So I wanted to have an wasy to use lighting system with my 570x that didn't require the use of software control.
I chose the 570x and another 3 pack of sp120 fans. I didn't want fans that require software to work in sync by default.
Now I see that the z370 gaming 5 motherboard I bought has only 4 fan headers...so I am forced to buy a fan hub for power or fan splitters.
A waste of money considering the commander pro can do it all and if down the line I decide to get better rgb fans I can use it for that too.
But for now....is it possible to simply connect all fans to it, and just plug it in to the motherbord so I can set a fixed fanspeed on the motherboard and never have to install or run the software, as I intend to use the case buttons only for lighting and if possible or by necessity, will keep the case leds not connected to the commander pro for the power only and use the led fan hub that comes with the case to maintain hardware contol of the fans.
Or is it possible to swap out the case fan led controller for the commander pro and still use the hardware controls for the lights eg. The case buttons. Or does using the commander pro mean you can no longer use the case lighting controls?
TLDR. I want tp power the fans with the commander pro and control the 6 sp120 rgb fans with the controls on the case only.
Can this be done if the commander pro replaces the default led hub. Or do I have to use the default hub for lighting and use commander pro separate to maintain case control of lighting.
And can you use motherboard fan curves etc with the commander pro...does it connect to the mobo with a fan header or does it only connect with a usb header....also, if so, is it possible to use a fan header, sata power, and just not use the usb header of I don't want software control with the commander pro?
Thanks
