Corsair Link Cooling and Lighting Kit

Corsair Link gives you ultimate control — your system, your rules.

Corsair Link Commander is housed in extruded aluminum and mounts in a 3.5” drive bay. It connects to the cooling and lighting nodes, Corsair Link-compatible components, and temperature sensors. It communicates with your PC via a USB 2.0 header on your motherboard.

Corsair Link marks an end to the days of case fans, component fans and case lighting that must be managed manually with hardware switches and dials, while simultaneously offering more advanced control and expansion options than motherboard BIOS settings. Everything is available on your screen with a software interface that’s advanced, intuitive, and fun to use.

Precise Monitoring

Understand how your system is operating at a glance, and with an unprecedented level of detail. See coolant temperature and ambient temperature at multiple points, and track the speed of your case fans and fans built in to compatible system components. Corsair Link Dashboard displays everything you need via an attractive, customizable interface.

A New Level of Control

Manage fan speeds individually, set up customized cooling profiles, or program fans to respond to changes in ambient temperature – the choice is yours. You can program lighting to relay critical system information, change the look of your system to provide an instant visual indicator of your selected cooling profile, or just have fun. And with Corsair Link Dashboard, you can do it all without opening your PC’s case.

Open and Expandable

Corsair Link kits include fan controllers that work with virtually any standard PC case fan, and temperature sensors that can go anywhere in your case. Expand your power by adding compatible peripherals. Hardware developers can follow the Corsair Link Digital interface and engage in open development of components that can be monitored and controlled by Corsair Link Dashboard.

Getting Started is Easy

The essential gear is available in your choice of starter kits.

Corsair Link Cooling Kit

Our basic kit includes the Corsair Link Commander — the heart of any Corsair Link-enabled PC — and a Corsair Link Cooling Node that gives you desktop control of up to five PWM or DC case fans. The kit comes with three sensors for measuring ambient temperature inside your PC case, and Corsair Link Digital cables for connecting to compatible components like the Hydro Series H80 and H100 liquid CPU coolers.

Corsair Link Lighting Node

By Jeff Checchi, on May 2nd, 2013

The Corsair Link Lighting Node is a component that comes with our Corsair Link Cooling and Lighting Kit, but many people do not know that can be used independently, without other Corsair Link components. The Lighting Node offers quick and easy lighting control for your system, and comes with everything you need to light up the inside of your case in a color of your choice. If you want to have more advanced functionality and control over the Lighting Node, there are some ways of linking it up with other hardware components, but first let's talk about the stand alone functionality of the Corsair Link Lighting Node.

Corsair Link V2 Features and Functionality

By Jeff Checchi, on February 8th, 2013

Corsair Link has recently been updated to version 2, and what this means for users is that usability, compatibility and general functionality have all been greatly improved. The update coincides with two new product lines that have recently been updated to include Corsair Link support, right out of the box. These two product lines are the new AXi series PSUs, and the Hydro Series H100i and H80i CPU coolers. These "i" (intelligent) devices do not require any extra hardware to be purchased in order to utilize the Corsair Link V2 software — support for Corsair Link is built in. These both simplify the setup of Corsair Link, and lower the barrier of entry for people wanting to take advantage of the system monitoring and control that Corsair Link can provide.

The Corsair AX1200i Digital ATX Power Supply

By Mike Clements, on June 5th, 2012

Of all the components needed to build a computer, an ordinary power supply can be the most overlooked. The new Corsair AX Series AX1200i Digital ATX power supply is far from ordinary. It defies this definition and in fact tosses it out the window. The new Corsair AX1200i is a revolutionary product in the computer industry and it will most certainly not be overlooked in any system.
