Product Installation

We are testing the cooler externally on an open test-bench, but you get the idea here. As mentioned there is a quite a bit of wiring to manage.

The y-splitter lead for the FANs, one PWM leads to the mobo and for power the SATA connector. To the opposite side is the USB LINK cable.
 

This is the USB cable being connected to the motherboard. Then there is one more cable that leads to both the mobo CPU fan header to get its juice.

Yes - the one thing that end-users might dislike definitely is the number of wires leading in and out of the block. It kind of ruins the clean looks a little. There's quite a bit, maybe too much, going on cables wise. We'll leave that to you to judge though. We really like the sleeved wide diameter tubing BTW. 
 

Once powered on you'll notice that the Corsair logo and a lower placed 'ring' lights up with a LED color. Well, in fact, that is configurable as it's an RGB LED solution. It's defaulting to a color shift mode, this cycles through all primary colors of the available primary color spectrum.
 

 
The coloring can change, you may also simply select a dedicated color of preference to your liking with the LINK software, heck even disable it if RGB is not your thing.
