I know it would be expensive, but I was thinking of going all corsair Link compatible products. It is an unecessary expensice sure, but it would be very awesome to have full control and monitoring of every component.

 

So, what power supplies accept Link? Are they only the "i" products, or do other things accept them. And is there a full list of devices? Also, who here has used Link and wants to share their experience? :)

I found the corsair link software to not be that good , used it a few times then ditched it.

I use link with all my corsair components. It is hard to get working at first since I see a lot of people have issues with it, but I have had it working for a few years no issues.
I basically set everything to the settings I wanted and then just let it do its thing. Personally I much prefer AI suite and fanXpert from ASUS to control fan speeds and temperatures, but that doesnt show you PSU efficiency and other stuff that corsair link does.

Do you have experience with the Corsair Commander Mini? Would I be able to plug in an RM650?

 

Besides setting up fan profiles, how worth it is it? I am getting a new power supply anyways. The built in fan profiles in my ASRock board kinda suck.

I wanted to get a commander mini, but I might be upgrading my motherboard soon to another ASUS board which will have the ability to control more fans, so I wont really need the commander mini.

If you want to be able to change fan speeds and lighting colour through corsair link then the commander mini will work great for you.

Yeah, I would get an RM PSU, eventually a compatible cooler, plug all 4-5 ish fans into it, and possibly get a lighting kit. So it would not be wasted. There are literally 0 video reviews or any decent written reviews of the mini, which is quite strange. I could see linus going all out with it and getting every possible accessory. @linus
