For easier installation, the fan includes innovative QuikTurn mounting screws. Note that an iCUE LINK System Hub is required to activate these expansion capabilities.
Features
Cooling Performance and Design
The LX120-R delivers robust cooling performance with PWM-controlled speeds reaching up to 2,400 RPM. This speed range allows for precise airflow management, generating a maximum of 66.7 CFM and achieving static pressure of up to 4.72 mmH2O. These metrics make the fan highly effective for both general case airflow and pushing air through dense radiator fins. The Magnetic Dome bearing technology reduces friction significantly, contributing to an impressive lifespan rated at 50,000 hours while keeping operating noise levels low.
Smart Control and Lighting Customisation
Users gain full control over their system's look and sound through the iCUE software suite. The fan supports intelligent fan curves that adjust speed based on temperature, ensuring optimal cooling without unnecessary noise. Additionally, Zero RPM PWM signal support allows the blades to stop completely when temperatures are low, creating a silent environment. For visual enthusiasts, the software enables Corsair's unique Time Warp lighting effect and full RGB synchronisation across compatible devices.
