Additional / replacement fan setup for 4000x

[JonniKip]

Hey

 

I'm a noob to PC's and just recently got a pre-built one.

 

I think I have the standard black fans with the 4000x case, however, with the white case I want white fans at the front, as a minimum.

 

I have been impulsive and bought 3 QL120 RGB's (lighting node core included) to fill the remaining slots as I wanted at least an exhaust fan. I picked them on the LED count, etc and never thought of them being able to mix with the fans already in the case.

 

Just wondering if anyone with a bit of knowledge could help me on the way forward.

- Should I send the QL120's back and get 3 x SP120's so they can all go in the same lighting node (if possible).

- Is it better to have the QL120's and plan to get another 3 to replace the ones that came with the case.

- Or could both sets of fans that I have be used on separate lighting nodes but through the commander pro? I would look to swap the positioning of the black fans then.

 

Many Thanks

Just been looking into different set ups / install diagrams.

 

I think the last option looks possible if the different fan types are connected to separate lighting nodes and all hooked up to MB/sata. Only issue may be the number of 4 pin connectors on the MB, I guess.

 

Or have the two lighting nodes plugged into the RGB section on the commander pro with the fan control cables then plugged into the Fans section. I would look to do it this way, if possible.

 

If anyone could give me a green light on that it would be great.

 

Thanks

You can have the QL RGB fans on one Lighting Node Core and the SP RGB fans on another, or if you have a Commander Pro you can use them together with a RGB-HUB:
