unlvjeffro Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I am wiring up my rig and I am going to need a few RGB and PWM fan extensions to be able to reach my RGB hub and my commander pro. Do I need to purchase corsair specific extensions or will any extensions suffice??? Also would it be OK to mount my RGB hub on top of my commander pro? and could I mount my commander pro on the side of my power supply? Or is that a bad idea??? There may be more questions as I get closer to finishing up the build, but I am real close to pushing that start button.. :D: Appreciate the help... Last thing, I have looked and all I can find are extensions for rgb light strips, those are not the ones I need. Any links to some good quality / inexpensive extensions would be appreciated.

DevBiker Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I am wiring up my rig and I am going to need a few RGB and PWM fan extensions to be able to reach my RGB hub and my commander pro. Do I need to purchase corsair specific extensions or will any extensions suffice??? For PWM, any extension will suffice. The Commander Pro should come with some. I've not seen any extensions for the RGB connections. Also would it be OK to mount my RGB hub on top of my commander pro? and could I mount my commander pro on the side of my power supply? Or is that a bad idea??? I don't see why it would be a problem. I guess there could be interference from the power supply? But I would think that's unlikely. I've not done it or tried it ... so I can't say for sure. There may be more questions as I get closer to finishing up the build, but I am real close to pushing that start button.. :D: Appreciate the help... Yeah, we're all waiting for that too. We wanna know how that cooler will work. Last thing, I have looked and all I can find are extensions for rgb light strips, those are not the ones I need. Any links to some good quality / inexpensive extensions would be appreciated. OK ... looking on ModDIY, I found this: https://www.moddiy.com/products/Corsair-Link-%7B47%7D-Commander-4%252dPin-Female%252dto%252dFemale-Sleeved-Extension-Cable.html. It might work??

The picture looks right ... but there's no telling. But it's gotta be better than using jumper wires from my arduino. And now you're a double guinea pig. :p: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my Commander Pro on the back of my PSU with no issues at all,, no reason why you cant do the above buddy :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper69 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Noctua do some pretty good PWM extension cables, Noctua NA-SEC1 4-Pin PWM Fan Extension Cables, 3 pack, about 300mm long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevBiker Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Dev, you are Da Man!!! I looked for ages and all I could find were extensions for RGB light strips....Those might work....Thanks again!!! Any word yet on whether those work? I have some things planned for my build and may wind up needing an extension or two. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zotty Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 I have some things planned for my build and may wind up needing an extension or two. :cool: Interesting.. just two? :D.... my 2 Led Pro expansion kits have arrived today :).. so that's 8 more ext's I have.. but I still think i may need more....

Dude! I think the amount of RGB that you are running is illegal in most countries. You know ... you can get an Arduino LilyPad and use the code on that thread about the custom Arduino controller and wear those LEDs. Then you'd never be without them. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
