Bribery with shiny bling makes reviewers go silent about the truth that iCue has never ever worked flawless, always some problem, fix one problem , create two new problems. The software is what kills the brand.

You could use an usb header splitter to conect the lcd waterblock and the other components.

Yup. Or use something like the NZXT internal USB hub and it gives about 4-5 more USB headers in the computer for anything else you want to run.

Prettier wires and connected differently too. And you get internal USB-C ports and cables, which is always more better.

Ran into some of the same issues. Particularly the input and outputs of radiators and the cable locations for fans makes you really think about how you are going to connect everything. Takes the ease of use of these products and throws them down the drain.

Best video that shows the honest opinion of the new ICUE system, it works but it does have some kinks in the system that need to be worked out. Hopefully the price eventually goes down, but thats where the price comes from is the research and development of the new product.

very neat idea but the price... like custom watercooling wasn't expensive enough. I have one older system that is watercooled, but I won't watercool my newer system because of how expensive it has become. I seriously consider getting those Chinese components when I will upgrade my older system and I will need newer blocks maybe change the case and get new radiators.

ive been using corsair stuff for about 10 years now, but tbh i would not buy these products as they are just way over priced imho. i feel right now these company's just rip off pc gamers/pc uses in general, all i see in this new i link system is you must spend more money on our products which is only going to force some people to never buy there products at all.

I hate icue software uses too much resources, my pc idles at around 130 watts doing nothing without icue with icue running it idles at 250+ watts, that don't seem like much but it eats into my power bill and keeps the voltage on the threadripper up around 1.4 I even tried to underclock it to keep the power down I regret buying the corsair ram.
