NordicOW Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Hi! As the title says, I want to install 9 fans in my new upgrade that I will build and move components to in a couple of days. The fans I want to use are 9 Corsair LL120 RGB fans just to get that extra "BLING" factor. 3 fans on the bottom sucking air into the case, 3 on the side also sucking in air into the case, and then 3 at the top, but those will be connected to a Corsair Hydro H150i PRO RGB radiator. I already have 4 LL120 fans in my current case connected to a Corsair fanhub and the Lighting Node Pro, but I guess I need to get the Corsair Commander Pro as well to be able to connect more RGB fans into it? Do you think it is possible to connect 3 fans to the Lighting Node Pro and the other 6 to the Commander Pro? Where do I connect the other cables to get power for my 9 fans? The 4 I have now are all connected to a 4 pin connector on the motherboard. Btw, the case I want to connect all 9 fans to is called Lian Li PC-011 Dynamic.

DevBiker Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Yes, you absolutely can. A Commander Pro (CoPro) isn't required but it will make your life easier. Both the CoPro and the Lighting Node Pro (NoPro) have 2 lighting channels for an RGB Fan LED Hub so, if you don't have any additionally lighting, you'll only need one or the other. The CoPro will add fan control, 2 internal USB headers and 4 temp sensors to that as well. The NoPro will only control the lighting. Take a look at the RGB FAQ and post back if you have any specific questions or need clarification on anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I can connect 6 fans to the Commander Pro, and then for fan control of the other fans I can either connect them to the mobo and adjust the speed in the BIOS. Or should I use the NoPro too anyway so I can control all fan speeds in Corsair Link? Thanks for your reply! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevBiker Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 With the CoPro, you can control the fan speeds (up to 6 fans). You cannot control fan speeds with the NoPro - you'd need to use your motherboard in that case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can connect 6 fans to the CoPro, where does the 3 remaining RGB cables go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RGB Cables are connected to an RGB LED Fan Hub. Each RGB Fan Hub can support 6 fans. Each Lighting Channel can take a single fan hub. The Commander Pro has 2 Lighting Channels. Therefore, the Commander Pro (and the Lighting Node Pro) can support RGB for 12 fans. For Speed control, the Commander Pro supports 6 fans. This is a separate and completely different plug (as shown in the RGB FAQ). The H150i will control 3 fans for speed control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
