fairly impressive in that it one-up's Lian Li's controller (which is excellent). it seems like Corsair is trying to protect their ecosystem. the iCue has been terrible - so much so that i stopped buying their excellent peripherals years ago. in fact i ended up w/ a rog kb thats almost a clone of the Corsair i wanted. price does seem to be a problem as they're limited to the highest end fans etc... hopefully they'll roll this out throughout the lineup

I am pretty sure the Achilles tendon here is the software still, not the hardware. Thanks for reviewing this product though, I always fancy stuff beyond the big hardware parts. Thanks Hilbert and guru3d team!

The idea is great, sadly the system is locked with iCUE ecosystem... 🙁 I will wait an open standard of this kind.

Thanks as always HH. I refuse to use ICue, though I have a corsair keyboard. I am fine without the software.

Well just received 7 QX 120 fans and the New RGB QX 360 aio after waiting 7 days. I did receive 100mm cable 2 days early from them ( as I'm still p$ssed ) fans aio don't come with any instructions. So putting my Lian Li Evo case after getting away from Lian Li V2 fans and Asus 360 aio. Let just say I'm going have to wait even more for cable replacements because of the terrible quality that Corsair has. So waiting a week for my stuff even explain to them that I ordered 3 fans off Amazon it came 2 days after placing my order with them and from Corsair. So after getting hold of them still waiting on the rma department to get hold of me for replacement for the 100 mm cable and one of the aio cable to be replaced. So best advice I can give is have things planned were you going to put fans then use the cords. Because 50% chances if you need to move them around, they will break!!

I have yet to see a review of the fans themselves regarding cooling performance and noise, especially when compared to other RGB offerings (and even non-rgb fans). Really would like to read/see those reviews already.
