You will connect the daisy-chained ARGB cable from the fans to the pump's ARGB connector, and then connect the pump's power cable to the AIO pump header on your motherboard. This direct motherboard connection allows for control via your motherboard's BIOS and compatible RGB software, eliminating the need for separate Corsair controllers.
3. Mounting the Cooler
The cooler can be mounted in various configurations within your PC case, such as top-mounted as an exhaust or side-mounted as an intake. The flexible tubing allows for versatile placement, even accommodating four sticks of RAM without interference when the tubes are positioned on the right side.

The CORSAIR Nautilus 240 RS ARGB Liquid CPU Cooler offers intuitive control over its performance and lighting directly through your motherboard.
Fan and Pump Speed Control
Precise cooling control is achieved via a 4-pin PWM fan header on your motherboard. You can manage the fan speeds (420-2,100 RPM) and pump speed through your motherboard's BIOS settings. This allows you to optimize for either maximum cooling performance or whisper-quiet operation, with support for Zero RPM mode at low temperatures to eliminate fan noise completely.
RGB жарык көзөмөлдөө
The eight RGB LEDs on the pump head and each RS120 ARGB fan can be controlled through your compatible motherboard's ARGB software. This allows for easy customization of lighting effects and colors to match your system's aesthetic. For users seeking more advanced control and customization options, an optional iCUE controller (sold separately) can be integrated.
