Corsair QL 120 fans on iCUE H100i ELITE CAPELLIX

I'm considering for aesthetic reasons replacing all the fans in my rig with QL 120s but im unsure if I can use the existing hub from the cooler as well as if the fans will be a big performance hit from the included fans for the cooler. There will be a total of 6 fans.

Greetings. I believe their hubs are typically compatible with all of their fans, but to be certain I would reach out to Corsair support to verify there are no incompatibilities: https://www.corsair.com/us/en/contact

Hello @dabj1979

Chiming in as Micro Center's biggest Corsair Fan.

You can use the included Commander CORE that came with your Cappelix for your QL120s. The main thing is that the QL120s are slightly worst than the ML120s that come with it in terms of performance however most people would not notice the difference. They are also a bit louder when ramped up. I personally am using LL120s for my current build but I have done a build with QL120s and they were fine.

If you looking to min-max, stick to the included ML120s, but I think it's worth trading off the small bit of performance difference for the aesthetics
