Dracillia Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Hello! Hoping someone could help me out here, i am at my wits end! I just bought the two pack of the new LL140 fans, comes with the lighting node pro and the hub. Plugged everything in, exactly right. Turned on my computer and both fans worked, as did the lights Installed Corsair Link . Both fans still spin but the lights for my second fan have stopped working completely and cannot be controlled in Link. Link also doesn't allow me control the fans in any way, speed etc. It's like they aren't registering. I noticed an update for the lightning node pro, during the update the lights on my second fan worked briefly but went back to not working once it finished installing. And it appears the firmware update did nothing at all. I have unplugged everything and plugged it back in. I have reinstalled Link. I have reset the firmware on my lighting node pro. I have absolutely no idea what the issue could be, leaning toward something being faulty perhaps? Hopefully someone can help me out. Thanks!

Zotty Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 sorry if its a silly question bud, you did select fan type and add the correct amount of fans in Corsair Link didnt you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee Corsair Dustin Posted November 2, 2017 Corsair Employee Share Posted November 2, 2017 The Lighting Node Pro is only going to allow you to control the lighting. Controlling fan speed is dependent on what you plugged the PWM connectors into. And as Zotty said, you do need to tell the software what's connected to it for it to work.

Dracillia Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 Thanks for your help lovelies! I figured it out, i was just being blonde and mistook the "LED channel #2" as being the way to configure my second fan. Herpaderp! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyncharas Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 There is an issue using the LL fans with Corsair Link and AIOs, actually - Bitwit brings it up in his video review of them at 7.08: [ame] [/ame] Corsair may want to investigate this further.

No there isn't.. and no they dont lol.... either he had a faulty fan.,... or he had the wrong fans selected in link,,,, I have those fans..... I have those fans on my aio... for the record. The fans rgb has nothing what's so ever to do with the AIO. As an example. Plug 8 strips daisy chained into a node pro or commander pro.. all in same channel.. tell link they are 'LL fans and all 8 strips light up... so I feel that Mr bit of wit had it set up wrong....

DevBiker Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 There is an issue using the LL fans with Corsair Link and AIOs, actually - Bitwit brings it up in his video review of them at 7.08: Corsair may want to investigate this further. Interesting but I find it hard to believe. The stock fans have higher airflow and static pressure than the LL fans. His methodology was also, IMHO, flawed. He didn't detail what the fan speeds were (50% on the stock fans spins faster than 50% on the LL fans) and that makes a HUGE difference in the amount of airflow and static pressure. Furthermore, with radiator fans, the key temp isn't the CPU, it's the coolant temperature. There's no information on the coolant temp at all. Finally ... running a test for only 15 minutes doesn't give a water cooled system time to stabilize. While the 45 minute test did, the differences in fan speeds still leaves me questioning the validity and usefulness of this particular review.

RGambit Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Hey all, hoping you could help me with a little issue I am having which is similar to this one. I have a back LL140 fan that is connected to a commander pro. The fan is working and all LED's not only work but respond to different color setups under link. However they are not registering under "fans" (see picture) and can't change the speed. Please see pictures attached Just for troubleshooting I connected another LL120 I have into that same port of the commander pro (fan 1) and the same behavior is showing.

DevBiker Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Are you running any other monitoring software (e.g. Aida, HWInfo, etc.)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevBiker Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 What happens if you restart the service? Or use iCue rather than Link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGambit Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I uninstalled Link and Icue and intalled them once at a time. Both show 0 rpm for that fan. How can I restart the service? I am not aware what that is, apologies. EDIT: I found restart service in Icue and nothing changed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevBiker Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Hmmm ... quite odd. What happens if you connect the fan to the motherboard? Does it read they RPMs and control speed? I'm trying to determine if it's the fan or the CoPro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGambit Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 how could I monitor the speed if i connect to motherboard? from bios? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevBiker Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Yes, from the BIOS, from the motherboards software or, quite likely, even from iCue/Link (as they will "see" motherboard fans ... usually). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGambit Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 hey, very interesting experiment. thank you for suggesting. I changed the fan to the cha_fan_2 in my motherboard. went to bios and there it is and also responding to silent, turbo, manual, extreme modes. Also I opened LINK and it is there. pictures attached. Seems to be the commander pro? Also plugged in there LL120's and not registering rpm either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevBiker Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 It would seem to be the Commander Pro, then, absolutely. I would suggest that you open a support ticket or, if it's within your return window, you exchange it with your reseller (that's usually quicker).

RGambit Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Hey Dev, Sorry to bother again UPDATE from last thread: So I got my commander pro replaced after all that trouble and everything is working fine. Unfortunately came across another problem when adding strips. I bought the lightning node + 4 strips pack and I am trying to install them. I plugged the node to the commander pro via the usb hub in the CoPo, sata to the node pro and the strips are working and can be color controlled. However now my commander pro disappeared from icue and I tried lots of troubleshooting and can't make it appear again. (note this is my 2nd commander pro) I tested the USB connections from motherboard - same result I tested diferent Sata cables - same result I tried diferent LED Hub's - same result I tried uninstall icue and delete all user preferences - same result restart icue service - same result uninstall icue and try link - same result remove the node pro completely from the system and strips - same result if I connect fans and H100v to the commander pro they spin, and since the node is attached to the usb hub in CoPo something tells me it is not power related but something else. can't make CoPo appear again.... I can connect the LED Hub to the node pro and everything (RGB related) works fine without the CoPo. However I wanted to be able to control temperatures and fan speeds with it.. Questions: - is commander pro and lightning node incompatible in some way? - when plugging in lightning pro is it possible that busted CoPo?? - Should I get a 3rd CoPo? I love this RGB solution from corsair but is giving me so many headaches that makes me wonder if it is worth the money and time. Seems like you fix something and another breaks when you add something to the setup. Quite frustrating. thank you for your help in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevBiker Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Questions: - is commander pro and lightning node incompatible in some way? Nope, not incompatible in any way. - when plugging in lightning pro is it possible that busted CoPo?? Unlikely. I have a NoPro, H115i Platinum and a HX1200i all plugged in to my CoPro. - Should I get a 3rd CoPo? uhh... hard to say. But considering that you've had 2 CoPros die, I'm thinking that it may be something else with your system that's potentially killing them. So ... a couple of questions ... can you check USBDeView to see if your CoPro shows up there? Is it powered by a straight SATA connection? No splitters, molex to sata adapters, etc? And, btw ... the microcontroller for the CoPro is on one USB port and the USB Hub is on the other. So it's totally plausible that one works and the other doesn't ... if there's an issue with the USB connector/wiring. I love this RGB solution from corsair but is giving me so many headaches that makes me wonder if it is worth the money and time. Seems like you fix something and another breaks when you add something to the setup. Quite frustrating. thank you for your help in advance I totally understand your frustration. The thing is ... not everyone has the same issues. I have a TON of stuff in multiple systems and never had much of an issue. Dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGambit Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 see attached, cant see it there devices used to show commander pro and now only shows node pro. Seems one replaced the other... can't explain it is it possible that any USB connected to CoPo is working (h100 + node pro) but the usb itself from the CoPo doesn't? doesn't make any sense. The signal for those 2 to be recognized would go through the CoPo usb itself no? hitting my head against the wall now.... Update: After that "icue" picture I just clicked restart service on icue and suddenly I have picture "disconnected". odd behaviours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
