DevBiker Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 What cable are you looking for? A cable for a fan hub? A cable for lighting strips? What are you trying to connect to the JCORSAIR header? Have you looked at the RGB FAQ (linked in my signature)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkJongMin Posted November 2, 2018 Author Share Posted November 2, 2018 its the corsair HD Hub i'm having problems understanding the cable that is needed for the Jcorsair Header on the Mobo fx in this vid [ame] [/ame] where he connects the hub to the Mobo, it's that cable im confused with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevBiker Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 That should be a standard Fan Hub cable. I don't know why they have a 3-wire connection on there. The JCORSAIR header should provide +5V on pin 1 - and the Fan Hub also provides +5V on Pin 1. So they have two "Power Out" connections connected to each other. I cannot imagine that this is a good idea. What you would need is a standard RGB LED Fan Hub cable - 3 pins / 2 wires. It provides Data (pin 2) and Ground (pin 3). Pin 1 is not required. The +5V on Pin 1 is for powering the RGB LED Strips - the Fan Hub has its own power connection and doesn't need input power on Pin 1. The +5V on the Fan Hub input connector is for powering the push-button controllers for the HD and SP fans. Hope that clears things up for you.

ParkJongMin Posted November 2, 2018 Author Share Posted November 2, 2018 where can you get that Rgb Led fan hub cable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevBiker Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 You can make them (see my signature) or, AFAIK, the only place to get that cable by itself is here: https://www.ebay.com/sch/piratedog_tech/m.html. You do get 2 of them with both the Commander Pro and the Lighting Node Pro. Which would be somewhat moot if you are planning on using the JCORSAIR header.

ParkJongMin Posted November 2, 2018 Author Share Posted November 2, 2018 ok, these cables are wayyyy to expensive. is it not just a better idea to get the lighting node pro, and then use that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevBiker Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Well, the Lighting Node Pro isn't sold by itself, only with 4 strips (https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/CORSAIR-LINK/CORSAIR-Lighting-Node-PRO/p/CL-9011109-WW) That said, you'd get far better control and more effects with a NoPro and iCue. And some lighting strips as well. As for the expense - you can always make your own. Or, if you are comfortable with it, some folks have used RaspPi-style jumper cables.

ParkJongMin Posted November 2, 2018 Author Share Posted November 2, 2018 ok, just to clarify. I can use buy the NoPro set and then use my hub with that. ps. what Z370 Mobo do you recommend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevBiker Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 ok, just to clarify. I can use buy the NoPro set and then use my hub with that. You can. I just got a new NoPro/Lighting Strips pack and it came with 2 fan hub cables. As for the z370 board ... cannot say. And, TBH, at this point, I'd get a Z390 if I was getting an Intel board.
