Corsair brought forward an update to one of its most accessible liquid cooling solutions—the Nautilus RS series. The revised Nautilus RS LCD brings aesthetic upgrades without inflating the budget, while the all-new RS-R ARGB fans address airflow orientation concerns for today’s showcase-style PC cases.
Nautilus RS Gets Smarter with LCD Screen Upgrade
The Nautilus RS LCD is Corsair’s way of making premium features more accessible. Unlike its higher-end iCUE Elite Capellix XT line, this update brings a 2.1-inch IPS LCD screen to the Nautilus RS platform, allowing users to display GIFs, custom images, or real-time system stats. The screen is fully controlled via Corsair’s iCUE software.
This screen isn’t just for new buyers. Corsair is also offering the LCD module as a standalone upgrade, which means current Nautilus RS or RS ARGB owners can convert their existing coolers by simply replacing the pump cap. It’s a USB-connected drop-in module, bringing real value for users not looking to do a full overhaul.
The Nautilus RS LCD AIO will be available in 240mm and 360mm variants, in both black and white, bundled with Corsair’s updated RS120 fans.
Reverse Rotor RGB Fans for the Fishbowl Era
Corsair also introduced the new RS-R ARGB fans, a subtle but meaningful improvement on the original RS series. These fans feature a reversed blade orientation, designed for showcase/fishbowl cases where the fan’s back side is typically visible. The new layout ensures that the RGB lighting remains front-facing, even when installed in standard intake positions.
Technically, the RS-R ARGB still use:
4-pin PWM connectors
Daisy-chain support
+5V ARGB headers
Zero RPM mode
Magnetic dome bearings for silent operation
Visually, they’re tuned to complement Corsair’s FRAME series and AIR 5400 cases, blending well with panoramic and open-layout chassis.
