SYSTEM HUB INSTALLATION
1. CONNECT iCUE LINK LCD AIO TO SYSTEM HUB
Connect the 135mm iCUE LINK cable with 90° connectors (Q) to the QX RGB fan and distribution hub. Connect the 600mm iCUE LINK cable (Q) and Type-C USB cable (P) into the distribution hub.
Connect the other end of the 600mm iCUE LINK cable (Q) into an available port in the System Hub (M).
2. CONNECT SYSTEM HUB TO USB AND POWER
Connect the 6-pin micro-fit connector (N) into the System Hub (M).
Connect the 6-pin PCIe connector (N) into a dedicated PCIe power cable from the power supply.
Connect the micro USB cable (P) into the System Hub (M).
Connect the 9-pin USB cables from the System Hub and iCUE LINK LCD AIO (P, Q) into the USB splitter cable (R) then plug the splitter cable into a USB 2.0 header on the motherboard.
Connect the 2-pin, 1-wire tach cable (O) into the System Hub (M).

FAQ
How do I know the direction of the airflow of the fan?
An arrow located on the side of the fan indicates the direction of airflow.
Can I reuse the pre-applied thermal paste on the cooler for re-installation?
Re-installation of the cooler will require you to clean off the pre-applied thermal paste and apply a new layer of thermal paste. Visit us at CORSAIR.com to choose one of our performance thermal pastes.
What orientation should I install my radiator?
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).
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 7. 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:
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.
