[Zotty's CORSAIR RGB Hardware and iCUE Eco-System FAQ]

Hi man,

I have the LianLi case (superb) and I am currently running 9 LL fans along with a H150i Pro (not the XT version, but does not change anything). So it's 12 fans in total.

 

 

To run this configuration I picked up 1 CoPro, 2 3-fan packs, 3 spare fans and 3 Noctua NA-SYC1. The Noctua are double splitters for fan's RPM cable and will allow you to connect 9 fans to the CoPro for RPM management.

Remember that Corsair states the maximum number of fans for the CoPro is 9, with 10 you could experience problems... so I decided not to install the rear one.

In every 3-fan packs you'll find a Lightning Node Pro and a RBG Hub; the first is useless as the CoPro works better, the second is what you need for RGB control. And as it supports 6 fans, you'll need 2.

 

The space in the 'hidden' part of the case is not so much, but with a good cable routing you can do it:

 

 

This is a partial photo, it lacks the PSU cables and the USB internal Hub, it's just to give you an idea of the whole thing.

If you have questions... I'm here! :D:

Oh that looks dope!

 

but is the splitter needed? cause if i do like you, mount my h150i with the noe rgb fans to the back, and add 3 rgb on the otherside couldn't i just connect the 3 fans on the rad to pwr on the motherboard? since their main job would just to cool the rad, which would be cooled from two sides? or am i wrong ?

okay i just found a diagram of 500D SE

from this i can see that i will need 1 Commander pro. and all should be good.

[Zotty's CORSAIR RGB Hardware and iCUE Eco-System FAQ]

The Lighting Node Core that comes with the 3-packs of QL fans is a single lighting channel and fan hub in one.

The 500D SE will come with a Commander Pro, and RGB Fan LED Hub and 3 LL fans. You can use the same hub with 6 QL Fans on the Commander Pro.

If you need more QLs, you can connect the LNC to the CoPro's USB ports or purchase (separately) another RGB Fan LED Hub and put it on the CoPro as well for a total of 12 QL fans controlled by the CoPro. A Fan Hub splitter cable will actually let you put both Fan Hubs on a single RGB Channel.

What the CoPro does that the Lighting Node Core doesn't do is control the fan speeds. It also has temp sensors that are perfect for a control source for your fan curves.

 

Okay lets say i obt out and decide to buy the lian li XL

I want 3 fans in the side, 3 on top with a rad (ill replace the ones on 150i) and 3 in the bottom

What do i need to buy exactly, i mean i'll buy 3 x 3 QL packs, since they are cheaper to buy bulk in my country, but what else do i need to make it all work in harmony and with or without speeds and temps etc.

Hey Zotty, and everyone else! hope someone can help me

 

I'm mids in upgrading my cabinet, either i'll get the 500D SE and replace the LL with QL, and all another QL in the back, and a Hydro 115i rgb on the top (replacing the SP with QL)

 

Or i buy Lian li O11 Dynamic XL, now here is my question if i prompt to buy the Lian Li,

I'd be getting iCUE H150i RGB PRO XT and replacing the fans with QL x 3

i'd buy 4 more QL, 3 for the "front" area and 1 for the back, now here is where it gets confusing for me, on the 500D case there is a "pro commander" hub, but with the 3 packs of QL i can a small hub, will this small hub be enough for me in the Lian li case, or do i need to buy something separately too? i get the hub that's included fits 6 fans, but i would in this case have 7, i might even go for 10 and add 3 in the bottom, so i just need to know exactly what i should buy for all the rgb fans to work correctly with the software

 

Thanks in advance.
