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.

Please welcome our newest LX-R RGB Fan Series

Bring amazing airflow and lighting to your PC with CORSAIR iCUE LINK LX-R RGB Fans, featuring reverse rotors, dual light loops, and simplified iCUE LINK connectivity.

LX-R RGB fans are available in 120mm and 140mm sizes, in your choice of black or white to match the aesthetic of your build. Each LX-R RGB fan features 18 individually addressable RGB LEDs spread across an inner and outer light loop, creating spectacular, fully customizable lighting effects – including the iCUE LINK-exclusive Time Warp mode that creates mesmerizing optical illusions

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

I just put an SP120 fan on the bottom of my case as an intake fan and it’s very visible. It honestly doesn’t look great with the fan cage visible and the rgb lights don’t look good either so I’m curious if there are any iCue fans that are reversible so I can have the fan part showing and not the fan cage.

I love Corsair, this was the cleanest and least wiring build I’ve ever done. Every LED is controlled seamlessly through iCue along with pump and fan speeds! Temps are great too.

Don’t get me wrong, I love my icue fan system, but Corsair needs to get on the reverse blade fan train. For all fans, not just the highest end.

I have used all kinds of fans for my builds, but most of the time I go with Lian Li, regardless of the brand of case I'm building in. I started off my PC building career 20 plus years ago with mostly Corsair products, but moved away from that over the past five years or so.

I just recently purchased two Corsair cases, the 4000D Frame Vault and the 5400 Air, both in white. I was thinking of going with Lian Li TL fans for these builds, but have also considered Corsair fans to go with a unified build. I want to use reverse fans for intake, so my only real Corsair option is the LX120 and LX120-R fans. I've heard mixed reviews on these fans, and am looking for opinions from those who own them on the quality of the fans, noise, performance, reliability, etc. Would these be a good choice, or should I look elsewhere?

Man... I'm about to start up a new build after about 7 years, and I never thought I'd look into fans so much, ever lol. (Currently using 2x 140mm Intake with a single 140mm exhaust, and a H115i Pro for the CPU.

Can anyone talk me off the ledge of going with Lian Li for the reverse fan blades (Yeah fine, I'm being boujie because I don't wanna see the back of the caging for the intake) in favor of the RX or QX models? I really like the mag-lev bearings for what seems like a higher longevity, and I'm kind of blown away that a company like Corsair is trailing in that feature. After scouring the internet, I haven't seen anything in terms of them coming any time soon (or at all). Thanks for suggestions!

A while ago, I posted that the LX140-R reverse fan was registered on Amazon.

Based on Amazon's sales schedule, it seemed like more information would be released after mid-November or in December, but today it was suddenly registered for sale at a shopping mall in Korea.

We were able to check the specifications through the sales page, and of course, it can be purchased in both white and black colors.

The selling price in Korea is strangely low even based on exchange rates. So I immediately bought 3 each of 140mm and 120mm.

https://item.gmarket.co.kr/Item?goodscode=4208404124 120mm

https://item.gmarket.co.kr/Item?goodscode=4208404149 140mm

The link is in Korean, but please note that you can easily check the specifications.

** UPDATE **

It seems that the release schedule has been adjusted again here in Korea.

My order was canceled and is currently out of stock.

The reason given for canceling the order was that there was a problem with the current supply and that it would be resolved by the end of November.

It's a pity, but I think everyone will probably be able to purchase it by the end of this month or December.

** UPDATE 2 **

The release schedule has changed again here in Korea and it is now available for purchase. First of all, only the 120mm went on sale again, so I bought it. I think 140mm will also be available for purchase soon.

It looks like the global launch is just around the corner.

To anyone who owns the Corsair LX-Reverse fans please share your experience.

Does your reverse fans make any grinding noises during use?

When did you get your fans?

Which retailer did you buy them from?

I want to get these fans again but I worried about getting a batch with the noise issues that I experienced in the past.

Will or is there an option to have reverse fan blades on the new QX fans? Or maybe will corsair release QX with reverse blades in the future? (Question for the support team)

Just build my new pc in the phantek nv7.

(Fans rgb look much better in person compared to photo)

Orginally used corsair fans in my previous build, then switched to the lian li uni fans as I hated all the cables.

Now im back to corsaie with the Link.

Sadly as soon as I went back to corsair fans, I left my 5000d (great case).

Only wish for corsair fans now is reverse fans like phantek or lianli have.

That way I can get rid of the cage look

Just adding my Corsair LX fans to even out the Lian Li posts. I too wanted Lian Li fans, but couldn’t find the reverse flow fans anywhere🙈
