CUE - Sync It Demo (Computex 2017)

[Zotty]

Great powers of deduction there DevB.


so basically...

in essence..

we need Node pro's with PCI-E connectors :D :D

Which would create a need for more cable combs.. which is always a good thing!

What I wondered was about the power. BUT ... the LED strip packaging doesn't tell us the current requirements.

BUT ... based on the current requirements for the LEDs on the LL and HD fans, we can estimate about 0.04A per LED ... so 0.4A per strip.

That's 1.6A for 4 strips, 3.2A for 8. If you do two strips of 6, you're looking at 4.8A, which is more current than is provided for over the SATA connection (4.5A) and leaves nothing for the Lighting Node Pro's processor. Five strips per gives you a total of 4.0 A even. So that's a possible winner.

Now ... if the configuration was "smart" enough to do on the fly current requirement calculations based on the devices attached and allow you to leverage that current how you wanted to, then you could have a 10 strip connection on one port and an LED fan hub (which takes no current from the NoPro) on the other port. Or ... 6 and 4 or 8 and 2. However you arrange it for a total of 10 strips max for each NoPro.

Yes Perfect! If the software could determine how many fans you have connected and allow more strips on one channel with fewer fans, that would be perfect! At the moment I have 7 strips on one, with one in parallel (that was an experiment but I will change that if this goes ahead) and the rest in series, and two HD120 fans, so well within my limits

EDIT: I have just realised how stupid that sounds. It obviously doesn't matter how many fans are connected as the fans are connected to power separately. So at the very least they should allow 8 strips on one port if you have a fan hub selected right?

Scroll down once there

6 strips you say.... at the cost of 6 fans though,, LOL...

Yes I just had a look at that, it's a great idea but a little pricey for my wallet ;) I just hope Corsair come up with a solution with this software so we don't have to hack our way to a perfect setup

Indeed.. I wouldn't have been buying one to strip thats for sure lol

No but it is a really cool idea if you have a couple spare, or like some, have upgraded to the LL series instead.

I have just had a message about the ST100 and it got me thinking. When the new software is available, can we change the placement of the items for the LED animations?? For example some people have their case to the left of the desktop and some to the right. In this case the LEDs will have to light up at the case first then move through the keyboard and then the mouse mat. Will it be possible to 'position' our peripherals in the new CUE software so the animation happens properly?

We can only hope dude.... I have a spot on the left of my desk that would be
perfect for my ST100.. but it has to go on the right if I wish to use sequential effects....

Yes I know what you mean, I am using the advanced CUE settings so all of my animations are custom made but if I want to have an easy life I would have to move it next to my computer, which is less than ideal

Now what did you go and say that for..... I have 5 hd120's 'Spare'.... I should try and sell them really.. but their box's look sooooooo nice amongst all the other Corsair box's lol...

Wow, I would have probably sold them as a lot by now.. I don't get a great deal of spare cash to spend on my pc though so I suppose if I had everything I wanted then I would be tempted to hang onto them too.

slow growth here dude.. bit by bit and had hung onto the hd's for the wifes pc.. but it's an old duo core and not so keen on link.

Is there any more news on the software Corsair? I'm sure you guys are working hard to make it work perfectly but a little update on progress would be greatly appreciated by your most loyal fans!

EDIT: That's me and Zotty if there was any doubt about that!

hahaha!!! sad but true!.. we would even except hints!!! lol

[Whisky Lima]

OH this is painful! I don't mean to be rude but why announce something that is not even close to being ready to use? It's like scientists 'discovering' time travel.. but it won't actually allow you to travel through time for another 1000 years... PLEAAASSSEEEE give us something to go on, anything at all, pretty please :)
