Corsair Commander Pro + HD140 Controller + H110i

I am trying to figure out how to connect my fans to the Commander Pro. I have the following.

Corsair Commander Pro

Corsair H110i

Corsair HD140 RGB LED x5

Corsair RGB Fan LED Hub

[RGB]

[Rear Case Fan] => Corsair RGB Fan LED Hub

[Front Case Fan 1] => Corsair RGB Fan LED Hub

[Front Case Fan 2] => Corsair RGB Fan LED Hub

[H110i Fan1] => Corsair RGB Fan LED Hub

[H110i Fan2] => Corsair RGB Fan LED Hub

[LED HUB] => Corsair Commander Pro

[POWER]

[Rear Case Fan] => Corsair Commander Pro

[Front Case Fan 1] => Corsair Commander Pro

[Front Case Fan 2] => Corsair Commander Pro

[H110i Fan 1] => H110i Power Cable

[H110i Fan 2] => H110i Power Cable

[Corsair RGB Fan LED Hub] => SATA Power Cable

[Corsair Commander Pro] => SATA Power Cable

The LED Hub is plugged into the RGB port 1 of the Corsair Commander Pro.

I think I see all fans in SIV. But only one of the case fans lights is working. I can control it in SIV. None of the others have lights on at all but they are spinning.

From what you have said my best guess is that you need to use [Link Setup] to set the number of items connected to the LED ports.

Note the CLCP 0.2.136 firmware has a regression and only 0% + 33% + 66% + 100% brightness work, see http://forum.corsair.com/forums/showthread.php?p=912119.

 

It would be easier for me to help you if you used http://forum.corsair.com/forums/profile.php?do=extra and posted [Link Status] + [Link Fans] + [Link LEDs] + [Link Setup] screen shots. See http://forum.corsair.com/forums/showthread.php?p=853900 for how to attach a file/screen image to a post.

Thank you! That fixed the two front fans. So now all the fans plugged into the CLCP are working. But the two fans plugged into the CLCS are not. I think I can see all fans in the corsair link status.

Should the power for the h100i fans be plugged into the CLCP instead of the h100i power cables?

Should the power for the fans be plugged into the same port number on the CLCP as the RGB light is plugged into the HD140 Controller?

So now all the fan LEDs plugged into the CLCP are working. But the two fan LEDs plugged into the CLCS are not.

1. If you plan to use SIV to control things you need to specify -AIOCTL, see the SIV User Guide.
   
2. You have the CLCP 0.1.127 firmware which is what I suspect was installed at the factory. I have not tested with this and advise you to update it. You need to use CL4 to do this and should exit SIV before doing the firmware update :!:
   
3. All the fans are connected as I would recommend and working as expected :sunglasse.
   
4. The fan control and fan LED connections are totally disjoint and don't need to be the same, that said I would make them the same so I did not get confused.
   
5. How many fan LED hubs do you have and how are the fan LEDs connected to these? I guess you have two, if so is the CLCS fan LED hub getting the +5 volts it needs, connected to CLCP port 2 and are the H110i fan LEDs connected to 1 + 2?
   
6. I advise you to connect the H110i fan LEDs to 4 + 5 of the CLCP LED hub, set the items to 5 and set the CLCS Port Disabled :idea:. Please let us know how this works out.
   
7. By doing #6 this also means you could connect some LED strips to the CLCS LED port ;):.

1. I have enabled -AIOCTL

2. I will update the firmware today and report back.

5. I have one LED hub that came with the HD140 pack. All LEDs are plugged into this (2 front case fans, 1 rear case fan, 2 h110i fans). I replaced the SP140 fans on the h110i (CLCS?) with two HD140 fans.

6. When you say CLCP LED hub what do you mean? It didnt come with one. The CLCP has two LED ports. I have the LED hub I got from the HD140's plugged into the LED port 1 on the CLCP. Also, I dont see any led port on the H110i? How should I disable it?

Edit: I see in the picture on the website the LED hub on #6. But I dont think it comes with one. Here is a list of the package contents.

Package contents

x1 Commander PRO

x2 RGB LED hub cables

x4 Thermal sensors

x4 Fan extension cables

x2 Mounting tape

x1 Installation guide

I replaced the SP140 fans on the h110i (CLCS?) with two HD140 fans.

These need to be connected to to 4 + 5 on the LED hub, the CLCP (2) items set to 5 and the CLCS (2) should be set to Port Disabled.

Note: The CLCP LEDs are LEDs connected to CLCP port 1 and the CLCS LEDs are LEDs connected to CLCP port 2. The CLCS and H100i are not related at all.

Edit: I see in the picture on the website the LED hub on #6. Looking for it in my packaging.

Which website? What is the URL?

Just set the CLCP (2) items to 5 on [Link Status], press [save] and I suspect the LEDs of all 5 fans will be on.

http://www.corsair.com/en-us/corsair-commander-pro the picture shows a 2 port led hub. But the package contents doesnt have it. I only have the 6 port led hub I got from the hd140 twin pack.

I get what youre saying to do now. I did what you said and it worked. All five fans are on!

Thank you so much.

Also, I really appreciate you building this tool and your willingness in helping us learn how to use it.

http://www.corsair.com/en-us/corsair-commander-pro the picture shows a 2 port led hub.

That's not a 2 port led hub, it's a CLNP. No wonder I was confused :laughing:.

I have to half guess how things are connected and from what you said deduced you had 2 x 6 port LED hubs rather than one.

Anyway I am pleased to hear it's all now working :biggrin:.

Part of my learning curve here is also the terminology.

Much clearer, but I think shows the fan LEDs connected to the LED hub ports 2 -> 6 and it must be 1 -> 5

Fixed. Thanks

Fixed. Thanks

Thank you, it's a little thing but I suspect you can see how this could cause confusion
