What are the key differences between the Three AIO coolers?

While the iCUE LINK TITAN RX RGB uses our latest FLOWDRIVE cooling engine with three-phase motor and optimised flow path, the NAUTILUS series uses our latest generation of low noise pump.

The iCUE LINK TITAN RX RGB will include RX fans for easy cable management and the NAUTILUS Series will include RS or RS ARGB fans, as you can see below the fans have some slight differences.

For the iCUE LINK TITAN RX RGB, the pump cap itself retains the 20 integrated LEDs as well as the ability to change pump caps without having to worry about cables, but for the NAUTILUS RS series you can't change pump caps, so you have to choose between the RS ARGB version with 8 LEDs on the pump cap or the RS without LEDs.

How does the NAUTILUS series compare in performance to the iCUE TITAN series?

iCUE LINK TITAN RX RGB, which offers a better feature set in many areas, will perform slightly better, but the NAUTILUS series comes as a more financially attractive AIO cooler as not everyone wants or needs better cable management, iCUE control or RGB for their AIO.
