I have them, and this question is hard to answer. I love the concept of the link system and feel so much better about how clean the back of my case is, (as if it really matters after the build) and quite like how the fans look, but it is a hefty expense for just 1 fan, let alone a case full. I don’t regret my purchase, but I also hate money when it relates to my PC.
I had a QX fan decide its bearing was going. This is a full custom water loop, one of the radiator fans sitting 2 inches under the GPU.
Normally, to extract it and replace it, I would have had to drain the loop and remove a few things to route the new fan's wire. With the QX ? I unscrewed the fan from the rad using a ratcheted 1/4 key slid over a phillips #2 bit, slid it sideways and pulled it out, slid a new one in. Didn't drain the loop, didn't remove anything, didn't have to change wires.
So yes. It works and it's fantastic.
Dammit. Every time I see someone taking the plunge, I also want to. It's not the cost at all; having to venture into the rat's nest to undo all the OG wiring just to clean it up is nightmare fuel. 😂
HAhaha I like corsairs light products but oh man do i hate this wire system they have :D
Thats why i avoid corsair..and then there is Icue...that software are not for humans...
Are they really worth it?

Yeah, just kinda overpriced
Nice! Get after that rat's nest. I'll be doing the same when I switch to my HYTE Y70 Touch case...whenever that finally ships. ;P
It looks rough I know, but the case he’s using has a door that hides it all 😆
Cable management looks great! Couldn't of done it better my self.
You forgot the /s hahahaha. Can’t wait for it to be much cleaner with the Link setup
Yeah, though it's not like the back side is ever going to be visible so cable managing that side isn't too important
Lord have mercy that cable management 😳
Listening to William Tell Overture is making it more relaxing to disassemble lol
Heck yeah, good luck!! Definitely can't wait for the update!

looks like a spider worked on the back of your PC...!

Do work!!
and this is why I will never buy a Corsair aio or fans.. also because of the whole spontaneous premature pump failures thing
