Noted, thank you for the prompt response. While I would take advantage of the warranty I'm due for an upgrade. Only products from Corsair of course!

First, you don't need a new profile necessarily. You need some fan curves. Take a look at some of the tutorials or my iCUE Tips and Tricks - I have a video on doing just that.
Second, you don't have any of temp sensors for the Commander Pro connected. Those are actually the best control sources for your fan curves. These can also be quite helpful in diagnosing any cooling issues. For example, put one on the radiator intake, put another just over the pump head and put a third one somewhere else in the case (hard to say where as we've no idea what case you have).
Third - your coolant temperature is 38C. That's very high for idle (in most cases). If you want us to examine your cooling issues further, you're going to need to provide a LOT more information. For example -
1) What is your ambient/room temperature?
2) How are your fans configured (intake vs exhaust?)
3) How is your radiator configured (intake vs exhaust) and where is it installed?
4) Do you have the cooler properly powered (look in the AIO FAQ linked in by signature for details on this)?
5) What are your vCore readings (or vCPU in the iCUE Dashboard)?
6) What case is this in?
So ... if you want some help with your heat problem, we need to have that information (as a start) to being to look at it.
Case: Corsair Graphite Series 780T
1) Ambient temp 70 degrees
2) 2 front fans intake, rear is exhaust
3) Radiator is configured as an exhaust located on the top of the case EDITED: from intake
4) yes
5) see image below

If I could step in here with what appears to be an omission on your part Zimmy75. Looking at the first screenshot (your CoPro), you are using the built-in profile "Extreme". This and the other two built-in profiles ("Quiet" & "Balanced") will have a sensor source pointing at the CPU package which isn't ideal.
If you want to do things following convention (a.k.a. like the H100i V2 would if you had used the pump's fan headers to control your radiator fans) for your Commander Pro, you should make new profiles (on the CoPro) and point the "Sensor source" to "H100i V2 Temp" - the liquid temperature for your CLC. This should be available from the Commander Pro's ""Sensor source"" drop-down list for a custom fan curve as it should be telegraphed to the CoPro via USB. Side Note: This connectivity will only be available once the device drivers are loaded by Windows so you might end up loud fans until the said device drivers load.
Here's some examples I made for you using the LL120 Fans (600-1500 RPM range); hence the need for a few extra 600rpm entries due to this being the minimum value on the RPM range. These should approximate what you would have with the default profiles for your CLC:
No code has to be inserted here.
Good luck!
So you think if I just make a new profile it might fix my heating issues?
I am attempting to make a new profile and I don't see anywhere to select a sensor source.

Update:
Okay, so I'm an idiot. The fans actually do adjust speeds when I change between quiet, balanced and extreme. I just tried it and watched the numbers, they move. I guess I was just confused because I was expecting all of the numbers to match and be the same RPM wise as well as be more noticeable in sound. Fans 1/2 are on the front running around 1400 RPM on extreme. Fan 3 is in the back running at 1350. Fans 4 and 5 are on top running at just shy of 1700. Is that all the faster the LL series fans run? (just answered my own question 600 - 1500 +/- 10% RPM.) Guess I need to invest in better fans. I may just replace my cooler as well since it's 3 1/2 years old. Thanks for the help.

Can you post a screen shot of the Performance Tab with the fans curves for the Commander Pro? It is unusual for you to have fan power to all, but not control. Each is a separate individual fan header and while complete power loss to the entire unit is possible, 5 coinciding individual PWM control failures seems extraordinary. Incidentally, the 1-5 sequential order thing does not apply to Commander Pro fan control. It most definitely applies to the RGB Lighting Hubs that go along with it. Those must start at 1 and not skip slots.
We need to solve the above issue, however I can't think of any advantage in your situation for using the Commander Pro to power the new LL on the radiator vs the cooler's own fan controller. Both are full controllable through iCUE. When on the Commander Pro you'll need to jump through some hoops to make it do the right thing from a control perspective. The H100i coolant temp for the Commander Pro is not a native value and will disappear if iCUE is not running. Meanwhile the cooler has the sensor internally and will always be able to use that and keep the fans at a steady speed and not do the blast off on boot and restart.
Here are the screen Shots.
EDIT: I attempted to connect the fans back to the radiator controller, however coming of off there is only 1 four-pin and one three-pin connector. I need 2 four-pins.
To further complicate things, from a cold start I get about 10 usable minutes out of the computer before the temps ramp up into the 60-70 degree Celcius rage and my computer starts to bog down from even just surfing the web and having Spotify running. I have tried to re-apply thermal paste twice thinking that was the issue and it has not fixed it. Has my pump died even though it's reading that it is pumping at 3000 RPM?

Thank you for the response. I have to grab a screenshot when I get home after work.
If I remember correctly when I first installed the unit, I tried to attach the fans to the controller on the H100i and they wouldn't work. The only way I could get them to work was through the Commander Pro. I will also attempt to revert back to that and try again later tonight as well.

Hello All,
I am seeking some help trying to solve an issue that I've had for quite some time.
I have the H100i V2 cooler, the Commander Pro, the RGB hub, 4 of the RGB strips and 5 of the LL 120 MM fans.
Prior to getting 2 LL fans to replace the stock fans that came with the dual radiator, I was able to control the pump and fans as well as the case fans with the commander pro with no issues. When I swapped the fans on the rad over to the LL series and connected them to Commander Pro I have not been able to control any of my fans.
The 5 fans are plugged into Commander Pro, ports 1-5 in order, no open spaces between. Also connected is a USB slot connected to the RGB controller as well as 1 LED strip connection. The connection from the Commander Pro to the motherboard is on a USB hub, also connected to power via SATA. The connection from the H100i V2 goes to my other remaining USB header on the motherboard, CPU fan goes to the corresponding pin in the motherboard,
The fans, as well as the LED's work and, are spinning. I am able to adjust the LED's on each fan. It doesn't seem to matter which profile I select be it quiet, balanced, extreme or custom I am not able to get the fans to change speed.
I have tried various ways to correct this based off of the previous feed-back on these forums and nothing seems to work.
If anyone has any insight on where I should go next it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance and sorry for the wall of text.
No Fan Control With Commander Pro

I went with the 115i Pro, it's ordered now I just have to wait for it to get here. I'll purchase two more RGB fans at a later date. Thank you everyone again for all of the tips and pointers, it is much appreciated. I will keep them all in mind when I install the new hardware.
Happy New Year!
