CORSAIR iCUE LINK TITAN RX RGB AIOs: Everything you need to know (2024)

Today, we’re announcing the iCUE LINK TITAN RX RGB AIOs. This marks a major redevelopment of our AIOs, and those new developments provide a marked increase in performance as compared to our previous All-in-One coolers. This new AIO boasts a re-engineered pump, an improved cold plate, a new pump cap design, and these AIOs come pre-equipped with our newest iCUE LINK RX RGB fans. And, most importantly of all, a naming scheme that’s easier for the consumer to understand.

The TITAN RX RGB AIOs are available in 240mm, 280mm, and 360mm sizes. Aside from radiator size, and fan quantity/size, the differences between these sizes are minimal. Here’s a quick spec matrix so you know exactly what you’re getting with each one.

WHAT’S IN THE BOX?

In order to give you as much information as possible all in once place, we’re also going to list the box contents of each TITAN RX RGB variant below. After that, we’ll get into the innovations that make this our best AIO to date.

FLOWDRIVE COOLING ENGINE

This refers to the improvements we’ve made to the pump and the cold plate. Both have been overhauled since our previous crop of AIOs to maximise performance.

3-phase pump

The decision to move from a single phase to a 3-phase pump brings two main benefits. First is that it can allow a higher flow rate. This improves the cooling performance as the faster the liquid is moving, the more effectively it can take heat from the CPU and remove it via the radiator.

The second is that a 3-phase pump is more efficient than a single-phase one. This results in a less power-hungry design, in addition to meaningfully extending the pump’s lifespan.

Convex cold plate

The cold plate is the section of the AIO that directly makes contact with the CPU. One side touches the CPU, while the liquid rushes through the cooling fins on the other side to remove the heat.

This means that good contact against the CPU is paramount. Thermal paste helps considerably, but the closer the shape of the surface of the cold plate can get to the shape of the CPU, the better.

This is why the TITAN RX AIOs now have a very slightly convex cold plate. This combines with the pressure applied during the mounting process to maximise the contact with the CPU. This contact is of course helped by the pre-applied XTM70 thermal paste.

CAPSWAP COMPATIBILITY

For a few years, now, we’ve offered different cap designs to allow the user to enhance the look of their AIO. The pump cap sits directly at the heart of the PC, so it has to look good. So, not only are the TITAN RX AIOs fully compatible with any other iCUE LINK AIO pump cap, they also debut a new default design.

The design fully commits to the more recent developments in the CORSAIR design language, with a concentric arrangement of the tri-lobe icon under which lay 20 individually addressable RGB LEDs. It’s looks awesome in White or Black, but more importantly, can be pulled off and replaced without the need for tools.

A great option here would be our new iCUE LINK AIO VRM fan module. This cap has a small fan that increases the airflow to the components around the CPU, plus having a little propeller spinning in the centre of your PC looks really cool. It’s a win-win. You can read more about the VRM fan module in it’s own article, or browse our store for other cap designs if you’re curious.

iCUE LINK COMPATIBILITY

Of course, we aren’t going to release a new and improved AIO without giving it the iCUE LINK treatment. This means it will seamlessly integrate in with any other iCUE LINK devices you have. The TITAN RX AIOs all come with the System Hub, by the way, so if a TITAN AIO is your first foray into the iCUE LINK ecosystem, you are all set to add more devices whenever you like.

For those unaware, iCUE LINK allows you to control any compatible device via a single cable that carries power and data. This cable goes from one component to the next so that each component doesn’t need its own individual cable going back to a fan hub or the motherboard.

This reduces the amount of cable management you need to do, and frees up a lot of space and makes the entire build look way more tidy. For a more holistic overview, read our full explanation of the iCUE LINK system. Now, let’s talk fans.

RX RGB FANS

Every TITAN RX AIO comes equipped with our RX RGB fans. 120mm for the 240 and 360 ones, and 140mm for the 280 version. These fans are already attached to the radiator for an easier installation process but can easily be removed if you want them attached to the other side, or to replace them.

That being said, you probably won’t want to replace them, as the RX fans have also improved as compared to the fans our previous AIOs were equipped with. CORSAIR AirGuide technology funnels the air into more of a column so that it powers through radiators, instead of spreading out into a weaker cone.

Additionally, the RX RGB fans use a magnetic dome bearing to decrease noise, while increasing longevity and performance. Of course, there are also eight individually addressable RGB LEDs on each RX RGB fan, in case you thought we forgot.

So, if the superior performance, refreshed design, and re-engineered internals of the iCUE LINK RX TITAN AIOs sound tempting, check them out, in addition to all our other PC gaming hardware, over on our main website.
