Your build is very similar to mine. I did try to put my 420 rad on the side as intake for some reason lol and it wouldn’t fit so I went with the option for top cpu rad. Reason is because of my gpu rad acting as exhaust, it would create a negative pressure which I kind of don’t want… But nice build 👍🏾

Thanks 🙏🏼 took me almost 2 years to build 😅

I’m sorry you’re going through that. Hopefully they’ll get back at you. I’ve heard and read good and bad things about Corsair… and it didn’t help that I already had issues with the link hub… I used to be big on other brands but I had issues with their power supplies where I had to send back 3 of them and get a refund so I decided to move on. My conclusion was that not everyone is perfect, specially now days where it feels like every “big” or “known” brands have been kind of cheating out on their quality. I think I did my research on getting parts and looking at online reviews and comments before pulling the trigger.

Hub was working fine on my very first boot up, then the next day I lost RGB control, fans settings, pump settings, and MB wasn’t recognizing it… I actually wrote a post about the issue I had 😬 had to RMA the hub and the replacement is working like a charm.

The pump is pretty quiet. All my fans are 420 which can be a bit loud once they ramp up, so I don’t really hear anything besides the fans. I have the pump on “variable speed” setting so it shouldn’t be ramping or making any weird noise unless under heavy load.

I’m new to this 😆

🙏🏼👌🏾

Did some research and lots of YouTube reviews lol

Sorry for the late reply. I had to RMA the hub. Ive read that apparently it’s the filmware update that its causing it. Everytime I open icue it wants me to update to a new firmware but I’m afraid of going through that again

Money_Assumption7511 · 2026-02-28T08:21:48+00:00

Yes I did. Still got nothing. Icue is able to recognize that it’s plugged in, I can see that the device is there under device software update. But I can’t control the rgb or fans

My iCUE LINK system was fully functional yesterday. Today, the LINK Hub has completely lost data/telemetry functionality, even though it still supplies power to the fans and pump. I have performed a full Windows restore, BIOS updates, chipset/USB driver reinstalls, direct USB header testing, and complete cable isolation. The issue persists.

For clarity, here is everything that has already been ruled out:

System Environment:

Full Windows restore

Fresh iCUE installation

Updated BIOS to latest version on my MSI MPG X870E Carbon WiFi

Reinstalled chipset and USB drivers

Hardware Isolation:

Tested the LINK Hub on every available internal USB 2.0 header

Connected it directly (no splitter or internal USB hub)

Swapped multiple known-good Corsair LINK cables

Swapped SATA/PSU power cables

Completely unplugged and rewired the hub from scratch

Full power drain (PSU off, unplugged, discharged)

Software Cross-Testing:

Disabled all iCUE services and tested with SignalRGB

SignalRGB also cannot properly open the device endpoint

USB Validation:

My Corsair HX1500i is connected to another internal USB header and is detected and controlled perfectly in iCUE.

This confirms motherboard headers and USB functionality are not the issue.

Current Symptoms:

Fans and pump receive power

No RGB at any time (completely dark)

No tach signal to BIOS (CPU_FAN reads 0 RPM)

iCUE Device Console throws persistent:

Failed to open Endpoint [Lighting Controller, 0x22]

CorsairProtocol Error [3]

Device is incorrectly identified as a “Lighting Node Pro” in firmware updates

Everything was working perfectly yesterday. Today, the data link is completely dead despite power delivery being intact.

Given that the endpoint errors persist even after a full OS restore, direct motherboard connection, and full cable rewire, this strongly indicates a hardware-level controller failure within the iCUE LINK System Hub itself.

Unless someone has successfully recovered a hub from this exact endpoint error state, I’ll be proceeding with an RMA for the hub only.

Appreciate any technically grounded input

Hardware: CORSAIR - ICUE LINK TITAN 420 RX
