Conclusion and Verdict
I’ve tried and tested many 360 AIO coolers in the past. So when Corsair sent me the iCUE LINK TITAN 420 RX RGB AIO CPU Liquid Cooler with a large 420mm radiator, I was really intrigued to see if a larger radiator and 140mm fans would lower my CPU temperatures.
During our tests, we used our Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processor which has default TDP of 125W and is known to run fairly hot. At 100% CPU load, the CPU temperatures reached a high of 82 degrees Celsius and maximum of 91 degrees Celsius for the CPU package. Both the E-Cores and P-Cores maxed out at 92 degrees Celsius. These temperature readings fall within our expectations, so I’m pretty with the results. One thing I will point out, is the fact that it’s a lot quieter than some of my other 360 AIO coolers.
The Corsair iCUE LINK TITAN 420 RX AIO cooler comes with 3 x RX140 ARGB cooling fans which are pre-installed on the 4200mm radiator. These fans offer a maximum speed of 1,700 rpm, and gives you an airflow of between 17.9 CFM and a massive 94.7 CFM, with a static pressure of 0.15 – 3.75mm-H2O. The large airflow rate and high static pressure really helps to cool the radiator, and thus lowering the overall temperatures.
The AIO features Corsair’s Flowdrive Cooling Engine (pump), which is powered by a three-phase motor and offers a higher flow rate with lower noise level. The pump features a total of 20 addressable RGB LEDs, giving you dynamic lighting for great aesthtics. Furthermore, the CPU waterblock has a large copper base and comes with Corsair’s XTM70 thermal paste pre-applied.
The package include one iCUE LINK System Hub, which enables you to connect one iCUE LINK cable from the CPU waterblock to the RX140 RGB fans on the radiator, and then from the fans, connect another cable to the iCUE LINK System Hub (almost like a daisy-chain setup). There are no 4-pin PWM or 3-pin ARGB cables, so you HAVE to use the iCUE LINK System Hub.
And lastly, the Corsair iCUE LINK TITAN 420 RX AIO has the ability to customize the pump cap of the CPU waterblock. There are 3 CapSwap AIO modules available (sold separately) … Goove, VRM Fan and LCD Screen. These AIO modules are super easy to install … no tools needed. Watch the video here.
To get all the benefits from the Corsair iCUE LINK TITAN 420 RX AIO cooler, you’ll need to download and install Corsair’s iCUE software. It’s intuitive and simple to use. You can use it to control the LCD display and synchronize your PC with other iCUE devices, such as RGB cooling fans, keyboards, mice etc. You can also use it to monitor fan and pump speeds, clock frequencies, utilization, temperatures and more.
You can buy the Corsair iCUE LINK TITAN 420 RX RGB AIO Liquid CPU Cooler for USD $219 from Amazon – https://amzn.to/44kncPL. CapSwap modules sold separately.
Final thoughts:
If you have a chassis that can support a 420mm radiator, why not get a larger AIO. If so, then you have to consider the Corsair iCUE LINK TITAN 420 RX RGB AIO Liquid CPU Cooler. It offers very good cooling performance, quiet operation and comes with iCUE LINK connectivity, plus you have the ability to customize the CPU pump cap with 3 optional CapSwap AIO modules.
