Corsair QL Series – QL120 RGB LED Fan Kit Review

Corsair QL120 RGB LED Fan Kit

As many people may have noticed, unless you’ve been hiding in a shell the last couple of years, then you’ve seen that RGB has really taken over the tech world. Everything from RAM, motherboards, cases, power supplies and fans come with options with RGB. Fans having lighting effects have been around for a couple of decades now by using single color LEDs, but RGB fans have only been around for a few years. It has even made it’s way into other industries such as the automotive world. My car literally came with built-in RGB from the manufacture and have I to admit, it is AWESOME!!

Corsair has literally taken RGB above and beyond the next level with their new QL series fans. The QL series fans feature 34 individual addressable LEDs on each fan. The QL series, just like the rest of the the Corsair lineup, are completely compatible with the entire iCUE family including the Commander Pro and Lightning Node Pro.

Corsair offers the QL120 in single, dual and triple fan kits in your choice of white or black fan frames. Pricing pricing starts at $44.99 shipped for the single fan and going up to $128.99 shipped for the QL120 triple fan kit. Both the dual and triple fan kits include the Corsair Lightning Node Core.
