Corsair H170i RGB iCue Link Setup and upgrade guide
133Prawn here showing you the setup, wiring and upgrade potential of the Corsair H170i RGB iCue Link all in one cooler. In this video I'm showing the installation of it in the HAVN HS420 VGPU. I'm also showing the setup and wiring logic for both Intel LGA 1700/1851 socket motherboards and AMD AM5 as well. Then I'm showing how to upgrade it or change the fans to other models (in this instance the LX140 RGB and LX140-R RGB fans) as well as how to side or top mount it and change the pump cap for Corsair's VRM Fan Module.
See the timestamps to jump to useful parts of the video including the icue setup later in the video and more.
