Nice, perfect if you have a corsair link PSU and liquid cooler.

I like it. Simple and effective.

May have to look into this more. I have 6 fans (need better ones though). Plus I'm getting a aio unit. So this could control all that? I would get corsairs pwm SP fans but i think the thing holding me back on those is the cfm rates. I dunno.

I suggest waiting on this a bit. Corsair Link appears to have lots of issues with Win8, and 8.1. I tried for weeks to get a Corsair Link cooler working reliably. The Link software looks nice, but is riddled with bugs. If you doubt me, visit Corsair's customer forum, and look for the Corsair Link section... which has tons of Win8 users exclaiming how the product just isn't working correctly. Caveat Emptor!

Seems redundant. BIOS or MoBo utilities like FanXpert3 control your fans and water pumps already.

The Corsair Link software is horrendous and knocks your confidence in the rest of their products.

It's more or less an Aquaero 5LT.

 

[JackNaylorPE]

I had a full blown Aquaero on my build list for my last WC build. Turned out to be redundant as MoBo Fan Utility and Reeven Six Eyes duplicated all its desired functions for a whole lot less.

 

[Integr8d]

If you're just using an Aquaero as a fan controller, then yes, the functionality can be duplicated for a lot less. The 5LT is maybe $10 more than this Corsair. But the potential is much greater with the Aquaero. It just depends on what you want. I currently have a 5LT running behind a panel, as I wanted something sleek on this go-around.

The Aquaero does a lot of things but as for useful things, I couldn't find anything that was useful. What is doing for ya that I'm not seeing ? I love gadgets and always looking for excuse to get more

Doesn't help that the only Corsair product I own is the Vengeance line of memory...
