cars10 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 I have a commander pro + Lighting node pro that I want to connect through their respective RGB LED 3-pin ports (and not use a USB cable, which I can't find anymore) in other words, I'm using a Male-To-Male 3-pin corsair RGB LED cable that you normally use to connect corsair RGB strips/RGB Fan controllers to be able connect the lighting node pro and commander pro will this work? here is an illustration https://imgur.com/a/iW3oJds the PURPLE line/cable is what i mean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevBiker Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 No, it won't work, no way, no how. You might blow out the NoPro or the CoPro tho. As for the USB cable, any standard mini USB cable will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cars10 Posted November 21, 2018 Author Share Posted November 21, 2018 okay, since i can't find my mini usb to motherboard usb cable, i decided to order one of these... will it work? https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/31zO-3YnT-L.jpg it only has one row of pins/cables on the motherboard side, versus the stock cable that had two rows. not sure if that is important?

DevBiker Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Yes, that'll work. You'll just need to be super-careful to plug it in correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevBiker Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Indeed.. beware of doing this... http://i.imgur.com/6XyqsL8h.png Not just that but reversing it. Tip: Black/Ground wire goes on the same side as the "key" on the USB connection - so the side where a pin is missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cars10 Posted November 21, 2018 Author Share Posted November 21, 2018 its not immediately apparent to me how to plug it in properly since i dont have the cable yet, but i will just compare with another internal usb header i have already plugged in. thanks for your help and answers!!! edit: oh i remember now, its only "doubleheaded" for 2 usb ports. each one if 1 usb port.
