Corsair Link is basically a thing that integrates case fans, lighting, compatible Corsair PSUs, and Hydro series coolers into this thing that connects to a USB header to your board, and you can control and monitor temperatures, RPM, water temperature, and adjust cooling accordingly.

i stopped using corsair link because it is so broken and it had random cpu usage i use speed fan now which is so much better because it controls the case fans as well which is so good because i have all of my case fans off until my gpu hits 60C  and you can set fan curves

Corsair Link is quite useful for monitoring PSU wattage input and output, especially if you don't have a watt reading meter.

Th only thing i think its good for is telling me how many watts im using with my PSU. It came with my PSU though. I probably wouldnt buy one.
