  1. Hi! This looks very cool. I'm thinking of making an Arduino controller too and would love to get some help. So I have a single LL120 fan and I'm considering to purchase additional 3 HD120 fans for the front of my 570x case. So here are my questions if anyone can help me out: Would it look good with an ll120 for the exhaust and 3 hd120 for the intake? Does this project work for both LL and HD fan models? Which type of Arduino do I choose? Pro micro or the original Leonardo (like this one for instance) Does the RGB hub's sata connector needs to be connected? For my understanding I need a 5v input. The original Leonardo Arduino which I've linked has a 5v input while the pro micro doesn't (it comes with a RAW and a VCC input). Can anyone explain to me how the RAW input works? How do I ensure I get exactly 5v for the fans lighting? Would a 3 pin JST SM cable work for connecting the RGB hub to the Arduino board? Is there anything I should be cautious of so I do not damage the LEDs by any mistake? Can I connect the Arduino to an onboard USB header using an adapter? Too many questions I know.. Anyways any help is appreciated, thanks.
  2. I agree, seen some great reviews on the aorus gaming 7. I considered getting the gaming 7 too but couldn't find any good combo deals. I've found one good deal with the gaming 3 but then I read some negative feedback regarding it, so I ended up getting the Asus which was at my price range. I've read somewhere about the tightning solution for the lower end series that had the hot VRM issues, but unfortunately it voids your warranty (at least on the aorus gaming 3) so I didn't want to take the risk. Asus's ROG series is definitely nothing but a marketing strategy to convince people to purchase their products. This also has to do with their aura sync which they're trying to lock users down to one platform. This is a great handy tool and just what I need! Once I get the Arduino board I'll post back. I only hope to not fry the LEDs by mistake. I appreciate your help, thanks
  3. I've bought a single fan for the exhaust on my 570x. I'm using the controller that came with the stock SP120 fans that came with the case atm. So I didn't get the lighting node pro. I might get the triple pack ll120 fans to replace the stock ones tho it is a little costly. I'm thinking of getting an Arduino meanwhile and see if I can play with it a little until I get the 3 ll120 fan pack. These seem to be out of stock in many places :rolleyes: Too bad Asus couldn't provide me a damn addressable rgb pin with my motherboard :( If I understood correctly the 12v 4pin RGB header only allows for one colour at a time is that correct? I think I'll get the Arduino and see what I can do with it just for the fun.
  4. Haha yeah I was so curious I had to check your channel out :laughing: your videos are great, will definitely subscribe! Thanks for the detailed (and funny) explanation Anyways, the motherboard I'm using is an Asus Prime z370-A. It has only one RGB header as I can see which is a 4 pin 12v. I might miss something but, if you have the time to check this out I'd be thankful. Also can you give me some more details on which digital header are you referring to? I think I know what you're talking about but I'm not quiet sure. I actually considered getting the aorus z370 motherboard but unfortunately I've heard it has some VRM temperature issues so I chose a different option :( EDIT: Just found what the addressable header is, sadly my motherboard doesn't come with it.. Is there any other workaround?
  5. aw that's kinda disappointing. Though the guy in the video: [ame] [/ame] does say that it should work with LL120 fans. Is this 100% confirmed not to work with software other than iCue/LINK? Is there any other alternative to the node pro / commander pro that can control the rgb lighting via software? I heard an Arduino board might do the trick but don't know much about it.
  6. Hi, Thank you very much for sharing this method as I've looked pretty much everywhere for it. I am currently using some corsair ll120 fans with the controller that comes with the 570x case. I have an Asus z370 motherboard that has a 12v 4pin RGB header. Do you think it can work despite of it being 12v or does it only work with a 5v 4-pin RGB header? Also, the rgb pin on my motherboard supports RGB input and not RGBW, as I have no idea what type of LEDs the ll120 uses would it make a difference?. And lastly has anyone successfully paired their corsair fans with Aura sync? Thanks again
