Flappz Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 So I bought the Obsidian 500Dse Case, and the commander pro was already mounted on the bottom front near the front trio fans... I have a LL120RGB Fan mounted in the back but the cable is not long enough to reach from the back of the case to the front. So my LEDs don't function the fans just spin and I cant control the speeds / etc. Is there any cable extender I can buy? If so leave the link below! Thank you, Aiden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappz Posted February 2, 2019 Author Share Posted February 2, 2019 *my front three fans work perfectly just the rear fans lightning / controls dont work cause of short cable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorePrime Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Re position the commander pro. Gently pry it off with a screwdriver and then mount it on the back out of the way. Mine came stuck to the front glass door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or if you just want to buy them, you can get them here: https://www.ebay.com/str/piratedogtech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in the UK Not that I'm aware of ... well, I think ModDIY still has the 4" extensions for $10US. And yeah, international shipping is outrageous.

DevBiker Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 For the PWM, sure. But you've got a ton of options there. It won't work for the RGB. This: https://www.moddiy.com/products/Corsair-Link-%7B47%7D-Commander-4%252dPin-Male%252dto%252dFemale-Sleeved-Extension-Cable.html It should work for the RGB.

DevBiker Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 okay thanks bud gonna order it soon. much appreciated! Good luck. My experience with ModDIY - and it's been extensive - is that it'll take at least 3 weeks, if not longer, to arrive. And no tracking. Unless you pay $30 for the premium shipping. Plus ... those cables are short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevBiker Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 That's really your call. The 1000D "Essentials" pack is based on Zotty's build and front panel (no push/pull). He can speak to the suitability of the length better than I can. Others have gone with 8 12" cables, another wanted 8 20" cables, a couple have gotten two packs for push pull ... so it really depends on your positioning and the fans that you are installing. There isn't one "right" answer. The Fan Splitter (included in the "Essentials" pack) lets you have 2 Fan Hubs on a single Lighting Channel and gives you perfectly sync'd effects, which looks cool on the front panel. Zotty has a couple of videos in his build thread that show that. **EDIT** for some reason, I thought that you had the 1000D, not the 500D. So ... ignore all of that. For the 500D, I'm not sure what length you'd need. It'll be based on the fan and where the fan hub is. While I'm sure that there have been folks with the 500D, I'm not sure what cables they've gotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
