we're at the Corsair suite at computex 2023 where they're taking a page out of
our book and launching an only fan seriously when we got here I thought
that this is all we were gonna see just new fans but instead what we're getting
is an entire Suite of new products designed to make building fancy
computers like this much much easier this is the old way every RGB fan needs
two cables multiply that by three six nine fans and you're talking about a
comical amount of wiring how about an AIO you've got at least two maybe three
cables right smack dab in the middle of your build you spend all this money and
it still looks like ah that's where the new IQ link ecosystem
comes into play every device whether it be a stack of fans an entire liquid
cooler and even custom water cooling parts connect with a single cable
carrying power data and even temperature signal and best of all
the daisy chain of course the daisy chain seriously this entire computer 10
fans AIO pump and all is run off of just these two cables that's it
okay anyways let's start with our new QX series of fans because that's probably
what most people are interested in there's a lot of new tech in here they have a fancy magnetic Dome bearing and
32 LEDs per fan and but really the cool
thing is the cables and the daisy chaining I mean look at this
there you go you've hooked up now two fans once you've got the little couplers
in all you got to do done wiring done you got your one cable
that's it I mean to be fair there's a little more screwing involved but really
in terms of the cabling that's it the RGB isn't working right now just you
know you shouldn't hot plug these things but they're telling me later on you will be able to if you I guess want to have
these outside of your computer just to cool off aside from that you've got 34
LEDs the most they've ever put in the fan arranged very similar to their
previous light Loop series of fans but they are on the front and the back so
regardless of which way you Orient it it's still going to look good look at all the pretty colors
pretty colors wow that's bright but look
at this oh God it it takes a second to synchronize but the fan is spinning
that's just the LEDs timed perfectly to make it look like it's not spinning and
you can even put it in a a move mode those fans are spinning way faster than
that it just just LEDs there's also a little
temperature sensor I mentioned earlier that this carries temperature data while
each individual fan has a temperature sensor and will feed that information back to IQ so you can see your intake
temperatures or if you haven't flipped the other way you can see your exhaust temperatures which could be useful to
kind of troubleshoot cooling issues there's also temperature sensors in their water blocks and pump res Combos
and these fans specifically are coming out on June 27th it would not tell me
exactly how much it costs but they did say it is going to be their most
expensive fan ever and probably to expect between 150 and 200 bucks for a
three pack including the Hub The Hub that powers it has two channels Each of
which that can support up to seven devices for a total of around 170 Watts
it's so much power they actually have to use a PCIe power connector if you look
at this it's literally six pin PCIe power the only other connectors you have
to wire are USB for communication with the IQ software and you can also run a
little too pin to your CPU fan header so your computer doesn't think you don't have a cooler hooked up if you're
worried you're gonna have too many fans you can actually run two hubs if you want and they even have a four-way
splitter so you can plug in even more devices just like I can plug in this
segue to our sponsor many thanks to secret lab for sponsoring this video you
may know them for their Best in Class gaming chairs but did you know secret
lab makes desks too their Magnus Pro isn't your average sit
to stand desk it's packed with unique features you can have the cleanest desk
around with a patent-pending integrated power supply column and a full-length
built-in Cable Management tray and of course the Magnus Pro is fully
adjustable as a sit-to-stand desk with a Sleek integrated control panel check out
the Magnus Pro and all of secret lab's other offerings at the link below
they're also launching IQ link AIO liquid coolers you might have noticed
around this one there's no cables all of the Power and wiring for the pump runs
along the tubes inside this little sheath to a little Hub that mounts on
the radiator and all you need to connect from there is a single cable back to the
hub the fans actually even come pre-mounted you can remove them if you
need to get a replacement or you can even swap them to the other side and
since they're already there you can then daisy chain off of it to another I guess
three fans because this is one device this is three you could do another three
fans on the other side all off of one cable these new coolers are launching at
the same time as the fans and they come in all the standard sizes like some of their existing coolers they're going to
work on an LCD version that'll just kind of clip on or you can buy it
pre-assembled as a kit but for that you will need to plug in a USBC connector
because this Link cable doesn't really have enough bandwidth to run a display
they're also launching a whole new line of IQ link custom water cooling
components they've got a universal water block it'll fit like RTX 4080 4090 for
example new CPU blocks that support all of the common sockets a new pump res
combo unit that looks pretty cool it even has a screen you can get one with a
screen oh my God this is hot oh you left it on overnight
it's like slowly killing itself you hear
the noise it's making right now I would not recommend running your pump like
this just sitting here wait where is the water even going oh my God it's just
pumping into nothing you put all that together and it can
look like this or like this or even like this
oh that's the old stuff okay some real
new stuff they've got new Dominator Platinum that's got customizable top
bars this is a fancy CNC made piece that a modder made but they've even got a
heatsink version that has no RGB I didn't know you guys were capable of
that but there is RGB you can you can get R2 overall I think the new IQ link
stuff looks pretty sick I'm a little iffy on the proprietary connector I know
there is no current standard so it's kind of up to manufacturers to make one
and in this case why would they make it open to anyone else this is obviously
not compatible with their old fans and it is pricey but if you want a ball in
gaming PC and you're gonna spend hundreds of dollars on RGB anyways this
could be a way to make building it a little bit easier so thanks for watching if you like this video like it get
subscribed and maybe check out the AVerMedia capture card I did that was
sick capture card I want that I would want this too but I don't know if I can
afford it oh doing the dance
