Twjst Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I ordered most of the components for a new system in the 500d, but I'm struggling with the RGB and fan setup. Here is what I have: 6 LL120 fans Hydro X Pump with also cooling cpu and gpu LED strip H1000i To wire it all together I have the CoPro and FanHub from the case, in addition a lightning node pro + rgb fan hub from a 3pack LL120 fans Now if I want to connect all my components to the CoPro, I'm short on connections. Do I have to buy another CoPro to be able to connect it all, or is there another way? If so, in what slots of which CoPro do I plug in pump fan and rgb header? The manual is specific in which slots, but not on which CoPro if I chain them… I hope someone has experience and can help me with this. Thanks!

DevBiker Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 No, you don't need anything else. The HydroX components will daisy-chain on a single channel - typically Pump => GPU Block => CPU Block although it could also be GPU Block => Pump => CPU Block. So that's one channel on the Commander Pro. Then you'll need one channel for the fans and one channel for the strip(s). Between the Commander Pro and the Lighting Node Pro, you have 4 available channels. So you're all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twjst Posted August 10, 2019 Author Share Posted August 10, 2019 Maybe I'm messing this up in my head, let me try to get this. RGB control: 6 fans + HydroX components + LED strip will give me 8 cables I need to plug into LED header. From what I understand, I can plug in the fans in slots of the Fan LED Hub, but the HydroX chain and the LED strip need to go directly into one of the LED ports. On the CoPro, one LED slot is taken by the Fan LED Hub, the other by the NoPro. On the NoPro, there will be the LED strip and the chained Hydro X. Correct? So far so good. USB: On the CoPro, one USB slot taken by NoPro and one by the Power Supply. There I should be settled. Fan/Pump PWM control: 6 fans + hydro X components chained will give me 7 cables I need to plug into fan headers. Hydro X needs to go into channel 6 of the CoPro, Fan 1-5 will go into slots 1-5 on the CoPro. But where do I plug in fan number 6? Thanks for helping out!

c-attack Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 You will need a standard PWM splitter for one of the fans to accommodate the 6th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NoPro is connected via USB. It won't connect to the LED channel (slot). So you'll have: CoPro : LL Fan Hub / HydroX Chaing NoPro : Strips. The NoPro USB can be connected to the CoPro's USB headers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
