Hello.
I'm planning a build for gaming in the near future and have made my decision on all of the components/hardware I'd like to be present. However, one aspect of the build has me scratching my head slightly and that is the CPU cooler, the Corsair H150i PRO.
I notice that this liquid cooler features something called 'Corsair Link', requiring a USB cable to connect to some connection on my motherboard (I've no clue what connection this would be, as this is my first time using liquid cooling in any way).
My question to anyone who could answer is this; Will my motherboard (MSI Z270 GAMING M7) accommodate this additional connection and the rest of my build? I apologise for the extremely uneducated terms I've used to describe this, but I truly don't know too much on the topic and would rather ask here and save myself some real trouble than if I just went in blind.
My planned build can be found here: http://
I also welcome any views/feedback on the build overall. I'm aiming for a rather beastly gaming rig that'll give me plenty of room for upgrading in future.
Thank you for your time.
