What customers say
The Corsair iCUE LINK LX120-R Reverse Fans are highly praised for their revolutionary cable management and superior design.

Know before you buy
The reverse rotor allows the fan to pull air into your case while keeping the aesthetically pleasing RGB lighting side facing outward. It solves the common issue where intake fans typically show the unattractive back frame and motor hub.
No, the starter kit includes the iCUE LINK System Hub. This hub is required to connect and manage the fans, allowing you to control both lighting and fan speeds through the iCUE software.
The iCUE LINK ecosystem uses a single-cable connection to daisy-chain the fans together. This significantly reduces the number of wires you need to route behind your motherboard tray compared to traditional fan setups.
Yes, with a static pressure rating of up to 4.72 mm-H2O and a maximum speed of 2400 RPM, these fans are well-suited for pushing air through the dense fins of a liquid cooling radiator.
Time Warp is an exclusive iCUE lighting effect that uses the fan's LEDs to create a visual illusion, making the fan blades appear as if they are frozen in place or spinning in reverse.
At their maximum speed of 2400 RPM, the fans reach a noise level of 37.7 dBA. Thanks to the Magnetic Dome bearing, they remain relatively quiet during standard operation, though you will hear them when they ramp up under heavy system loads.
