Also, with the Commander Core, you CAN mix fans on it.

I have 2x XR5 420s with a total of 16 QL fans and 1 SP. It works and fits. Just fine.

True ... but that doesn't mean that you can disregard it completely. It's actually pretty easy, these days, to overload a 5V rail.

You should be just fine. There is a little bit of space for you to be able to handle a slightly larger 420mm rad in the top. Check out my build log and FAQ. LOTS of detail and measurements.

I'm gonna guess that the "Commander Node" that you speak of is a Commander Pro (there is no "Commander Node"). No, the Commander Pro does not have hysteresis. Nor do most of the AIOs when taken separately. As others have indicated, the CPU temperature isn't the most appropriate temperature to use for liquid cooling of any sort. Changing that will resolve the issue. In other notes, however, the Commander Core and Commander Core XT do have hysteresis.

Can you tell us exactly which H100 you have? There are quite a few of them, all with the "RGB" moniker. A picture of the pump head would work as well. And most of the AIO's have a warranty of 5 years, IIRC.

I'd also put one between the radiator fans and the radiator. This will give you the temp of the airflow through the radiator, which is what cools it. It'll also tell you if you have too much waste GPU heat going through the radiator.

Yes, especially for the coolant. It depends on your ambient temperature. But it'd have to be pretty darn chilly for that.

What is the fan curve for the fans on the second Commander Core set to? And is it a Commander Core or a Commander Core XT? Either way - you'll want to set the fan curve to use one of the temp sensors on the Commander Core. It's needs to be a temp sensor on the same device so connect one of the thermal probes. As long as the temp source for the curve is native to the device, then you'll have fan control even when iCUE isn't running.

Question: Is your AIO configured for intake or exhaust? At the very least, you'll want one in the front intake airflow (right before the intake fans) and one in the exhaust airflow. IF the AIO is configured as exhaust, you'll want one in the intake flow of the radiator. If it's configured as intake, you might want one in the exhaust flow (but it'll be close to the liquid temp in most cases). As for the final one - you'll want it somewhere near your GPU. You may need to play with the exact location but that'll give you an idea of the heat that the GPU is actually dumping into the case.

It sounds like the cooler is DOA. Where did you get it 'open box'?

that's just software, You'd still need iCUE and the Corsair controllers, IIRC, to use SignalRGB.

And what port is the mouse connected to? Is it on the rear I/O? If so, is it a USB 2 or USB 3 port? Also, does it happen if you turn the lighting for the fans off?

If you'd like, we can continue to troubleshoot. The Fan Hub is a super-simple, super-dumb device. Seriously. It has a capacitor, some traces and connectors. That's it. There isn't anything more to the device. If there is a burning plastic smell coming from one of the fans ... do you know which one? This is usually indicative of a short circuit but we'd have seen different issues before now so I doubt that's it. If re-arranging the fans made the problem worse ... that's interesting in itself. The fans operate in series - one fans sends data signal to the next fan and so on. The Fan Hub enables this - but it's nothing more than a relay. No smarts ... just moving electric pulses from one connector to the next. If there is 1 single bad fan, it can take out the entire chain. Usually this means that every fan after the bad fan is flaky (which is why I suggested swapping Fan 1 and Fan 6). So ... it's likely that you have 1 bad fan and we just need to isolate it. To properly test the fans, you need to validate 2 things: 1) that the fan itself works and 2) that it sends signal to the next fan. To do this, put 1 fan on port 1. If it fully lights up and is controllable, put it on port 2. Put another fan on port 1. If it lights up AND the fan on port 2 lights up and both are controllable, then the fan on port 1 is GOOD. Keep doing this until you have a known GOOD to put in port 2 and then test your first fan for connectivity.

With adapters, you could control the fans. There's a couple of ways to do it; the easiest is with the now-discontinued RGB Fan LED Hub. Otherwise, you'd need a ARGB hub with adapters for each fan. If you have other RGB components, you'd probably want that hub anyway tho. Note that it goes without saying that Corsair doesn't officially support doing this. As for the cooler ... that will have to be iCUE. You won't be able to control the cooler or its lighting except via USB and iCUE.

You'll need an adapter, yes. You'll need to have one RGB port free. That could come from any of the controllers that you mentioned so what do you have? At least a Lighting Node Core from all of the extra ML's right? You could use that and add it one one of the ports. You'll need to configure it manually in iCUE as a QL fan, which may make some effects weird or cool, depending on your perspective. Set the Strimer controller to "motherboard control" mode and you should be set.

1) Yes, that's the RGB Fan LED Hub. Make sure that it's connected to Lighting Channel 1 on the LNP as well. 2) It looks like you have it set up correctly (assuming that it's connected to Channel 1). What effects do you have set? Have you tried swapping Fan #1 with Fan #6 on the hub?

How many devices, total, do you have connected to USB besides the keyboard and mouse? Not just external but internal USB also. Also, how much RGB would you happen to be running?

The garbage readings from motherboard sensors is a well-known and well-documented issue. You can be angry at iCUE for that all you want but it's more to do with the way that these values are published and presented to the system. This can be exacerbated, specifically, by running multiple monitoring tools. I know that this might come as a surprise but there isn't a standard for how this is done by the various manufacturers nor is there a common API. As for the fans - iCUE won't detect fans on the RGB Fan LED Hub. You need to set the channel up for them in the Lighting Configuration. The RGB Fan LED Hub, however, doesn't do anything except provide power and signal. Unless, that is, you are talking about a Lighting Node Core, which is sometimes (unhelpfully) labelled as an RGB Hub. If you can show us your iCUE configuration screens, perhaps we can provide a bit more detailed guidance.

You might want to take a look at my 7000 FAQ (see my sig).

did you configure the channel for the right number of triangles? And are both connected to SATA power?

Did you happen to change the power cables around? Are you using cables that came with your PSU? That looks like a possible short circuit, which can happen if you use mix PSU cables.

1) You don't need to connect the secondary RGB. Definitely connect power. You can blow the fuse in the LNP if there is more than 1 set connected. 2) Yes, with an adapter. How well that would work for you (possibly) depends on the exact configuration. If it's an LNC or Commander Core, then you'll only be able to configure them as fans and may not even be able to get them fully lit up. If it's an RGB LED Fan Hub connected to a Lighting Node Pro or Commander Pro, it'd work and you could configure them as strips. But I'm not sure why you'd want to do this; there's doesn't seem to be much advantage to it.

At least some of the reported issues have been resolved by firmly connecting the pump. The connector that they use for this is easy to have a little off or have a pin pushed back. But there's really only so much that you can do when you have that many pins in such a small space.
