This article covers CORSAIR iCUE LX120RGB ホワイト3枚組.

Overview

The CORSAIR iCUE LINK LX120 RGB Starter Kit White Trio Pack bundles three 120mm PWM fans built for the iCUE LINK ecosystem. Each fan features 18 individually addressable RGB LEDs arranged in dual light loops, delivering vibrant lighting with smooth diffusion. At max speed of 2,400 rpm, they push 69.9 CFM of airflow with 5.22 mmH2O static pressure, making them suitable for both case ventilation and radiator cooling. The standout feature is the daisy‑chain connection: fans snap together directly or via a short link cable, drastically reducing cable clutter. You will need an iCUE LINK System Hub (sold separately) to connect the fans to your PC, but once set up, the iCUE software gives you unified control over lighting curves and fan speeds. In Corsair’s fan lineup, the LX120 slots above the older QL/LL series thanks to its cleaner wiring and higher static pressure. It targets builders who want a modern, streamlined RGB setup without sacrificing cooling performance.

Compatibility Guide

These are standard 120mm fans with a 25mm thickness, fitting most PC cases and radiators. However, they require the iCUE LINK System Hub for operation — they cannot be plugged directly into motherboard headers. The hub connects via an internal USB 2.0 header and requires a SATA power cable. Make sure your motherboard has a free USB 2.0 header and your PSU has an available SATA connector. The fans use a proprietary 4‑pin PWM signal through the hub. They are not compatible with standard fan controllers or motherboard BIOS fan control unless you bypass the hub (not recommended).

Product Info

Released in late 2023, the LX120 RGB Starter Kit is typically priced around ¥14,000 for the three‑fan pack, placing it in the mid‑to‑high range for RGB fans. Each fan draws about 3 W. Warranty is two years (proof of purchase required). Available through Japan, Corsair’s official store, and major PC parts retailers. Market positioning: a step above Corsair’s QL and LL series in terms of cable management and static pressure, but below the more LED‑dense QX120. It’s a sensible upgrade for builders already invested in the iCUE LINK ecosystem.

Best Use Cases

Radiator cooling With 5.22 mmH2O static pressure, these fans perform well on 360mm or 420mm AIO liquid coolers. The three‑pack is a perfect match for a 360mm radiator, replacing stock fans with something more visually appealing. Clean‑looking builds The daisy‑chain wiring reduces visible cables dramatically. If you care about the interior appearance — especially with a glass side panel — the LX120 helps keep the chassis tidy. iCUE ecosystem integration If you already own Corsair peripherals or other iCUE LINK components, these fans let you synchronize lighting and fan curves across your entire setup. The iCUE software supports hardware‑based profiles even when the app isn’t running. ## Alternatives
Corsair iCUE LINK QX120 RGB packs 34 LEDs per fan for even richer lighting, but its static pressure is lower (4.9 mmH2O) and price is higher. Choose QX120 if lighting is your top priority; stick with LX120 for better cooling. Lian Li UNI FAN SL120 V2 also offers daisy‑chain convenience and a slightly lower price. However, it does not integrate with Corsair’s iCUE software, so mixing brands means running multiple RGB apps. If you’re not locked into Corsair, the SL120 V2 is a worthy contender.

Things to Consider

This kit includes only the fans — the iCUE LINK System Hub is sold separately. First‑time iCUE LINK buyers need to factor in that extra cost (around ¥5,000). It’s really an expansion pack for existing hub owners. Noise rating is 36 dBA at full speed, which is audible. For whisper‑quiet builds, you may want to set a lower PWM curve or consider more silent options like Noctua fans, though you’ll lose RGB. Occupying one USB 2.0 header for the hub can be a problem on motherboards with only one header. Check your board’s layout before committing. Overall, the LX120 RGB Starter Kit is an excellent addition to any iCUE LINK setup, trading some noise for strong cooling and beautiful lighting – but only if you already have the hub or are prepared to buy one.
