timlajaunie Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Good day, readers. I'm gearing up for a new PC build that will include the following components of interest: Hydro X Series XC7 RGB CPU Water Block (115X/AM4)Hydro X Series XG7 RGB 20-SERIES GPU Water Block (2080 TI FE)Hydro X Series XD5 RGB Pump/Reservoir ComboML120 PRO RGB LED 120MM PWM Fan - 3 Fan Pack with Lighting Node PROML120 PRO RGB LED 120MM PWM Fan - 3 Fan Pack with Lighting Node PROML120 PRO RGB LED 120MM PWM Fan - 3 Fan Pack with Lighting Node PROML120 PRO RGB LED 120MM PWM Fan - 1 Pack In short, I need to drive LED's for two water blocks, a reservoir, and 10 fans. I also need to drive the PWM signal and power for all 10 fans. I would like to do this with a single Commander Pro! Here is my plan for a single Commander Pro to tackle the task: (Starting CoPro supported power output - 4.5A minus MCU) CoPro Fan Ports 1 through 52-way fan splitter with 2 ML120 Pro RGB fans on each fan port0.219A per fan * 2 fans per port = 0.438A per port * 5 ports = 2.19A totalPossibly less power draw if the LED's are included in the 0.219A rating for each fan, which will be handled by lighting node pro explained below. [*]CoPro Fan Port 6 Pump PWM cable0.0A power draw since pump is self-powered. (Remaining CoPro supported power output 4.5A - 2.19A = 2.31A minus MCU) CoPro LED Channel 1Reservoir LED cable direct to CoPro channel.GPU LED cable to reservoir daisy-chain connector.CPU LED cable to GPU daisy-chain connector. (I cannot seem to find the power draw for all LED's in the CPU block, GPU block, and reservoir. Therefore, I cannot determine a power draw to add to the 2.19A total fan draw.) CoPro LED Channel 2Lighting Node Pro LED Fan Hub on Lighting Node Pro Channel 15 ML120 Pro RGB fans connected to LED Fan Hub 1 LED Fan Hub on Lighting Node Pro Channel 25 ML120 Pro RGB fans connected to LED Fan Hub 2 (Remaining CoPro supported power output - 2.31A minus MCU and unknown GPU+CPU+Res LED power requirement = ??) Allllllll that just to ask, would this shake out as I plan it to? Am I overloading the CoPro unit considering it can provide up to 4.5A including MCU, 2.19A fan draw, and unknown water block + reservoir power draw? I appreciate any feedback!
