iCUE LINK TITAN 360 RX RGB Overview
With the iCUE LINK TITAN 360 RX RGB out of the box, you can see that it is a pretty standard looking AIO. By default, you won’t find any LCD screens here, but that doesn’t mean you can’t add one later on – a feature we will cover shortly. As you may have guessed, the Corsair iCUE LINK TITAN 360 RX RGB is a 360mm AIO Cooler, pairing three of Corsair’s 120mm RX120 RGB fans with a 27mm thick 360mm radiator. There is a lot of talk about with this cooler, so let’s get right to it.
First up is the 360mm aluminum radiator. This radiator is similar to what we have seen with previous Corsair AIOs. The 27mm thickness is pretty much the average thickness we have been seeing lately, and keeps things simple when it comes to case compatibility and size requirements.
With 20 fins-per-inch, the tight fin density is able to provide adequate surface area while still confined to a 27mm thickness. The 120mm RX120RGB fans included with the this kit have a static pressure rating of up to 4.33mm-H2O, which is on the higher side of fan specifications we typically see in our AIO reviews.
The entire radiator exterior is outfitted with a black paint job, and centered along each of the long sides of the radiator is a small chrome Corsair logo.
Each braided cooling line exits from one end of the radiator’s end cap, and these lines are connected to the radiator via crimped connectors. I found the cooling lines to be quite flexible during installation, and their length seemed adequate during installation.
Moving over to the CPU water block, which has a bit of a larger footprint than previous Corsair units we have looked at, we find a handful of features worth covering in a bit of detail.
First up is what Corsiar has dubbed CapSwap. CapSwap lets you remove the upper portion of the water block, without the use of tools, and replace it with an optional module. These modules include everything from different static design covers, to an active VRM fan cap, and yes, even an optional LCD display.
These caps simply pull off of the pump housing and make any required connections via multiple hidden contact points.
The standard cap that comes with this AIO offers a semi-transparent frosted plastic design, with an adjustable disk that allows for logo rotation to fit your installation needs. Beneath the cap are 20 RGB LEDs, which are of course fully customizable via Corsair’s iCUE application.
Making our way around the cooler, exiting from the right side we have the two cooling lines. Each line is paired up with a swiveling fitting to make installation and fitment much easier than with fixed connections.
Moving to the top side of the pump housing, we find a USB Type-C port, as well as an iCUE LINK port. The Type-C port is available for when you make use of the optional LCD screen, and is otherwise not utilized. The iCUE LINK port provides power and control for the pump housing and whichever CapSwap component you have connected.
Both the right and bottom sides of the pump housing are free from any ports of notable features, and show off the two-toned color design. The upper portion is that frosted plastic to let the 20 interior RGB LEDs illuminate the cooler, while the bottom portion is black plastic.
Flipping the pump housing over, one thing that might not be apparent right away, is that the coldplate is offset compared to the rest of the module. This is something I haven’t seen before, but I’m guessing it was designed this way in order to have larger CapSwap options like the LCD screen, without having to worry about RAM clearances and the tubing exiting the side of the base.
The cooling plate is a copper design, and comes with pre-applied thermal paste. Corsair has done a great job of placing their design language across this product, and that includes the application design of the thermal paste, as well as the texture on the tubing fittings, and other random components.
Internally, Corsair has optimized the liquid flow paths in a solution they call their FlowDrive Cooling Engine. This layout is designed to provide better cooling performance, as well as reduced noise from the pump area.
RX120 RGB Fans
A far as specifications go, these seven-blade fans have an operating range of 300-2100 RPM, and are capable of pushing up to 73.5 CFM of airflow. With 4.33 mmH2O of static air pressure when running at 100%, these fans should pair nicely with the 27mm radiator.
As these fans are designed to seamlessly fit into an iCUE LINK system, there are no cables that need to be connected in-between the fans, as their design allows for simple daisy chaining. Using a pair of bridges, one active for the power and data and the other passive to assist with stabilization, the RX120 fans help keep things tidy in your system. Of course, you do have to connect an iCUE LINK cable to the fans in order to provide them with power and control signals, but with the use of the included iCUE LINK cables, this is a breeze.
Each fan also sports eight RGB LEDs at the center of the fan, each of which can be independently controlled via iCUE.
With a rubber dampening pad at each corner, the RX120 fans are poised to provide plenty of airflow while keeping quiet at the same time.
One other feature worth mentioning is that the side plates on the fans can be removed if you don’t want to have the Corsair name plastered all over your system.
Corsair went ahead and attached the fans to the radiator at the factory, which shaves a decent amount of time off of the installation process. For the second AIO review in a row, after reviewing Corsair’s promotional images and installation guide, I chose to orient the radiator with the tubing towards the back of the case. This is a bit of a change from my standard installation method where the cooling tubes exit the radiator towards the front of the case, but there should be no performance impact with the tubes towards the back of the case. Either way, the use of iCUE LINK connectivity simplifies cable routing, as the connectors are reversible and can adapt to your needs.
