sblantipodi Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Hi all, I would like to buy this: http://www.corsair.com/it-it/corsair-link-rgb-led-lighting-kit but I finished the USB 2.0 internal port on my motherboard since I have a Corsair AX860i PSU and a H80i GT cooler, and both this peripherals requires a USB2.0 internal header. How can I connect the RGB LED strips to USB? Does this strips "remember" the settings set via Corsair Link software if I close the corsair link software or outside windows, for example, in BIOS?

red-ray Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 You will need a CL Mini (CLCC) and as you can connect the AX860i via one of it's C-Link ports you don't need another USB header. I just power cycled my CLCC and it remembered the LED setup. The Lighting Node loses the LED setup and they are no longer for sale. You may also like an NZXT IU01 USB Expansion, but you don't need one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way to connect the LEDs is with the CL Mini. To connect two sets do: CL Mini -> LED-strip-1 -> LED-strip-2 The NZXT IU01 just gives you more internal USB headers.

Is there some cable extension that let me do CL Mini -> LED-strip-1 -> LED-strip-2 And put the strip1 on the bottom of the case and strip2 on the top of the case? I think that to do this I need 1meter extension at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The LEDs come with x 2 RGB LED extension cables (12”/30cm) extensions so you could either get two kits or if you can solder extend one of the extensions.
