  1. Sounds like your LED strip is defective/damaged, you probably need a new one. Something similar happened to me but Corsair support refused to help or even let me pay in full for replacement part.... I had told them I believed mine was damaged when I used a SATA power cable that wasn't designed for the PSU I had... You will notice they offer replacements on this forum to everyone who reports the same issue and doesn't know the cause, I wish I had done like everyone else.
  2. Yes you do! It may work in some capacity without but for full customization you need the controller...
  3. First check all connections, the fans need to be connected to a rgb hub and that hub needs to be connected to a lighting node, and all hubs and nodes need to be individually connected to SATA power. It is important to only use SATA power cables designed specifically for your power supply, mixing and matching power cables will permanently burn out your LEDs. Remember that the fans and strip should have default lighting during boot before the icue software even starts, whether or not this is happening should narrow down if it is software or hardware problem.... please provide more info!
  4. you need to set the first and last colour the same for it to loop smoothly
  5. See my other thread, I just uploaded some pictures! http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=185146 Also - the hockey stick piece is only correctly controlled by the specific lighting node pro from the spec omega rgb case - commander pro has no option to configure this and neither does the regular lighting node pro (notice you actually have to tell these devices what exactly is plugged into them) I had the special lighting node so it was no issue for me, without that you will need to configure the strip the same as 3x expansion LEDs instead of a single 30 piece unit... The only difference here is that some of the presets may behave differently, but this is barely noticeable and completely manageable! custom sets can replicate the actual strip perfectly!
  6. Here's a few pics of what I've done http://i63.tinypic.com/28bs7yf.jpg http://i67.tinypic.com/2rdyejq.jpg http://i66.tinypic.com/vpb22e.jpg http://i66.tinypic.com/2jcg8l.jpg http://i68.tinypic.com/2wd60w7.jpg http://i63.tinypic.com/2igemug.jpg
  7. also - even if you were to find a front panel with the RGB strip included, for that to work correctly you would also need the lighting node pro specific to the spec omega rgb case!
  8. the rgb strip is not included with the front panel, it is a separate hockey stick shaped piece that screws into the panel... i spent many hours trying to find this part but no luck, but i was able to modify the expansion led strips to fit inside the hockey stick shaped piece for full rgb customization
  9. this: https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811978009&Description=rgb%20expansion&cm_re=rgb_expansion-_-11-978-009-_-Product im not sure if the node from the non-RGB case would respond to the RGB strip but using it as a led strip would produce all the same effects
  10. Hey guys FYI I was able to repair this myself The LEDs inside this case are identical to the ones in the LED expansion strips... And the lighting node pro can't even tell the difference.... So I took the plastic piece off 3 strips, folded them to the right length and stuck them on top of the fried strip... Worked like a charm, perhaps even brighter than stock because the LEDs are now raised closer to the strip! I would imagine any SPEC case owners could switch to the RGB strips using this trick also... Very easy to do!!!
  11. EDIT - RESOLVED WITH VERY EASY MOD, SEE NEXT POST PICS BELOW!!!! original post: need advice on where to get replacement led strip for this case.. my strip got fried and corsair support says they cannot help due to user damage... the part i need is as follows but i cannot find a supplier, i got the case from newegg and they said they do not carry this replacement part... help! https://www.corsair.com/ca/en/Categories/Products/Accessories-%7C-Parts/PC-Components/Cases/Carbide-SPEC-OMEGA-RGB-Front-Panel-LED-Strip%2C-RGB/p/CC-8900286
