NavyDoc5344 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I am trying to build a massive system within the 1000D case and wanted the best method to control all 24 fans that the system will contain. What would be the best method of obtaining this level of control? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solarity Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Are you using Corsair RGB Fans? For each Commander Pro, you can control 12 fans (6/channel). Though some RGB Fans come with a Lighting Node Pro, which does only lighting, though it can do 12 fans with 6/channel as well. You can also use splitters on the Commander pro if you want to go that route. The limitation for current is 1A/header and 4.5Amps total/Commander Pro for each voltage rail/sata power cable. So there are a few ways to do this: Option 1) 2xCommander Pros w/ the following: -12x 2way splitters -6x 3way splitters (Use 3 splitters on each CoPro.) Option 2) 4xCommander Pros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevBiker Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Do not use 3-way splitters on the Commander Pro. We've seen folks with a LOT of issues on those, including killing off the fan headers. :( I would recommend no more than 2-way splitters on the CoPro. And you can daisy-chain CoPros.

Didn't think that any of the Corsair fans amperage requirements were rated that high. Though two way splitters will give you the safest margins.
