CORSAIR iCUE Link LX140-R RGB 140mm PWM Reverse Fans - Dual Kit

In this review of the CORSAIR iCUE LINK LX140-R RGB 140mm PWM Reverse Fans Starter Kit, the bottom line is simple: builders who want standout lighting without sacrificing cooling should consider this dual fan kit. It is aimed at PC enthusiasts who value clean intake looks and easy synchronization, with the single biggest reason to buy being the reversed rotor design that keeps the RGB ring fully visible even when mounted for intake. The kit balances bright, customizable lighting and solid airflow with quiet operation thanks to CORSAIRs magnetic dome bearings.

Key Features

• Reversed Rotor: The rotor is reversed so the RGB ring remains fully visible when the fans are mounted as intake, improving the aesthetic of front and top-mounted fans.
• Dual Light Loops: Each fan has 18 LEDs split across inner and outer loops, producing layered, customizable lighting that syncs with the iCUE ecosystem.
• Strong Cooling: PWM control up to 2,000 RPM delivers up to 90.6 CFM of airflow and 4.22 mm H2O static pressure, making these fans effective on radiators and case intakes.
• Quiet Magnetic Dome Bearing: The refined magnetic dome bearing reduces friction and noise while improving durability for long-term operation.
• iCUE LINK Connectivity: Included LINK bridge connectors allow multiple fans to be daisy chained into a single bank to simplify cabling and connection to the iCUE LINK System Hub.

Who It's For

These fans are best for PC builders who prioritize RGB presentation and tidy cable management-particularly those with tempered glass cases who want the RGB ring visible on intake fans. Gamers and content creators who run radiators will appreciate the 4.22 mm H2O static pressure and the ability to control speeds via PWM.

Users who do not use CORSAIR's iCUE system or who prefer ultra-low RPM passive cooling may want to look elsewhere; while the fans are quiet, their top speed is designed for active cooling performance rather than near-silent minimal speed only use.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Visible RGB ring on intake thanks to the reverse rotor design for cleaner case aesthetics.
• Excellent lighting options with dual light loops and 18 LEDs per fan that sync across iCUE devices.
• Strong airflow and static pressure for both case cooling and radiator mounting.
• Simple daisy chaining with iCUE LINK reduces cable clutter when using multiple fans.

Cons

• Best value realized with CORSAIR's iCUE ecosystem, so users without iCUE may not get full feature benefit.
• At full speed the fans are active and may be louder than ultra-low RPM fans, though magnetic dome bearings keep noise comparatively low.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can these fans be daisy chained?
Yes, the kit includes iCUE LINK bridge connectors so fans can be connected directly to form a single bank that plugs into the iCUE LINK System Hub.

Are these suitable for radiators?
Yes, the 4.22 mm H2O static pressure and PWM control up to 2,000 RPM make them suitable for radiator mounting as well as case intake and exhaust.

Will they be loud at full speed?
The magnetic dome bearing minimizes noise compared with traditional bearings, but at 2,000 RPM they are more active than ultra-low RPM fans; however, customers report the noise level is generally low for the performance.
