Hi everyone! I just got a Commander Pro to control my SP120s along with everything else, and I couldn't get it to work. At first I had only 1/4 fans illuminated, and then had after moving things around, and then back to 1/4. They don't even seem to work now if I remove the ComPro and go back to the button controller. This makes me think they are broken vs. just not configured right or something. Also, what's interesting is when I plug in the power to the 6-input led module, one of the fans kinds of flashes and then goes dark. I think I figured out what happened though.
Reading the sticky thread on "HD120 RGB and SP120 RGB Fan connectors" it talks about not plugging in the 5v LED connector to any 12V connector, like the "Fan" connectors on the commander pro. Well, I believe that's the first thing I did when I put the Commander Pro in (after throwing out the directions, of course ![]() Thanks for your thoughts! |

Yeah ... if you put 12V into those 5V LEDs, you'll kill 'em. So if you put the RGB connectors into the CoPro's fan speed controller headers, they're dead.

I don't know that I would recommend re-buying SP120-RGB for too many people. Take a look at the ML, LL, or HD series before going forward. The SP-RGB will be cheaper, but don't really fit in with the other things in the Corsair RGB system. It would be a shame to replace them with identical models and then run into the issue of needing to run to separate systems if you want to expand lighting to the rest of the case.

Well ... the SP-RGB fans are the red-headed step children of the Corsair RGB World.
They are the least capable from a lighting perspective - only a single color. They are the least bright. They are the only ones that aren't WS2812B. They are 3-pin DC fans, rather than 4-pin, PWM fans ... so inferior control.
