Corsair 6500X iCue Link Build guide (with Asus TUF BTF motherboard and GPU)
174Prawn here with a detailed and thoroughly in depth build guide on the Corsair 6500X complete with Corsair iCue Link fans, all in one cooler and LCD screen. I'm using a BTF (rear connect) motherboard and GPU for this setup and showing you all the steps for doing the same, including the wiring of the system, the fans, the cooler and the setup of everything from HDDs to the PSU and beyond.
