Installation
First, we need to attach the iCUE LINK connectors to the LX120 RGB fans. Next, we made sure that all the power cables and the iCUE LINK hub were fully connected.
Oddly, the package doesn’t come with any screws for mounting on to radiators. So in the end, we had to use our own.
If you want to mount these fans drectly on to the chassis, you can do so using the included Quikturn screws.
As with any eco-system like Corsair’s ICUE LINK … you can’t get away from all those extra cables when using the iCUE LINK Hub. Good cable management skills are needed here 😀
Once everything is connected up, all we had to do is power up the system to see how it all looked. The RGB lighting was bright and vivid, and I really love the dual light loops.
To take full advantage of these fans, we installed Corsair’s iCUE LINK software.
iCUE LINK Software
Love it of hate it, the iCUE LINK software from Corsair is needed to control the fan’s speed, lighting and presets. All that matters for me, is that it works.
Once the software is fully loaded, you’ll be able to monitor, customize, and confgure the fans how you want it. You can also fine-tune your fan speeds, or use pre-set fan curves and assign the RGB colours to your liking.
One of the fan’s unique features is the exclusive “Time Warp” lighting mode, which creates an optical illusion with your lighting and looks super cool.
Cooling Performance on 360mm Radiator
We also decided to mount the cooling fans on the Corsair iCUE LINK H150i Elite LCD XT 360mm radiator to see how well it can help cool the CPU. And here are the results.

We highly recommend you use a 360 AIO cooler for Intel’s 13th and 14th Gen processors.
Not the best I’ve seen, but these fans aren’t designed or meant for radiators. Still, if you want some nice RGB cooling fans for your case/chassis … then the Corsair iCUE LINK LX120 RGB is what your’re looking for.
