sklazinga Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 My mobo: MAG B550 TOMAHAWK Currently connected & fully functioning iCUE devices: iCUE H115i ELITE CAPELLIX Liquid CPU Cooler, & x7 iCUE SP120 RGB ELITE Performance 120mm PWM Fan, setup using one Commander CORE RGB & PWM Fan Controller & one iCUE Lighting Node CORE I would like to add an iCUE Lighting Node Pro to my setup. I cannot find the product I have on the Corsair website, so here is the amazon link I purchased from. The problem is that my motherboard has no more available USB 2.0 headers. Am I able to use a splitter on a motherboad USB 2.0 header to add an additional connection and still have full functionality of all the RGB, or would the two things connected to the single USB 2.0 header have to act together? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevBiker Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 USB cannot be split. You'll need a powered USB hub. Many of us 'round here use the NZXT one with much success but others can work too. Just as long as they are powered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope a Commander Core Pro will suffice, as that's what I have arriving tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevBiker Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 That's a Commander Pro and ... it may. But there have been issues with the USB hub (as it is, apparently, unpowered). So it may not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if it doesn't power the USB headers then at least it has 2 3-pin ports I can use for the RGB strips I want to install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That it does. It's a great device, don't get me wrong. But the USB hub has been a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
