Just an issue with one

CORSAIR iCUE Link RX120 RGB 120mm PWM Fan - Magnetic Dome Bearing - Single Fan - Black

Pros: Quiet, great airflow, connectivity to iCUE

Overall Review: So three of my fans didn't work until I had installed windows. Then the last didn't work until I installed iCUE. So if it's a new build don't freak out unless you have EVERYTHING finished and they don't work. When I say don't work, they all ran, just the lights were off. I am happy with the products.

Great concept poor execution

Overall Review: So I wanted to hide the wires on my new build and was very impressed with Corsair iCUE and how easy it is to connect everything to the hub. It's also magnetic and advertised as sticking behind the motherboard in the case somewhere. Well once everything is assembled there is no space for it to stick. It's a mess. I even watched another guy build with the same case on YouTube. He obviously knows what he's doing. Very professional build. He mentions the connections for the corsair devices being magnetic through the hub and sticks on the back out of the way. He showed it in the beginning before building. But I noticed when it came to those components during the actual build, he never showed where he put everything. It's the only part of the build he skipped. The power supply takes up amy available space. So need to go back to the drawing board to figure it all out Corsair. Right now mine is a mess at the bottom of the case and I am just doing my best to keep it looking as decent as possible. Luckily it's hidden anyway but I hate a mess of cables.

Meh

Overall Review: The backward connect is cool idea but doesn't work out as well as you initially think.
