Thanks for the help with identifying the fans in the software! Seems to have made the unit recognize them again, and now they're working as expected. Seems a little misleading to have them named so similarly. As for the powered USB hub, would something like the NZXT AC-IUSBH-M3 work? It seems to be the only product I can find related to what you're describing. If that's the case, is there a cheaper way? I've already spent money to try and fix this problem, shelling out another $30 just to control my pump lighting would be pretty unfortunate. You've been super helpful, thank you!

I've recently gotten my hands on some new iCUE SP fans, 2x140 mm and 4x120 mm. I installed them all in my case, and hooked them up to the lighting node core that came with the 140mm ones. My motherboard, a ROG B450-F Gaming II has just one USB output (that, according to the website, supports at least 2 usb outputs). So I got a USB splitter, and attached the core to one output and my H100I Pro XT water pump to the other. For a while both of them worked just fine this way. Recently though, the lighting node core stopped showing up in iCue. Some googling led me to try plugging it into the motherboard directly, and it showed up again. This meant for a while I had to choose my fan lighting over my pump lighting. Unfortunate. Now though, when the lighting node core shows up it won't even light up my fans. All 6 of them show up in iCue, and even display as if they were working on the software. They simply do not light up in person, even when connected direct to the motherboard. Is there a reason it stopped working, and how would I go about fixing it? Or do I just have a busted Lighting Node? Ideally I would like to control both of my iCue products without spending anymore money. My entire system and setup is composed of Corsair products, so as you can imagine this is a big bummer for me. Images: 1.) pump and lighting node plugged into the usb splitter, icue doesn't recognize the node at all anymore (one fan lights up the wrong color for some reason?) 2.) pump unplugged to utilize the lighting node, shown in icue 3.) fans display colors according to their mural placement, should be working just fine 4.) Here is my pc before I bought a usb splitter, I can assure you both the fans and the pump worked at one point. Unfortunately I don't have any photos from when that was. I'd really love to go back to the cool, but ever-so-temporary look! (yes I got the icue nexus. I think it's kinda neat)
