iCUE H115i Elite Capellix with Corsair Obsidian Series 500D RGB SE - CoCo or CoPro?

[Fonou]

Hello!

 

I am building a new rig and I was thinking on buying a Corsair Obsidian Series 500D RGB SE and the new iCUE H115i Elite Capellix.

I understand that the case is coming with a commander Pro and the cooler is coming with the commander core.

 

 

I'm trying to figure out if I will have to use both CoCo and CoPro or do I need to remove one of them?

Based on what I was able to gather as information, it looks like that I'll have to remove the Commander Pro from the case and use the newer Commander Core for both the RBG fans of the case and the cooler.

 

Is that correct? Is that even do-able?

if you have also the diagram/drawing of the right configuration to do, that would be great too :)

 

thank you for your help!

The other idea that I have is that if the capelix is not working, I may choose a H115i RGB PLATINUM.

 

I think I should have posted that in the case section. My bad if that's the case.

You have to use the Commander Core for the Elite series coolers. All power and data is routed through the Com Core. You probably won't have more than 6 fans in the 500D, so that would be the only device you need for full fan speed and lighting control. You could save the Commander Pro for another build or purpose.
