Here I'm talking you through how to setup and wire Corsair's PWM ARGB fans. These fans include the RS120, RS140 and RS120-R ARGB fans but in future might contain other fans as well.

If you have a Corsair RGB fan that has a label with "to RGB hub" on it, then this video isn't for you and you need this one instead:

In this video I'm going to show you the logic of how to install Corsair ARGB fans, where to mount them for intake and exhaust, what reverse rotor fans are for and more. I'm also showing how to connect them to the motherboard directly or alternatively how to use the Commander Duo for Corsair iCue control or how to use another RGB hub so you can use SignalRGB and other software instead.
