  1. Note I just installed the h115i with new x570 tomahawk this past Friday as I got my 5800x, and the clearance was incredibly tight with the height of the rear IO heat shield. So close I couldn't actually line up all the screws. I had to install on an angle, and use 4 screws just in the middle 4. Not at all ideal. So while 240mm rad is rated to work, and lined up fine with my old mobo with much smaller rear VRM heatsink, it's very tight with newer motherboards
  2. Yup! And because it's the same as the front fans, synced effects look good, and again, the MLs that come with the H115i sort of blend in given the angle
  3. It wont be perfectly in sync, but the ML are closer to SP in terms of LED arrangement than something with rings. Also, if you top mount the radiator, you won't really see the fans unless you look at an angle, so the difference won't be apparent. See my attached photo for what it looks like with the ML fans on top mounted rad and SP case fans https://imgur.com/FiQRLBi https://i.imgur.com/nG1UThf.jpg
  4. As an update, for the sake of science and the community, I went ahead and got an extra SP120 RGB Pro and 2xML140 RGB kit for my 115i and can confirm the SP120 RGB Pro works with the included node core and SP120 RGB Elites with the 4000x https://i.imgur.com/FiQRLBi.jpeg
  5. Welcome. Yup, I made an account just to ask about this too lol. For now I'm just going to use my existing non RGB fans from my carbide and h115i until I get some clear direction. The other thing I'm considering is the 2xML140 pack with node pro and 1x ML120 for the back to handle those separately, but in Canada that combo will cost me $200 which seems absolutely ridiculous just for 3 fans...
  6. After finally finding a review on mmorpg that installed a LL120 as exhaust, I can confirm that other fan types won't work. It didn't even light up period. Quote from review: "The iCUE 4000-series comes equipped with the iCUE Lightning Node Core smart control module, but it does have one fatal flaw. The module only seems to recognize fans within one product family. This is great news if you have other SP RGB Elite fans." Given the SP RGB Elite is not for sale at this time, there's no great news lol. The question remains - will the SP120 RGB Pro work?
  7. Thanks. My guess is they'll be for sale soon given it seems this case is part of a major product line up release (new cpu coolers as well) and to my knowledge SP RGB Elite have not been on any previous cases, but it would make things much easier for people if they were released the same time... At the very least they need to be way clearer in terms of compatibility with the default case fans and node. I'm not even sure SP120 pros would work
  8. Hi all, I've been doing a bunch of research on the new 4000x case and iCUE in general to try figure out what 120mm fan to add to the back given there is an included node core with the case. I'll be using my H115i RGB cooler top mounted but the fans are not RGB which is fine (for now;): ). From what I understand, typical SP120 RGB pro fans cannot be used with ML, QL etc. on the same node core. That said, the fans included with the 4000x iCUE RGB are SP120 Elite, and after digging, are actually PWM fans, so are a new fan altogether and different from what people normally refer to as the "SP" fans (also Corsair, why would you call em SP, I'm sure I'm not the only person confused by this). With that, would any other fan work with the included node core in this case and the front fans? Note if you're worried about my current specs, this will be for a rebuild with upgrade to zen3. I already have LPX RAM ready so the top mount should fit fine. Thanks in advance!
