With the new RS-R series, CORSAIR is bringing a breath of fresh air into the world of PC cooling – in the truest sense of the word. The new ARGB fans rely on an innovative inverted rotor design, which not only ensures efficient cooling when used as an intake fan, but also brings out the full splendor of the RGB lighting. CORSAIR thus appeals in particular to all those who value aesthetics and performance at the same time – ideal for modern, transparent cases and ambitious PC builds.
- Inverted rotors: Optimized for intake air and unobstructed RGB view
- RGB showcase: Eight individually addressable LEDs per fan
- Modular and practical: Daisy-chain connectivity with minimal cabling
- Powerful and quiet: PWM-controlled fans with up to 2,100 rpm and zero RPM mode
Design meets functionality
The highlight of the RS-R fans is their inverted rotor design, which is specially adapted for use as a front intake fan. In contrast to conventional fans, the visible fan side is on the inlet side – perfect for showing off the RGB lighting without disturbing the view with rotor blades or frames. This makes the RS-R series particularly interesting for builds with glass fronts, such as the CORSAIR 3500X or 6500X, where the visual appearance of the interior plays a central role.
Despite the eye-catching aesthetics, functionality has not been neglected: each fan has eight individually addressable RGB LEDs that can be conveniently controlled via mainboard software – a separate controller is not required.
Simple installation, powerful performance
In addition to the design, CORSAIR focuses on user-friendliness. Thanks to the sophisticated daisy-chain cabling, several fans can be connected in series. A 4-pin PWM connection and a 5V ARGB plug are sufficient for the entire setup. This significantly reduces the amount of cabling required – a decisive advantage for clean builds and fast installations.
The performance values are also impressive: with a speed range of 0 to 2,100 rpm, the RS-R fans achieve a maximum airflow of 111.8 m³/h at up to 2.81 mm H₂O static pressure. This makes them suitable for both case cooling and radiators – a real all-rounder for a wide range of applications. The proven magnetic levitation bearing ensures quiet and long-lasting operation, while the zero RPM mode ensures absolute silence at low loads.
Color flexibility for every setup
Available in classic black or elegant white, the RS-R fans can be seamlessly integrated into a wide variety of builds. Whether as a highlight in a minimalist white build or as a point of contrast in darker setups – the RS-R series offers not only functional but also visual versatility. CORSAIR thus addresses a broad user group, from experienced enthusiasts to beginners in PC building.
Conclusion
With the RS-R fans, CORSAIR delivers a clever combination of design, performance and user-friendliness. The inverted rotors provide a clear RGB experience with powerful cooling performance. Thanks to simple cabling, PWM control and quiet operation, the RS-R series offers an all-round successful solution for demanding builds.
