In November of 2024 we released our new CORSAIR RS ARGB fans. These marked a change from our existing line up as they use ARGB headers as opposed to the iCUE LINK SYSTEM HUB.
Today to follow on from these we are announcing the CORSAIR RS-R ARGB fans, designed with value in mind to deliver outstanding visuals in modern fishbowl style cases.

Reverse Blade Design
If you have a fishbowl style case, you can run into aesthetic issues when it comes to the fans adjacent to the motherboard tray. This is because most fans intake air on the blade side and exhaust on the hub side where the fan support arms are located. This means that for ideal airflow, you have to have the backside of the fans front and centre.
The RS-R fan solves this by flipping the airflow. So now the hub or rear of the fan becomes the front where the air is taken in and the better looking blade side is now the exhaust.
These give the same rich unobstructed RGB as our RS fans, so now you can have the best of both worlds. Excellent intake fans and no more annoying fan hubs to ruin the look of your build.
Daisy-chain 4-pin PWM
As with the CORSAIR RS ARGB fans, the RS-R version shares the same four pin PWM connection allowing you full control of the fan from your motherboard header, plus being able to daisy chain them means you can run more than one fan per header, though please refer to the motherboard specification to confirm how many can be used safely per header.
The daisy chaining not only saves on cable clutter coming from the motherboard but also improves cable management on the rest of the fans as you have less cables overall which overall makes life that bit easier.
ARGB Control
As with our CORSAIR RS ARGB Fans the new RS-R Variant uses a +5V ARGB header which is a common sight on most motherboards and allows you to control them directly with the motherboard's software.
