OVERVIEW OF THE iCUE LINK RX RGB Series

Add to your iCUE LINK ecosystem with another CORSAIR RX120 RGB 120mm PWM Fan, delivering superior airflow at speeds up to 2,100 RPM while producing our lowest tested noise levels. Thanks to patent-pending iCUE LINK technology, your fans can connect seamlessly together, all connected to an iCUE LINK System Hub (sold separately) with a single cable.

CORSAIR AirGuide Technology focuses airflow where it’s needed most while a Magnetic Dome bearing ensures high longevity and low noise, alongside Zero RPM mode for virtual silence at low loads.
