CORSAIR · LX120-R RGB · BLACK
Expand the airflow. Keep the lighting visible.
Add one reverse-rotor 120 mm fan to a compatible iCUE LINK system. The black LX120-R combines controllable cooling with two RGB light loops, without hiding the illuminated face behind the support frame in an intake installation.

INTAKE, RECONSIDERED
Keep the illuminated face in view
The reversed rotor changes which side you see in an intake position. It lets the two RGB rings face the window while drawing fresh air into the enclosure. Plan intake and exhaust paths together: reversing the blade design does not remove the need to check the airflow direction and available 120 mm mounting positions.
CONTROL THE BALANCE
Choose the curve that suits the workload
A 400–2,400 RPM control range gives room to tune the response in iCUE. The static-pressure design is intended for airflow resistance such as filters or radiators. Zero RPM can stop the fans under a suitable configured curve; it is not a promise that every PC will run silently. Published noise and airflow figures describe individual fan ratings, not a tested complete system.
LIGHT WITH INTENT
Two loops. Eighteen addressable LEDs.
Each fan carries 18 RGB LEDs across two light loops. Coordinate colours and animation in iCUE or use the Time Warp effect for a distinctive apparent-motion display. The Magnetic Dome bearing supports the rotor. Lighting effects and fan performance remain configurable through the supported iCUE LINK setup.
EXPAND YOUR SYSTEM
One fan for an existing iCUE LINK build
This black expansion supplies one LX120-R RGB fan, two bridge connectors, a 135 mm LINK cable and four QuikTurn screws. A compatible iCUE LINK System Hub is required and is not included. Do not treat this as a standalone motherboard-header fan or assume the controller shown in a connection diagram comes in the single-fan box.
PLAN THE INSTALLATION
One connection system, with clear requirements
Adjacent fans join using the LINK bridge connectors, with a LINK cable carrying the group to a compatible System Hub. This proprietary connection is different from a standard PWM or ARGB motherboard plug. Keep power off while connecting hardware and hand-tighten the QuikTurn screws. Use the official guide in Downloads for the selected kit and hub.
POWER, WITHOUT GUESSWORK
Budget for the fans and their controller
The published input rating is 12 V DC at 0.4 A. That corresponds to 4.8 W for this fan, calculated from the rating, before the separate System Hub and other linked devices. It is not an average-power measurement or the cooling capacity of a CPU cooler. Include the whole linked system when planning power.
