Despite offering native support for it, the XC7 RGB ELITE LCD does not require iCUE LINK connectors and the System Hub in order to connect to your system. It includes a USB Type-C cable that directly connects to the USB 2.0 Header on your motherboard. This relates to the LCD display that the cooler uses and its power requirements. After connecting, it remains fully customizable using the latest version of CORSAIR iCUE Software.

This way, you will be able to access all the features.
