fans with my all new link setup, a link H115i and 6 link QX120 fans, initially i was a little disappointed with how dim the lighting was on the pump for the H115i and thought i did something wrong, but I see it is like that in your setup as well so I'm not so worried about it now. Its a massive improvement over the old fans i had

    Good thing I saw your video, I was going to replace just a few fans with the new series until I saw how insane it will be to have to get separate cables, links, etc. Thought at Computex or whatever it was they said the new link is backwards compatible. Not spending like $600 (yes it would literally be minimum that) to replace my fans

    I found your channel whilst I was researching the corsair 5000d, following the great video's you did on it I ended up buying one for myself but went with master cooler halo fans x10 as they were a great price £38 for 3 pack during the prime sales. case looks great and really pleased with the halo 2's in it. The halo 2's and the v2 control boxes are quite clever and worked really well for me with Signal RGB software.

    Side note, on number of items, I'm using a thermaltake core P8 case.
    This case for one weighs 50 lb without anything in it, and uses a minimum of 16 fans... I'm running 17 not including the fan on my be quiet CPU cooler.
    As a result with Corsair and the commander pros (Note the plural reference) I'm literally running three commander core pros and three RGB controllers.
    As expensive as the new link system is, I'll have to save up for it. But is something I'm definitely looking forward to so I can actually close the back of my case lol

    Maybe a bit late compared to other creators, but you have the best content, so we donˋt mind waiting 😊 Do we get a review of the performance? Especially interested in noice to performance. I think they seem to be listed with a rather high db compared to other thicker fans, with higher RMP. Also would not support this product until Corsair figures out it is outragous to not include cables with the single packs... 😮‍💨

    I have a Corsair 4000X with 10 fans and a 360 EK RGB ELITE, i don't like those fans and i am replacing them with Corsair ML's and SP's. The EK hub is out and i will add a second Core XT as 4 fans are already Corsair, i got the 6 fans and extra CORE XT over the past 6 months when they were on sale. The price of the new stuff and the fact that if you buy a fan you can't even plug it in means i will stick to plan A and avoid plan B as it would cost a FORTUNE, no disrespect to Corsair as your stuff is very good and i like i-link but the fact you can't plug in a fan is not good.

    To change out my present fans (Lian-Li UNI SL120 INF x10) in my current case (Lian-Li O11 Dynamic XL) would cost me £470 (3x3 packs and a single fan) That's just the fans, no AIO, just fans. If I removed my AIO (NZXT Kraken X73) to get the iCue Link H150i to get 3 fans and then purchase 2x 3 packs and a single, it would be £570! I like the idea of less cables, and with my present fans I do have less, but not to the degree of the iCue Link fans. However, the price of these fans, even if I managed to sell my present fans and AIO, would not be enough to justify buying these fans, just for less cabling! Also why would I go from an AIO with a great screen to one that just lights up!?
    The worse thing is if you wanted to start small, like a couple of single fans in your case, you would then have to purchase cables too, as the singles do not come with cables, even at around £45 per fan!!

    11:59 -- you are perplexed because you do not understand the function and purpose of the new 'link' system and also Corsair are money hungry heathens and will charge you 20 bucks for a cable. First, they fit together like legos so the 'expansion fan' is intended to convert take a triple radiator kit and expand it to a quad radiator kit... yes, there is such a think as a quad fan radiators. What corsair could do is sell a single expansion fan without cable and a single stand alone fan with cable. However, how long should that cable be with the single stand alone fan? They could package the longest cable possible, but then what if you only need to reach 2 or 3 inches to link it into the triple fan kit? You can connect things up in serial, so your fan placement an cable lengths should be optimized, selling a single cableless fan allows you to purchase the correct cable/length to support that single exhaust fan and you avoid the cable slack/mess nightmare.
