with the launch of CORSAIR iCUE LINK, the first compatible components of which are now available, we come across a design that aims to democratize access to advanced lighting systems for all users who want to build their own computer, but who found all existing designs too complicated. And given how it works, there’s no doubt that it’s a sensational advance in that sense, effectively making the process significantly easier and accessible to everyone.

As we already told you when the company presented this technological solution CORSAIR iCUE LINK completely changes the system of connecting components with RGB LED lighting inside the PC. A conventional connection system requires each to be directly connected to a control unit that centralizes lighting control. This leads to the need to significantly increase the number of cables inside the PC, which not only complicates the assembly, but also has a direct impact on the PC ventilation flow.

CORSAIR decided to provide a solution to this problem with the CORSAIR iCUE LINK, a very simple and elegant solution that consists of creating a single connection bus. What does it mean? so what different components are connected in a chain, in a way that is most convenient. So the installation starts from the System Hub, the concentrator and the central controller, from which the chain starts that will form the various components.

To manage the lighting of each device The iCUE software, System Hub and the microcontroller contained in each component work together compatible with CORSAIR iCUE LINK. Moreover, thanks to the intelligence stored in each of the components, the chain does not have to be “closed” in any special way or with any additional equipment. The software and hardware suite automatically detects this and adjusts itself to work properly without the user having to make any adjustments.

According to tests conducted by this brand, CORSAIR iCUE LINK can achieve Cut your PC build time in half and more importantly, it makes building a PC with an advanced lighting scheme accessible to almost anyone. And that’s just the beginning, as CORSAIR tells us that this new technology opens the door to the development of future features, as it has been conceived as a platform with great potential for development and growth.
