BEFORE YOU START

NOTE: Most newer PC cases include a CPU cut-out to allow access to the back of the motherboard. If your case does not include a cut-out, you will need to remove the motherboard from the case prior to installation.
NOTE: iCUE LINK AIO coolers come with the Intel mounting bracket pre-installed on the pump for quick installation – should you have an AMD system, please remove this bracket and use the included AMD bracket instead. Proceed to the AMD Installation Section for more details.

FAQ

Is it safe to use an alternative PCIe adapter cable to provide power to the System Hub?


To ensure proper operation of the System Hub and iCUE LINK devices, please connect the supplied 6-pin female connector directly to a dedicated PCIe power cable from the power supply. Connecting an adapter cable such as a SATA to PCIe between the System Hub PCIe power cable and power supply may negatively impact the performance of your iCUE LINK devices and/or system overall.



What is CapSwap technology and how does it work with the iCUE LINK TITAN RX RGB CPU coolers?

Titan_CapSwap_FAQ

With CapSwap, you can easily replace the pump cap with an aesthetic module like the iCUE LINK Pump Cap - Groove (sold separately) or a functional module like the iCUE LINK LCD module (sold separately) to customize your iCUE LINK TITAN RX RGB CPU cooler. Visit this link for a list of compatible CapSwap modules.



Do I need to connect a USB Type-C cable into the iCUE LINK TITAN RX RGB pump?

TITAN_240_RX_RGB_BLACK_RENDER_23

No, it is not required for the iCUE LINK TITAN RX RGB to function properly. This USB Type-C port is used when upgrading to the iCUE LINK LCD module.



How do I know the direction of the airflow of the fan?

FAQ_image-01_1

An arrow located on the side of the fan indicates the direction of airflow.



My cooler and fans are blinking red or not functioning. What do I do?


If the fans on your system are blinking red, this is an indication that too many iCUE LINK devices are connected to a single port on the System Hub. The maximum number of devices that can be connected to a single port is 12. To resolve this issue, please distribute the iCUE LINK devices across both available ports on the System Hub. This will ensure adequate power distribution to all connected devices.


If you continue to experience issues or find that the fans are not functioning at all, please perform the following:

  • Double check all connections between the cooler and fans.
  • Ensure that your devices are updated to the most recent firmware via iCUE.


If this does not resolve your problems, please open a support ticket or contact our customer support team for further troubleshooting and assistance at https://help.corsair.com/hc/requests/new.



In what orientation should I install my radiator?

Titan_FAQ_Case

For optimal performance, we recommend installing the radiator with the tubes positioned at the bottom of the case (Figure 1). However, you have the flexibility to install the radiator in various orientations, including an inverted position. Please ensure that the highest point of the radiator is elevated above the level of the CPU pump, regardless of the installation orientation (Figure 2).



Can I reuse the pre-applied thermal paste on the cooler for re-installation?


Re-installation of the iCUE LINK TITAN RX RGB CPU cooler will require you clean off the pre-applied thermal paste and apply a new layer of thermal paste. We recommend using CORSAIR XTM70, sold separately.



What should I do if I lost or broke a specific part or accessory from the iCUE LINK TITAN RX RGB CPU cooler?


Replacement parts for iCUE LINK TITAN RX RGB CPU coolers are sold through the No content yet! CORSAIR webstore.
