Whether you’re brand new to the experience of building your own PC or you know your way around a motherboard with your eyes closed it's always exciting to start putting together a new rig. You meticulously plan out your components, studying the ins and outs of every individual part so that you can be certain it is going to be compatible and find the perfect case for it all to fit into. No matter how well you plan your build, though, there’s always one wild card: cable management.
Planning for cable management can be a bit of a dice roll. The more tech and RGB lighting floating around in your system the more wires you’re likely to have flailing about. Pretty LEDs have become a staple of gaming PCs and high end rigs, and Corsair has done their part to streamline the process of managing the woes that come with those pretty lights. If you’ve already built a PC and used Corsair products in the past you’re probably already familiar with the Corsair iCUE system that streamlines RGB software so all of your Corsair RGB components can be controlled from one application. Corsair is now expanding iCUE from software to hardware with the iCUE LINK, an entire ecosystem designed to simplify and streamline the dreaded cable management phase of DIY PC builds.
