Ironmind91 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 I just moved my rig into a 460x case (in love) and am trying to get my 6x hd120 fans to work with the Commander Pro. All 6 fans are connected to the hub the fans came with, then that's connected to LED1 on the commander pro. All the fans are working but only fan1 is lit. I'll post a link to pics of Corsair Link and how I've hooked it all up. Can anyone help? https://imgur.com/a/vbh3b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevBiker Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Try rearranging the fans on the hub. They run in serial (like Christmas lights) and if one is bad, they'll take the rest of them down with it. It's possible that either Fan#1 or Fan#2 are the culprit ... so move 'em around on the RGB Fan Hub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fan that was already in 1 is now in 6 and wont work. Every combination gets the same result. Wtf.. I also have multiple hubs (one came with the case and 2 from both 3 packs of fans) I've tried switching hubs and got the same result still.

Especially since you switched hubs and got the same result. Just a couple of things before I'm out of ideas ... 1. Make sure that they are getting proper power. The Commander Pro, especially, should not be on a molex-to-SATA adapter. Don't know if this is the case for you but check. The Fan hub should be OK (it uses the 5v rail and maybe the 12v but not 3.3V) on an adapter but the Commander Pro definitely is not. 2. Try moving the fan hub on to LED #2. 3. Try using Sequential (channel effect) ... more as a test than anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried all of that but nothing worked, I'm about to throw my whole rig out the window and go live in a cave... I ended up unplugging everything and plugging in only the fan hub and one fan, Powered though sysfan1 and even then only slot 1 lit anything up so I don't think it's the Commander pro I think I just have 3 bad fan hubs? I've spent all day switching fan hubs, changing which fan is plugged in where, updating and rolling back firmware...I think I might return a 3 pack of fans and use the new hub to test? Really appreciate the help mate, so frustrated haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Carbohydrate Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 FWIW I had the same problem and it turned out to be a bad fan hub *and* a bad commander Pro. Do you have a Lighting Node Pro so you can remove the Commander Pro from the equation? In the end I ordered new ones and all fans lit up and worked straight away. Here's the thread covering what I did: http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=173283 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the thread covering what I did: http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=173283 Hi Mr C, I saw your thread as well I've been reading through the forums all day trying to figure out what my problem was. I don't have a lighting nod no but I do have 3 fan hubs that I've been switching through all day. I unplugged the Command Pro and only plugged my fans into the hub and they still wouldn't light up so I'm assuming its the hub? it is a little strange that all 3 of mine aren't working though.

Zotty Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Do you have a 'HD' button controller to throw in in place of the commander pro? this could cancel out the CoPro being at fault.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried that, plugged only one fan into a hub then a hd controller to it and it worked until I plugged that fan into another slot then nothing.

Zotty Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 did you still have a fan in slot one though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironmind91 Posted December 30, 2017 Author Share Posted December 30, 2017 did you still have a fan in slot one though? Yep, just tried again with a fan in 1, 2 and 3 and still only 1 lit up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironmind91 Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 So today I exchanged one of my 3 packs for another one, came all the way home and plugged everything into the new fan hub.....TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM! THATS 4 FAN HUBS NOW! Can I seriously get 4 bad fan hubs? CP works fine, the issue must be the new fan hub because when I plug in the hand controller I still get only 4 fans on. Well 4 fans on is better then one so I guess I made progress..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
