Easy to setup, beautifil but watch for faulty parts
This sort of RGB fan solution is relatively expensive compared to other brands, but the ease of instalation its the main differentiator here. It works as advertided, making cable management very easy.The performance is great, and you can set up different performance profiles to each fan. In terms of RGB lightning, it also provides plenty customization which is common in other products, but I think the one that I haven't seem anywhere else is the "static" effect which gives the illusion fans aren't rotating which is nice.Only downside so far is that from 7 fans I ordered (2 sets of 3 and 1 single) 2 fans started making noise while rotating a couple weeks after installation. Both fans belong to the same 3-set, so maybe I simply was unlucky. Reached Corsair for support and they are sending replacements for free, which is nice.

    Great looking fans that have decent performance. I purchased these to replace LL120 fans because I got sick of all the wires and the huge hub needed to keep 10 fans going. These are so simple to connect. Colors are great 34 LEDs in each fan and even look pretty good in reverse unlike the previous LL120s. Performance could be better, but Corsair does make fans that more geared toward performance, while these are geared towards being great looking all around fans. The fans do cool about as well as my LL120s did and are as quite at similar speeds. All around great fans that have a good build, cool well, look great, and are super simple to install/connect.

    The Corsair iCUE LINK QX120 RGB Fan is nothing short of spectacular! First and foremost, the fan operates with near-silent efficiency. Even during heavy workloads or gaming sessions, you’ll barely hear a whisper, making it perfect for maintaining a peaceful workspace or gaming environment.

    The RGB lighting is simply mesmerizing. The magnetic dome design creates a vibrant and evenly distributed glow that elevates your PC's aesthetic. With the iCUE software, customization is a breeze—you can tweak colors, patterns, and effects to match your mood or your build’s theme. The level of control is unmatched, making it easy to create a personalized lighting setup.

    What truly sets this fan apart is the iCUE LINK system. By drastically reducing the number of cables needed, it keeps your PC interior clean and organized while also simplifying the installation process. No more struggling with a tangle of wires—just plug, link, and enjoy!

    If you're looking for a fan that delivers whisper-quiet performance, stunning RGB effects, and a clutter-free setup, the Corsair iCUE LINK QX120 is a must-have. It’s an absolute win for any PC build!

    These are excellent fans. They feel of high quality materials, the RGB is bright and in your face and the noise levels at all RPMs are great!

    Currently running 11 fans in my case and all those only require two wires running to the back to a tiny little controller; thanks for iCue Link!

    You can’t talk about these fans without talking about the new Corsair iCue Link system. This is a one cable, system that seriously cleans up all your wires! You get RGB, Fan Control, Temperature and Daisy Chain! This is easily the best system out right now if you are looking to simplify your rig!

    The “killer feature” is probably the exclusive “Time Warp” lighting that can make your fans look like they aren’t moving, or moving slowly. It’s truly an awesome feature and it looks amazing!

    Noise is well controlled through 1200RPM, lower noise profile is more pleasing to my ears, and reminds me most of Noctua NF-A12s which is saying a lot.

    These are extremely expensive compared to other solutions, but I think it’s the best one.

    Biggest let down is the lack of Link cables. Corsair really needs to step up and provide at least a couple cables with these fans for the price. PLEASE CORSAIR AT LEAST GIVE US ONE 90 Degree cable!

    The media could not be loaded.
    Summary: Avoid the Corsair QX fans at all costs, especially for both open-loop cooling systems. My experience has been an absolute nightmare: three out of six fans failed within three months, starting with subtle ticks and escalating to a loud, obnoxious grind. Not only are these fans unreliable, but Corsair's replacement policy is deeply frustrating and unsuitable for any cooling setup.

    Details:
    - Purchased two sets of QX120 3-pack fans.
    - Within one month, two fans developed a noticeable "tick-tick-tick" noise.
    - Third month: another fan completely fails with a loud grinding sound.
    - Contacted Corsair, but they initially wanted me to return the faulty fans before receiving replacements, essentially leaving my system without adequate cooling while waiting. After much hassle, they agreed to a credit card hold for replacements, but only for the individual failing fans. This simply postpones the inevitable replacement of the likely-faulty remaining fans, requiring repeated loop drains (custom loop) or disassembling the system (traditional cooling).
    - This issue may or may not be isolated to my purchase. Corsair remains tight-lipped.
    - I have recently requested escalation for my issue at Corsair. I am not sure if this will go anywhere or not.
    Pros:
    - None worth highlighting, given the widespread failures and poor support.
    Cons:
    - Extremely high failure rate: 3 out of 6 fans failed within just three months.
    - Early warning signs: Faulty fans start with a noticeable ticking noise before complete failure.
    - Unusable replacement policy: Both return-before-replacement and individual-fan-replacement approaches are impractical and disruptive for any cooling setup.
    - Potential for widespread manufacturing issue: Two sets of 3-pack fans and online reports raise alarming concerns.

    Overall:
    Stay far away from the Corsair QX fans. They are simply not reliable for any cooling system, custom or traditional. A custom loop is worst because it could require a complete system drain to replace, depending on your loop layout. Corsair's inadequate and frustrating replacement policy makes the situation even worse. Choose a more reliable brand to avoid headaches and potential damage to your system.

    I attached a video of the latest noise from the rear fan under my vertical-mounted GPU. The video looks like they are spinning slowly because of the camera's frame rate. They are spinning at 500 RPM.

    If things change with Corsair replacing my fans and the replacements prove to resolve the issue (long term), I will update and inform you that this was just a bad run of fans.

    produto muito bom! alta qualidade !
    bem montado ! os leds são muito fortes ! não da para usar nos 100%
    e silêncio , mesmo CFM forte não tripida ,nem precisa de borrachinha nem nada !
    só acho muito caro por unidade !
    más estou satisfeito !
