Hey DevBiker, So, after waking from my turkey coma I did all the above and then some. Update BIOS, USB & Chipset drivers Confirmed that XHCI Handoff was set to enabled Disabled Fast Startup Turned on the PC and.....nothing. AIO still wasn't being seen. So, on a hunch, I pulled the CoPro from the mobo and attached the AIO directly to that USB header. Booted up the PC and VOILA! There it was. I happened too have another CoPro lying around, hooked everything up to that and VIOLA!!! AIO and CoPro are now showing in iCue. Somehow both USB hubs on the first CoPro were bad? No idea but I'm gonna go watch another episode of "The Mandalorian", have some Dalmore and re-do my PC wiring. Thanks for all your help!

Fantastic. Thanks a heap. I'll work on these later and provide an update. If you celebrate Turkey Day, I hope you have a great one.

No. The cooler does not show up at all in USBDeView as far as I can see. The CoPro does but there is no listing for the cooler. See here. Still a bit confused. I have a screenshot of the Mobo (ASUS ROG Strix X470-F Gaming) layout from the manual here. A more magnified image of the bottom row of connectors is here. So, there are two USB 2.0 headers on the board, indicated by number 15 in the magnified image. These connectors have 9 pins in two rows. Top row has 5 pins and the bottom row has 4 pins with the bottom right pin being the missing pin. These two headers are listed as "USB34" and "USB12". I have the CoPro USB cord in USB12 and the ThermalTake units in USB34. The only items connected to the CoPro is the USB cord from the H150i Pro AIO and the Fan LED hub for the 3 fans attachd to the AIO radiator. I'm assuming this is the correct way to connect the CoPro to the mobo as I'm able to manage the fan leds via Corsair. Yeah, I'm not seeing the cooler in USBDeView but maybe I'm reading it wrong? If I can download the report from USBDeView I can share it. Not running any other monitoring tools at the moment. Thanks for all your help!

Thanks DevBiker. I checked everything and it all looks kosher. Hydro pump USB is correctly connected to the CoPro and CoPro shows up in USBDeView. I'm just confused by what you mean when you said "Also, make sure that the CoPro USB has both ports on the motherboard - some motherboards have single port USB connectors, even though they have all 9 pins." The mobo I'm using was 2 USB 2.0 connectors. I'm using one for the CoPro and one for the ThermalTake fan hubs. Any other thoughts as to why the AIO isn't showing up in iCue? Thanks again.

Quick update. I have the H150i Pro installed. USB cord is going to one of the USB headers on a Commander Pro. RGB LED Fan Hub is going to the same Commander Pro for the 3 LL120 fans on the radiator. Other connections for the H150i Pro are the fan cable connection to the AIO_PUMP header on the mobo, the three radiator fans connected to the 3 fan headers from the pump head and obviously the SATA power. Only other Corsair products are two Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro When I look in iCue, all I see are the ram sticks and the commander pro. Curiously, when I click on the ram, I see the pump head for what I assume to be the cooler however I cannot interact with it. See image here. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Ah ha. Now that clarifies things. Thanks!

Thanks for the info. It's so weird that none of the combs I've used will fit the 24 pin.

Unsure if this is the norm for all 24 pins as I've never really looked that deeply however this time I'm trying to use cable combs and the one's I got simply do not fit. Upon closer examination, I see that the 24-pin cable actually has 27 cables as depicted in the image below: There are three places where there are three wires. Despite these wires being thinner than most, I still can't get the combs to fit. I should also note that the above diagram is not 100% accurate. Going from left to right (pins 24 and 12) the wire count is: 2-2-3-3-1-3-2-2-2-2-2-3 Is this something that is unique to just this PSU or is this the norm? Can't imagine it being the norm since cable combs aren't fitting. I've checked online but can't find anything about this. Other Corsair PSU manuals I have checked do not have these layouts in them so I haven't been able to confirm there either. If this is specific to this PSU, can anyone suggest a PSU that has just a 24 pin cable? Or is this driven by the mother board and/or cpu? I'm using a Asus ROG STRIX X470-F Gaming ATX AM4 with an AMD Ryzen 5 2600. Thanks.

I made a classic blunder when designing my new pc build. I completely forgot that PC fans are one way airflow. This presents a problem when using some RGB fans such as the LL120 as an intake. In order to do this, I would have to turn the fan around which pretty much negates the use of the LED ring on the fan case. Which led me to thinking, in the age of RGB everything, why aren't manufacturers now making fans that are either intake or exhaust? Is it just a coast saving issue, where manufacturers don't want to have to design and build two different fan models or is it something else, perhaps some technical limitation? I, for one, would be more than happy to pay a few extra $$ to never have to see the brace on the back of a fan.

So it's possible to daisy chain the Commander Pro? If that's the case then I can just have the H150i Pro on one USB 2.0 header and the Commander Pro's on the other. Thanks!

I'm using the Asus ROG STRIX X470-F Gaming ATX in my new build and I want to make sure that I'm not going to faf anything up by making a bad connection. The board has 4 USB connectors: One USB 3.1 Gen 2 for front panel connections. One USB 3.1 Gen 1 Two USB 2.0 connectors I'm using two Commander Pro's as I've got 9 fans and a few led strips. I was planning on connecting them to the 2.0 connectors and connect the H150i to the gen 1 3.1 header. I checked the H150i Pro manual and it just says "Using the included CORSAIR LINK USB cable, attach pump unit to a motherboard USB header" so I wanted to check first to see if anyone knew of any potential issues with connecting to a 3.1 Gen 1 connector. Alternatively, could I daisy chain the Commander Pros by connecting the first to one of the 2.0 connectors and then connect the second Commander to one of the USB slots on the first Commander. Still a third choice is to use a simple USB header splitter to hook two Commander Pro's to one of the 2.0 headers and the H150i Pro pump to the other 2.0 header. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Great. So fan control is attached to the pump head and led control goes to the led hub which is attached to the Commander Pro. Thanks!

I'm in the midst of erecting my new build. I'm using the white LL120 RBG fans in conjunction with the H150i AIO. I've also referred to Zotty's RGB guide and was planning on using the "Corsair RGB Fan & Commander Pro Setup." My question is in regards to the 3 fans on the AIO. If I connect them to the three fan connectors on the pump head, will I see them in the iCUE software in order to include them in the RBG settings I create? I assume I would however I want to confirm. I'm guessing that the fan control for these three fans would connect to the pump head while the LED controls would connect to the LED Fan Hub? Is that correct? Thanks.

I did not actually. I must have gone right past it. Thanks so much. This is exactly what I was looking for.

I'm working on a new build and there's really no other way to say it; I'm an RBG lover. I'm planning on having: 9 LL120 RGB Fans 2 LED Strips; one for my GPU backplate and one for my gpu support 1 H150i Pro AIO Cooler Since I obviously can't connect that many fans to my mobo, I'm planning on using the Corsair Commander Pro to consolidate a number of these items. I plan on using one Commander Pro to control 6 fans and a second to control the remaining three. If needed, I can also run the two LED strips from the 2nd Commander but they are from the Lighting Node Pro kit so if there are sufficient mobo connections, I might make those stand alones. I should be able to connect the H150i directly to the mobo as the mobo I'm using has dedicated AIO connectors but I can also connect it to the Commander. My question is in regards to the Commander Pro. The product listing on Corsairs website lists is as a "Lighting and Fan Speed Controller." To me this means that this will allow me to control fan speed and lighting right from this one device so just hook up 6 fans and connect it to my mobo and I'm golden but now that I'm looking at it, I kind of think that the "lighting" refers to the two separate LED connections. In a few videos I have seen mentioned the need to use the Corsair RBG Fan LED Hub with each Commander Pro as well. In these videos the instructions are to connect the PWM cord to the Commander and the LED cord to the RBG Fan LED hub. So which is it? Do I need just the Commander Pro or do I also need the RGB Fan LED hub as well? That's what it shows in the video with Dimitri from hardwarecanucks on the product page and yet install guide for the Commander Pro makes no mention of the RGB Fan LED hub so I just wanted to confirm which it is. As for actual connections, on the first Commander Pro I could have 6 LL120 Fans, 2 LED Strips, the H150i Pro AIO, and 4 temp sensors. On the other Commander Pro I would have the remaining 3 fans and room to expand if needed. Does that sound about right? Thanks.
