Tumbler Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Hello everyone, I've come here to clarify a doubt. Hopefully, anyone can help me. I'm looking to purchase a corsair H150i but in a different RGB enviroment. The issue i'm facing is: can i run different fans (from another brand) that use 4 pins in your corsair H150i? I did see on FAQ that 4 pin (PWN) fans will work but it did not reference if this is for the same brand or all brand. Any help is, of course, very appreciated. Thank you in advance :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-attack Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Most any PWM fan can be run from the H150i internal controller, provided they aren't pulling industrial level electrical current. One thing to be wary of is multiple RGB software control programs. Active control over the cooler will require Corsair's iCUE software. In the absence of the program, the fans will run but you are going to be stuck on a rainbow across the pump LED. If necessary, you can use the prior version Link to set a basic lighting and coolant temperature based fan curve that will stay without active software control.

Tumbler Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 c-attack, Thank you for the info. The LED are connected independently to RGB Header i believe, like rest of the fans. What i mean is, instead of connecting to a RBG controller from Corsair, i would connect like the rest of the fans in chain to the RGB Header.

c-attack Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I don't foresee any unworkable issues. Asus Aura and Link/iCUE occasionally glitch, but it is nothing that will ruin your day and easily correctable by temporarily exiting the offending program. You will need someone else to vouch for GA Fusion or MSI Mystic Light. Regardless, none of them should impact fan control directly. For your proposed arrangement, I would use Link (not iCUE) to set the LED light and fans, then set Link not to run on start-up. It can be launched to make adjustments or if needed.

Slightly off-topic, but I would always get issues with Asus AURA and iCUE - to the point where I just uninstalled the AURA software as that was the one I used the least. It would typically work for 30 mins-1 hour after boot but then the colours would glitch and just do their own thing. Got very annoying...part of the reason why I am installing the CoPro and RGB fans/strips from Corsair now, so I can do away with AURA (although my motherboard and gfx card will no longer light up, but that's a small price to pay - at least the RAM, the cooler, the fans and the strips will work).
