awm Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Hey guys, new here and first post. Hopefully I put this in the correct area. If not, feel free to move it or let me know and I can post in the correct place. :biggrin: So I haven't built a PC in about 8 years which was before all the RGB buzz. I decided to build my new PC with the Lian Li PC-011 Dynamic and I'm currently setting up 9 LL120 fans. I'm going to run 3 bottom intake, 3 side intake, and 3 top exhaust on the AIO. My question has to do with the 9 fans, connector, and Lighting node pro. Can I connect 6 fans to 1 connector, 3 fans to a second connector, and then have both those connectors going to the lighting node pro? Do I need the commander pro in my personal situation? Just looking to get as much help as I possibly can. Sorry if this seems like a straight forward Q&A but I just wanted to get info before I rush into doing something that might overload any hardware. Especially considering I haven't built a system in quite a while. Thanks in advance for any advice/help, I appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevBiker Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 So ... you can do 6 on one hub and 3 on another and connect them to the NoPro. The CoPro is optional but it's good for fan speed control. Check out the RGB FAQ in my sig - it'll answer LOTS of questions for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So just to make sure I got it correct, Ill plug the RGB into the hub and then the hub into the NoPro. The power for each fan I would have to plug directly into the motherboard or is there some work around for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the fan motor, yes, directly into the motherboard OR you can use the (optional) Commander Pro. The CoPro will also power and control the fan motor in addition to the RGBz. Again, that's optional tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might need the CoPro... Thanks again for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
