Just like the title says... Looking for more info on the new fans. A lot of other companies out there are offering a reverse flow fan so that you can keep the 'prettier' side of your RGB fans in sight while still getting the flow direction you prefer... Just wondering if they will offer something similar where you can either buy a reverse flow blade, or buy an entire reverse flow fan as an option.
Would love to see it! Hate looking at the ugly side of my fans in the top of my case just to have the airflow that performs better lol.

Anyone have any definitive information on whether/when Corsair will offer reverse variants of some/all of their link fan lineup?
I ask as it would help in my build and Amazon has a sneak preview link for them but it doesn’t lead anywhere.
Thanks in advance.
Hi Corsair team,
I’m a long-time Corsair user and recently built a full iCUE Link-based system with QX fans and the H150i RGB AIO. The performance and integration are excellent, and the dual-ring RGB lighting is stunning — but I’ve run into a major limitation.
There are currently no reversed airflow options for the QX series fans. This creates a visual inconsistency in intake-heavy builds, especially for side-mounted fans where the motor hub and cables are exposed. I know the RX120 RX fans offer reversed airflow, but their lighting zones don’t match the QX series, making them unsuitable for mixed setups.
I’ve calculated that switching to a full LX setup to achieve visual symmetry would cost over €475 — and that’s not a performance upgrade, just an aesthetic workaround. For users already invested in the QX ecosystem, this feels like a gap in an otherwise brilliant product line.
Please consider releasing reversed QX fans (both 120mm and 140mm) to support builders who care about both performance and polish. It would be a game-changer for iCUE Link users and a natural extension of your modular vision.
Thanks for listening — and for continuing to push innovation in PC cooling.
Best regards,
Nikos
