CORSAIR iCUE LINK LCD AIO coolers and iCUE LINK LCD upgrade kit: Everything you need to know

Given the popularity of our LCD AIOs, we definitely weren’t going to leave them out of the iCUE LINK ecosystem. So, if you’re a fan of our LCD AIOs, you can now buy an iCUE LINK LCD upgrade kit that will integrate seamlessly the rest of our iCUE LINK gear. As with previous AIOs, we’re offering this one in a range of sizes, so you’ll be able to find one perfect for your next build.

It's worth noting here that the iCUE LINK LCD screen does count as one of the 14 devices that can be connected to a single ICUE LINK System Hub. So take that into account if you're nearing the maximum in your system.

The best part about the iCUE LINK LCD AIO coolers is that the LCD screen requires just one additional cable to set up. Simply plug the included USB Type-C cable into the Type-C port on the radiator located next to the tubes, then plug the other end into a USB 2.0 header on your motherboard.

If you’ve purchased the LCD upgrade kit for the regular iCUE LINK AIO, the operation is almost as simple. Just pull the pump cap that came with the AIO off, then replace it with the LCD version. No tools are required. All iCUE LINK AIOs have USB type-C port on the radiator as standard. So, after replacing the cap, just connect the included cable from the USB Type-C port on the radiator to a USB 2.0 header on your motherboard.

It’s worth mentioning at the outset that we don’t offer our iCUE LINK AIOs in 120mm or 140mm single fan-sized radiators. These size radiators won’t produce sufficient cooling for modern CPUs. That being said, here are the available options for iCUE LINK LCD AIO coolers right now. Additionally, follow the links below as the specs and cooling performance differs depending on the size.

Of course, the LCD screen is the most noticeable feature of this product. RGB lighting everywhere is all well and good but an actual screen inside your next gaming PC build? That’s something special. The specs for the screen are below, then we’ll talk about what you can use it for.

CORSAIR iCUE LINK AIO LCD screen specs

• Size: 2.1" x 2.1"
• Panel type: IPS LCD
• Resolution: 480x480
• Brightness: 600cd/m²
• Color depth: 24-bit
• Compatible image formats :PNG, BMP, JPG, JPEG, GIF (GIFs are limited to a maximum of 30fps)

So, the screen is pretty impressive for something that lives inside your PC, which makes it the perfect centerpiece for a new build. With iCUE software, you can set the screen to display your system temps if you’re a no-nonsense performance type, or any GIF or image if you feel like messing around. Combine this with the 34 addressable LEDs on each iCUE LINK QX fan and the existing RGB lighting no doubt included on your other components and you’ll have one of the brightest, most vivid, and impressive looking machines around.

One of the main benefits of AIOs is the ability upgrade the cooling performance of your PC without having to resort to the expensive and time-consuming process of creating a custom cooling loop. To make the process as easy as possible, we include everything you need regardless of platform, and the fans are already securely mounted to the radiator to save you time, additionally, we’ve pre-applied the ideal amount of our XTM70 Extreme thermal paste.

So, all you have to do is install the correct mounting hardware for your platform (we included both in the box), screw the radiator in place, and attach the pump head to the mounting hardware. All of this is detailed in the manual, by the way, just in case it seems daunting for those who haven’t installed an AIO before.

So, if you’re interested in the iCUE LINK LCD AIO, or upgrading your existing iCUE LINK AIO with the LCD upgrade kit, take a look at both on our retail website. If however, you’re looking for a more custom cooling solution, take a look at our Hydro X series of products, all of which have received an iCUE LINK upgrade, too.
