sym30l1c Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 (edited) Hey Zotty, I'm planning to do something similar (to a much smaller scale!) with my build and I have a couple of questions. I'm connecting the H150i and 3 LL120 fans to an ASUS Crosshair Hero VII. - The Hero VII has 2 USB headers (similar to your mobo). I was thinking of connecting the AIO USB and the fan led hub USB to those headers, but I've read several people had problems with it. Are you using both USB headers? - Alternatively, I'm considering getting the Commander Pro. In that case: can I connect both the AIO USB and the fan hub USB to the CoPro, and just have one USB cable from the CoPro connected to the mobo? It looks like that's what you are doing in your build. - As for the H150i fans should I connect them to the cable coming out of the AIO pump head or to the CoPro? Thanks in advance!

Zotty Posted December 2, 2018 Author Share Posted December 2, 2018 Hi dude.. Right.. Copro.. that's the way forward buddy. helps unify all control in one place with one piece of software, iCUE. Copro really is the heart of the Corsair Ecosystem imho. Re H150i pro.. you also using the stock fans (push/pull)? I would run the Rad fans for power (rpm) off the the H150i as this will ensure correct operation if iCUE happens not to be running for any reason. if you are planning push/pull.. run the H150i fans off the the H150i and the LL fans off of the Commander Pro... have you read my Faq thread? http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=173880 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sym30l1c Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Thanks! Re H150i pro.. you also using the stock fans (push/pull)? I'm using the stock fans, but I'm not doing push/pull with the RGB fans. I'll use the stock fans with the radiator for exhaust, and use the RGB fans for intake. have you read my Faq thread? http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=173880 I did. What I wasn't sure about is whether I could do AIO USB ---> CoPro Fan Hub USB ---> CoPro CoPro USB ---> Mobo USB header Now that I'm sure I can I'll go ahead and get the CoPro. Thanks!

Zotty Posted December 2, 2018 Author Share Posted December 2, 2018 Fan Hub Usb dude?.... if you mean the RGB Fan LED Hub... that connects to one of the Commander Pros LED channels and it also has a Sata Power connection... but yeah.. CoPro in Mobo usb header.... H150i into CoPro usb. (assuming) Rgb Fan LED Hub into CoPro LED Channel 1.. LL fans into RGB Fan LED Hub.. H150i Controlling it's own fans.....

CoPro in Mobo usb header.... H150i into CoPro usb. (assuming) Rgb Fan LED Hub into CoPro LED Channel 1.. LL fans into RGB Fan LED Hub.. H150i Controlling it's own fans..... Yes! Sorry about that, I got confused. Last time I built a PC was in 2001... It's the Lighting Pro that needs the USB, not the LED fan hub. My initial problem was that H150i + LL120 RGB kit require 2 separate USB headers on Mobo because Lighting Pro (in the kit) needs one. With CoPro I don't need the Lighting Pro and I can connect the H150i USB directly to the CoPro. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zotty Posted December 2, 2018 Author Share Posted December 2, 2018 Yes! Sorry about that, I got confused. Last time I built a PC was in 2001...

mrgooden Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 (edited) Much like I have mine now Zotty. Rewired last night (Insomniac off Discord). Enjoying the integration with WPE now. I just made one of those splitters myself to use. Edited December 4, 2018 by mrgooden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrgooden Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Every day this week, I have and will continue to come home, take off the cable side glass and cover and doing cable management as well as moving location of stuff. I have already deleted 16 RGB extensions and 12 PWM extensions. I may finally be happy with the cable management by the end of this week. After Christmas, I am going from black chrome brass pipe and ordering chrome and redoing both loops. I need to address the mounting of my pumps some and straighten/level out the piping a little more. This is a never ending build. Last weekend I delidded my 7900X. I was running 4.6Ghz Prime 95 at 95C. After the delid, I dropped to 76C. I am now at 4.7, prime 95 at 81C. I have booted 4.8, 4.9, even 5.0. I cannot even get 4.8 Ghz to pass prime. Keeps locking up, 84C. I got aggravated after so many reboots. I'll try again after I'm done with everything else.

Pizzo Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I just got my case in yesterday, tried to tackle the beast. I have a few questions. Does the front glass pan swivel, mine is connected by 1 corner and I can rotate it a full 360 degrees, not sure if this is the standard. How many RGB Extension cables are roughly needed for this build, I did not purchase any, and I feel like I may have under estimated their need.

Scary.... not a feature on mine buddy. solidly attached top and bottom. How many RGB Extension cables are roughly needed for this build, I did not purchase any, and I feel like I may have under estimated their need. yep you certainly need extensions bud.. both RGB and PWM... DevBiker does do a 1000d specific pack.. not sure what it contains and maybe he will jump in. I needed to extend both cables on all 13 in mine upon arrival... shock at size of box?.. when out of box was it.. MUCH bigger than you expected?

This is Scary because my case came unhinged and broken then. Damnit. I knew the case was big, but the box it came in was HUGE. Its taller than I thought it would be, but slimmer as far as width go.

Pizzo Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 So on the top part of the Front Glass Panel, it is screwed in in two spots? Can it be removed, maybe just one of the screws is missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have managed to get rid of all rgb extensions and some pwm extensions. I had extensions everywhere. When I'm done this week I'll snap a picture. It will still be horrid.

Pizzo Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 DANG!!!! that sucks buddy.. have they rattled loose in transit? Thats what it looks like. It isn't actually screws that hold the glass onto the case. It looks like some type of glue/adhesive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
