Commander Pro + Lighting Node Core with 8 Fans with Sppliter Y

[dhy]

Hi everyone,

 

I'm trying to mount setup with commander pro + 8 corsair fans kit 3 kits (SP120 RGB PRO) each have one Lighting Node Core.

But the commander pro have only 6 slots for input fan, reading here i found post that user says

"Note there is a 1A limitation per fan header and a 4.5A limitation for the entire unit."

My question is, is possible use 2x Lighting Node Core + Commander Pro + PWM y splitters whitout damage the commander pro?

 

Bellow put diagram show how i think to do it, but i don't know if is the best way to do, or if this will be damage my commander pro.

The lighting is completely separate from the PWM control and the Lighting Node Core has it's own power source. The USB passthrough is just a that and it is not connecting with the Commander in a chain of power sense.

 

Officially, 6 fans is the limit by many people do use splitters. As long as you stick to two way splitters and not triple or quad chains, it should be OK.

Yes it will work with a 2 fan splitter. When buying the splitter it will show one with 3 pins, and one with 4, No biggy because both of your fans on the splitter will run at the same RPM. c-attack helped me with this on my first attempt with 10 fans!
