DelTacoBoi Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Brand new build. Issue where the USB devices keep disconnecting for 4-5 seconds every 5 min or so making it unusable! Also in iCUE 4 the Commander Pro fan hub, keyboard, mouse, AIO, RAM, lighting strips are all detected but the lighting node core which controls the RGB for the fans is NOT detected. Used 2 separate lighting node core's issue persists. Its plugged into known good USB and SATA power, nothing.

c-attack Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 It seems like you have three USB 2 connections to manage. Since most motherboards don't have more than 2, you likely need some assistance. If you have connected the Lighting Node Core into the Commander Pro's passthrough port, that is likely the issue. Recent AMD boards are a bit light on USB power so piggybacking multiple devices on the same line doesn't work out well on X570, B550, etc. Most users need a powered USB hub to provide the necessary number of connections with adequate power. See the thread below. https://forum.corsair.com/forums/topic/168270-usb-connectivity-issues-related-to-amd-500-series-chipsets-megathread/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelTacoBoi Posted August 4, 2021 Author Share Posted August 4, 2021 According to Corsair solution, we are to go into bios and change all PCIe lanes to gen 3, I did this, cleared cmos first, made sure I'm on latest chipset driver, Latest bios, issue still persisting. So in order to run 9 total fans, with RGB, I will need 4 total hubs???? This is insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-attack Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 No, you likely need 1 powered USB 2 hub. These typically have 3-5 USB ports and a SATA connection to augment the power from the MB. 1 of your devices can go to the MB and the remaining go to the usb hub.

DevBiker Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I'm with @c-attack here - get the powered USB hub. That really resolves a lot of issues with the USB connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelTacoBoi Posted August 4, 2021 Author Share Posted August 4, 2021 Thanks for your reply. So as of right now my Commander Pro is plugged into the USB header on the mobo, from there the lighting node core is plugged into the commander pro USB hub (LNC is not detected within icue at this time), and the USB hub that the h1501 is plugged into the 2nd USB header of the mobo, so far this is 3 total controllers. What I am gathering here is that I'm to buy a 4th total connection, preferably a 1male-2female connection, which will plug into the USB header on the mobo, then the commander pro and LNC into the 2 female ports, in turn 4 total connector/hubs.. Is this correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, not a 2 way splitter. That is what the Commander Pro is already providing and the result is the Lighting Node Core on back end isn't detected. You need a powered USB Hub, like the one linked here. The problem is the board does provide enough power for devices to share a USB port. These types of hubs get that powered from a separate SATA connection to the PSU. There are other models that will work for this as well. This is not a new issue and AMD MB owners have been dealing with this for the last two years plus. Some devices are more affected than others. The Commander Pro pass through ports almost never work on those chipsets. Edited August 4, 2021 by c-attack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelTacoBoi Posted August 5, 2021 Author Share Posted August 5, 2021 Both the lighting node core, and commander pro, are connected to separate SATA power? If I do get this NZXT hub, do I have to download this NZXT CAM software as well? I'm not a fan of running more than one controller software, hence why every possible part of the build is corsair, so it all runs through a single controller software.

No, not at all. there's no need for CAM and CAM doesn't even see the hub. If CAM was required, I don't think that many of us here on this forum would use that hub.

DelTacoBoi Posted August 5, 2021 Author Share Posted August 5, 2021 Thank you. I purchased the hub, should be here today. So to be sure, I connect this NZXT hub into my MOBO directly, then I plug both the commander pro, and the lighting node core into the NZXT hub in two separate ports, and then NZXT hub, commander pro, and lighting node core all into individual SATA power. This should then be enough to power both commander pro and LNC detecting them in ICUE as well as possibly fix the issues where my keyboard, mouse, and audio devices keep resetting?

brucebentley Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 (edited) I've had the NZXT Internal USB hub since day 1, and everything worked flawlessly until about 2 weeks ago. iCUE stopped recognizing my Node Core's altogether, and no longer responded to anything related to the Motherboard to ARGB. I've gone through the whole "uninstall ArmouryCrate, AURA, iCUE, plugins, BIOS, etc." process multiple times now, and it'll work periodically for a day or two & go right back not recognizing devices.

I also have the nzxt internal hub. It's mostly the only good one out there. it fixed an issue with my simple lighting node core not being detected in icue (V 3/4). the hub allowed me to free up a motherboard usb slot because the hub works ONLY connected directly into the motherboard. The controller NEVER worked connected to a splitter or the powered hub. I just wonder how could I add more nodes if they all need a direct motherboard connection? anyway my hub is about one and a half year old and sometimes it randomly disappears from icue despite the direct connection. I have to unplug it and re connect it to have it working for a random amount of time... I hope it's not going to stop working... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
