Both Corsair and Hyte are all about slapping “brains” on everything right now when it comes to PC building. Both companies are soon to launch new, smart control systems for PC builders, which will help us keep tabs on everything that’s going on in your system. That’s alongside full cooling and lighting ecosystems, fans, AIO cooling solutions, and RGB lighting strips to match.
At Computex today, Corsair announced its upcoming iCue link hub and cooling ecosystem that it says is set to “change the way PC building works forever.” Maybe that’s a little dramatic, but essentially we’re getting a bunch of modular case fans, and the Hydro X cooling system, that all feed into the System Hub—a dinky little “brain” that controls everything—with just one wire.
“A built-in microcontroller in every individual iCUE LINK component acts as a “brain” that communicates with the System Hub,” says Corsair, “enabling a generational leap in system intelligence.”
The upcoming QX fans come in 120mm and 140mm, with each one having its own “brain”… or, y’know a sensor. Yeah, it’s called a sensor guys, not a “brain”.
But what that means is that you’ll be able…
