CorsairiCUE Link GPU RGB Adapter – iCUE Link Ecosystem Integration for Hydro X Series XG7, XG5 GPU Water Blocks (2020-2023) - Black

I paired a third-party ARGB with this cable to tie in non-Corsair ARGB's to the Corsair IQUE Link system. I had a case light that I had to manually configure every time I wanted to change the colors in my case. Using EZDIY-FAB's adapter cable, I was able to connect it all together. Works flawlessly.

I bought this, hoping to use some older RGB fans in a new icue case. 3500xI bought this before the case arrived, with the icue link hub, to know what I really needed.I would say at the cost of this, just buy the icue link fans.I was trying to not shell out too much money for the fans, but didn't seam to save any money fudging it.If you have an accessory that is not compatible with link, then you will unfortunately need this.Unless your Mobo supports the regular 3 pin adapter, but then they wont be in sync with your link fans.I think that they are intentionally over pricing this, to discourage people from buying non corsair brand fans.Which is not so friendly.

This cable will illuminate the outlined product as claimed. As Everything in the Corsair EchoSystem it is horribly overpriced compared to competitive products that do the same thing.To put it into perspective, you could get a nice computer case or motherboard board for the cost of 5 or 6 (3 or 4 if running 140mm) Corsair fans that come with a controller that will do the same thing as the one in the case running OpenRGB or Signal. You could get an ARGB or D-RGB AIO from many manufacturers, along with 12 ARGB fans for the price of a Corsair AIO. This is assuming you go with the link system components with the proprietary single cables like this one. And what happens if a 600mm cable is too long for your fan? Tuff! You can not shorten it without a lot of work and voiding your warranty. And if the short cables provided are too short? Same thing. You can not daisy chain link cables so if you need another long cable get ready to open your wallet to the tune of $20 for a second 600mm cable for the 3 fan set that may have cost you $120 or $150 already.As far as this cable goes, it is easy to install, functions as designed, and is compatible with the ICue Link EcoSystem. It will allow you to connect your specified cooler to your ICue Link Hub.

I have 500$ in fans and are controlled by Icue, but Icue expandability is wack sauce, and you have no real way to do it….OPTION B) get this cable, AND a 3pin Corsair to standard 5v rgb and get SOME functionality, VERRRY limited there because, for what this was DESIGNED for, it’s to control THEIR RgB pump in a loop, so the ADRESSABLENEES function is VERY limited… markee, rainbow wave, that about it…Option c) the actual solution… get any of the Icue commanders, AND appropriate adapter cable either the 3pin to 5v rgb OR 4pin to 5v rgb (depending on which commander you get) (mod my modz.com has these cables 5$) this allows for MORE Flexibility in the addressable department and allows you to (for the most part) match the rgb theme of the fanshope this helps anyone looking to do the same thing, look at this review before buying…Even the thing this was designed for I feel like is a waste of money, if I’m spending 600$ on a CUSTOM LOOP I want MORE RGB FUNCTIONALITY…. Ie strobing, fading, individual address, RAIN function ect… you don’t get these options… option c would apply better to the pump also…

Corsair, thank you for coming up with this idea for the item you created it has helped me very much because have some RGB light strips and a GPU back plate and this item came very handy.I highly recommend this item for anyone who has these old RGB strips that are not compatible with the ICUE link.

Even though it's technically for a water block it will work fine for any standard ARGB device, like my pre-existing ARGB case fans and light strip.
