LINK fans comparison | QX | LX | RX | Max Airflow (CFM) | 63.1 | 69.9 | 74.2 | Max Static Pressure (mm-H2O) | 3.8 | 5.22 | 4.38 | Max RPM | 2400 | 2400 | 2100 | Light Rings | 2 | 1 on front | 0 | Side view | Dual bars | Single bar | Decorative Side Plate | Temp Sensor | Yes | No | No | AirGuide | No | Yes | Yes | Time Warp | Yes | Yes | No | Where to use | When you need intake fans to look good, especially on side intake or bottom intake, or when you need a temp sensor. | For thick radiators. Combination of front ring + rear AirGuide also makes this perfect for front intake and rear exhaust case fans. The most balanced option of the 3. | When you need maximum airflow, and don't particularly care for lots of RGB. Also comes in pure black/white if you don't want RGB at all. Cheapest among the 3.

The main selling point for these fans is the cable management. You daisy-chain 2 or 3 fans (not the limit) and have only one cable to connect to the hub which is different from the one the LX or RX would use. So you have to take that into consideration. If you get the starter kit, you'll get 3 of them + the hub in the box. However, if you don't mind dealing with 2 cable per fan (Assuming you're going with RGB) and all the cable management that comes with it. I don't think the price is justified for the QX. I have them since they came with the AIO I got and added a Starter Pack to match the aesthetic, and budget was not an issue for me when I was building my PC.

Can anyone comment on the loudness of Corsair QX fans?
I can not comment on QX but what I can say is that QLs are quiet because they hardly push air. They are more of an rgb strip that comes with a fan. Look, every fan that does it's job right is going to cause some noise. If you want the absolutele quietest fans possible you should look up Noctua and maybe BeQuiet. Also note that decibels describe how loud a fan is, not how annoying or distracting it practically is. Like different musical instruments, different fans sound different at the same db level.

Is there any major difference between Rx and QX fans? I read that some people say that the QX is for side-mounted fans and the RX is for standard front-facing fans. Not sure how true that is, but is there a difference between the two?
Really depends on what you want. They both will be a breeze to install (pun intended haha), as they are LINK fans. Both fans have their similarities and differences. QX fans are the more expensive option, but look better in my opinion. They have more LEDs at a total count of 34. Double ringed design where you’ll have RGB rings on both sides of the fan. They however don’t perform as well as RX fans, but don’t perform bad, just not as well. I’d recommend them if you want all that RGB goodness! RX fans are a cheaper option. They have less LEDs, but perform better (especially if you want to install them on a radiator). They also have customizable side plates that you can even 3D print yourself. I’d recommend these if you prefer more airflow with a touch of RGB. CORSAIR has made a comparison page for them here: CORSAIR iCUE LINK RX VS QX FANS: WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE? More on reddit.com

CORSAIR iCUE LINK QX120 RGB 120 mm Fan
CORSAIR rates the RPM range of the iCUE LINK QX120 RGB as 400 to 2400 RPM. Of course there will be variations between samples, and airflow resistances will play a big role, too. The provided samples went from an average 2416 RPM at 100% PWM down to 482 RPM at 20%, following which the fans hit zero ... CORSAIR's iCUE Link QX120 RGB fans are unlike anything else on the market. Each fan uses a USB bus-based connection to have easy grouping and cable-less connections, sports 34 RGB LEDs with novel lighting effects, and even has a temperature sensor for extensive fan control using iCUE software.

RX120 MAX vs QX120 Lighting Comparison by RJohnson | CORSAIR
January 2, 2025 - The RX MAX RGB fans perform slightly better than the QX fans because of their 30mm frame compared to the QX’s 25mm, and they are very quiet. I have 17x fans installed in my 9000D, so I have set the cooling in CORSAIR iCUE for 40 percent fan speed to keep the noise level down. For reference, here is a quick comparison between the QX120 fans and the RX120 MAX fans:
