Sir_Puppy Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Hello! I'm new here. I have bought a Crystal 570x and I would like to put a Corsair h115 ipro on top and adding two LL140 fans. I would subsequently control all of the fans via software or via motherboard (asrock fatality k6), but how? Can the fan controller included be recognized by a software? Could control the LL fans via corsair link and the normal sp120 included with the case via motherboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevBiker Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 The H115i Pro can control the LL fans with the integrated controller; you can control this with iCue or with Link. The rest of the fans would be controlled from the motherboard. Or, if you want, you can control them with iCue or Link using the Commander Pro - but that's completely optional.

Thank you so much for you prompt answer. So the AIO controls are fine but i dnt know how to connect the 3 (4 bcs ill buy one soon) sp120 on the mobo... Do you think the LL are good for the radiator?

You may lose a little bit of efficiency compared to the stock MLs but not enough that it'll be a problem. As for connecting the SP120s to the motherboard ... your motherboard should have fan headers. How many? Dunno; can't say as you've not filled out system specs or mentioned that. You may need splitters if you don't have enough headers. I would suggest getting PWM splitters (even though the SP120s aren't PWM Fans) because they will work for both DC an PWM fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-attack Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 You need to be cautious about putting a 280mm radiator in the top of the 570X. It is common to have collision issues with the RAM, VRM heatsink, or ATX plug. This is just one of many threads, but it has pictures and alternate solutions. http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=177036&highlight=570x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Puppy Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share Posted August 26, 2018 The mobo is the asrock fatality k6 z370. I've attached a screenshot with the rgb header. I've a cooler master 3 to 1 split cable with 4 pin. It'll works with my mobo? Or i need another cable. Sorry but when i said " i dnt know how to connect the 3 (4 bcs ill buy one soon) sp120 on the mobo" i meant the RGB control not the speed of the fans. I have these splitters (https://www.amazon.it/Noctua-NA-SYC1-Kit-Cavi-Nero/dp/B00KG8K5CY/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1535302100&sr=8-3-fkmr1&keywords=noctua+pwm+split) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir_Puppy Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share Posted August 26, 2018 And with 240mm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-attack Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 H100i Pro or other 240mm should not be a problem. It's the extra 20mm of width that causes issues. 240mm can also be easily front mounted. You can also go 360mm (H150i) in front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Puppy Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share Posted August 26, 2018 yea but with 150i i'll lose the rgb fan no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-attack Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 None of the coolers come with RGB fans. All of the coolers work with the ML-RGB, HD-RGB, and LL-RGB fans. Those come in both 120mm and 140mm sizes, so there is something for each cooler, but it is a separate purchase. If you mean you want to retain the use of the SP-RGB fans that come with some versions of the case, those are 3 pin DC and will not run from the cooler's PWM fan controller. Unfortunately, it is a bit worse than that. You can't mix and match different RGB fan types on the same RGB hub and using 3 SP-RGB and 3 of something else-RGB on this case has definite issue. You need two RGB lighting hubs and a second cable to connect to the necessary Lighting Node Pro or Commander Pro. This effectively forces you to buy the Commander Pro with the necessary cable or to try and make your own. Be very specific about what you want to do. There are some pitfalls with common configurations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
