istrasci Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I'm about to build a new system (after 9 years, yay!) but I have some questions about hardware RGB compatibility that I'm not sure of. I'm planning to get some 4x16GB Vengeance RGB RAM. Am I correct in my understanding that the RGB for this RAM is controllable through the software without any additional hardware lighting components/modules? I also want to get the H115i Pro RGB cooler. The page says it comes with "USB cable for Corsair LINK™ Integration". What I'm not sure of is if I also need any extra hardware components (like Commander Pro/Mini or Lighting Node Pro) to make this work. While I am considering getting the Carbide SPEC-OMEGA case, there are some non-Corsair cases I like better. So what all would I need to make this setup work with a non-Corsair case? Or (functionally speaking) does it just make more sense to go with the SPEC-OMEGA case? Appreciate any input! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I am considering getting the Carbide SPEC-OMEGA case, there are some non-Corsair cases I like better. So what all would I need to make this setup work with a non-Corsair case? Or (functionally speaking) does it just make more sense to go with the SPEC-OMEGA case? Appreciate any input! This will work in a non-Corsair case. Take a look at my system details and all of the Corsair RGB that I have. And not a Corsair case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
istrasci Posted June 4, 2018 Author Share Posted June 4, 2018 [reply collapsed] Thank you for the reply. Follow-up question: On the software front, will I be using Cue, Link, or iCue? I've been out of the loop for so long that I'm confused as to which one does what. Will I need one or more of them installed simultaneously?

I would Give iCue a Try bud, Ultimately it's where the software is heading.. It is in Beta Format still so there are one or two bugs. but most can live with them ;).. the picky few will always find something to be distressed over lol. also have a read of the below thread ;) http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=173880 Covers the hardware side of things,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
