Sometimes bugs are found but you don't realize that they are bugs, they are dismissed as something else, or no one realizes the impact. I've been doing software dev for going on 30 years now; it happens. It's not a perfect world and if that's what you are expecting, you are in for a whole lifetime of disappointments.

The XC7 has to be the terminating device in the chain. The XD5 and XG7 can be in any order you like (or makes sense). Yes. Just configure the channel as an External RGB Strip. Nope. I would suggest a powered USB hub, like the NZXT one. You may have issues with the CoPro hub.

The table is the guide. He missed the HX Platinum in his video. The HX Gold and HXi use Type 3, the HX Platinum uses Type 4.

One of the 'boards' is a PWM hub (that's the top one). The other one is a naked Lighting Node Core (the second image). How much benefit do you get by removing them? Probably not much. You'll want to run at least your 3 intake fans at the same speed ... and probably the 3 fans in the side at the same speed (I'm assuming that you have them installed). So ... put those six fans on the PWM hub and control them together. It's simpler that way (the "KISS" principle). Individual control over every single fan speed isn't usually needed and often isn't even really desirable. And while some folks can work for hours to tune each individual fan with individual fan curves, most don't. It does, however, add some amount of overhead to iCUE as well as give you more stuff to manage.

See @Zotty's setup. In his diagram, he's running 2 Fan Hubs from each channel using Hub Splitters. But folks have run up to 6 from a single port. Four is not uncommon in 1000D builds tho.

All righty! That's super-helpful. The device that six fans are connected to is a PWM hub. It will appear in iCUE as a single fan and the RPM will come from one of the fans (the port will usually have some kind of marking). But that's why you don't see them in performance - you'll only see one and it looks like that hub is connected to port #1. There's nothing wrong with using a PWM hub - lots of us do and they are very useful. It's not uncommon for there to be banks of multiple fans that should be controlled together and PWM hubs help with that (big time) and reduce management overhead. Typically, you'll want all of them to be the same type of fan but it's not absolutely required.

Yeah, that's all good. It's just that there's a limit to what we can tell you based on what you know. Right now, make sure that you look for the PWM connectors (not RGB). If you can trace them from the fans, even better. If you can then label them so you can tell them apart, that's bonus. And pictures always help to make sure that we're all talking about the same thing.

First, I think that's the Commander PRO, not the Commander Core XT. Different devices. Second, just because it supports generating the data signal for 264 LEDs doesn't mean that you can power all of them safely from the Commander Pro.

So who did the work? It's hard for us to help you if you can't answer the questions that we need answered in order to help you. Each of those fans has two completely separate connectors - one for RGB and one for the fan motor (PWM). They can go to completely different devices. So you need to find out where the PWM connectors for the missing fans are connected. Only then can we even begin to make any intelligent suggestions on your question. Perhaps call talk to the person that did the work - they should (one would hope) be able to tell you what is connected where.

Not necessarily. But if you do, pull the LNC and use the CoPro for the RGB for those fans as well. But there are ways that you can set everything up without needing the Commander Pro.

No, that's the RGB. It's completely different. Where are the PWM connectors for the fans connected? This just shows me the RGB connections, which isn't relevant to your question; the PWM connector is separate and can be connected to a completely different device. If they are spinning, they are connected to something. What is is that they are connected to? Do you have the Commander Pro installed and, if so, are the PWM fans connected to that? If the CoPro is installed, where is the USB connected?

And where are the PWM cables for the missing fans connected? Physically ... what connector did you plug them in to?

Just keep in mind that custom loops require more regular/routine maintenance, not less than an AIO.

No, you are not. But not every bug is found or resolved in beta testing, unfortunately. That's just not how things work.

So where are the PWM cables for those fans connected? What devices are listed in Home?

Well, there are some other differences to consider as well. With the Commander Pro, you can do a whole lot more fans by using RGB Hub Splitters. This is more difficult with the Commander Core XT. You also need to consider that your CoPro has a special firmware for your case - specifically for the front LEDs. There are folks that run ALL of the fans in the Commander Pro from a single channel in the CP this way. It makes control far simpler and, personally, I like the synchronized effects. And don't ever use anything called a USB "Splitter". USB cannot be split. You need a powered USB Hub.

Just posted ... a video guide to all the devices and what they are. Jump to: 1:53: SP Lighting Controller, HD Lighting Controller (Push Button Controllers), RGB Fan LED Hub 6:38: Lighting Node Pro, Commander Pro 20:04: Lighting Node Core 26:45: Commander Core, Commander Core XT

Pins 2 and 3 need to be connected from the LNP to the Fan Hub.

So you want to shove ALL of your fans in to the new case? Or are you only looking at using some of them? We need some more details about what you're trying to do. You have more fans that will feasibly go into the case (off the top of my head) ... so which ones do you plan to use? How many and which types? Or have you not thought that far ahead?

That it does. It's a great device, don't get me wrong. But the USB hub has been a problem.

Well ... first question ... which fans do you want to end up with? That 5000X comes with 3 fans ... you have a 5 LLs and 2 ML 120's from the Elite AIO. What do you want your end game to be?

The 5000T comes with a Commander Core XT, not a Commander Pro. Different device. The fans that show up in the "cooling" section are going to be the fans that are connected to the PWM Fan Headers on the Commander Core XT. If you have them connected via a splitter or a PWM Fan Hub, they will appear as a single fan. And you'll only be able to connect 6 RGB fans directly to the Commander Core XT ... the others would need to be on a fan hub and connected to the 3-pin port on the ComCoreXT. You'll need to configure that channel manually.

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.

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.

The Commander Pro can address that many LEDs per port but it most certainly cannot power that many LEDs from a single port. I'm fairly certain that even exceeds how much power you can pull from the SATA power connector.
