  1. For some reason it’s not letting me edit the original post, so I’ll just add that I found a picture of it working after installing the sensor panel. So all I’ve done since then is move an LL120 from the back to the bottom and swap the GPU power cables. Plus whatever software updates have come out since then. Nothing associated with the led strips.
  2. I recently noticed that half of my LED strips are no longer lit. The only thing I have changed is adding a sensor panel to my PC, but that just uses one of the RGB headers and not linked to any of the Corsair accessories. I'm not sure if the strips had stopped lighting before or after installing the panel anyway. I've attached a diagram of how my Corsair products are laid out, as well as two images for proof that they used to work and now don't. The strips are laid out in a daisy chain of 250 > 450 > 250, and labelled on the Commander Pro as 6 Led Strips. I have connected them individually to make sure the LED's themselves haven't just died and they all work fine. Another problem I have is that for some reason my 2 LL120's only light up white, not with the colour set in iCUE. Although the LL120's aren't actually visible in iCUE. Any ideas on what may have caused this problem, and what the solution is? Even if it means purchasing a different controller/hub?
  3. TLDR; Three QL120's connected to Lighting Node CORE then to Commander Pro, not showing up in iCUE PRODUCTS -Corsair Carbide Spec-06 White Case -iCUE LS100 Starter Kit -H100i AIO Cooler -QL120 RGB Fan Kit (Contains Lighting Node) -Commander Pro -RGB Hub SETUP Firstly I have fitted the LS100 kit inside my case, with two of the 250mm strips internally and one of the 450mm strips replacing the LED's that came in the front of the case as they were not iCUE compatible. These are daisy chained and connected to LED Port 2 in the Commander Pro. I took the two LL120 fans from the H100i and mounted them inside my case. These both go to the RGB Hub which is then connected to LED port 2 of the Commander Pro. For my H100i I have mounted 2 QL120 fans to it (Because the LL120's face the wrong way so the lights would be pointing at the radiator and the front of my case is covered). The third QL120 is below the radiator. All three of these fans go to the included Lightning Node CORE, which is connected to the Commander Pro via USB port 1. All accessories are lit using a Lighting Link mode. PROBLEM The QL120's cannot be found in the iCUE software. When connected to the Lighting Node they simply light up white. There is no option for selecting the Lightning Node in the software, even through the Commander Pro. If I connect one to the RGB Hub and tell it I have 3 fans then the connected QL will display the test LED, but because the RGB Hub is set up for the LL120's, I cannot connect all the QL's through the Hub as they have more LED's and they will not light up correctly. EXTRA While extremely unlikely to be related, I recently replaced my PSU and Motherboard. I'm 75% certain that the RGB in the QL120's were editable through iCUE before this. I did not unplug anything relating to them except the fan control to the AIO pump, which is now connected again.
  4. Hey so I’ve done this. I have 2 LL120’s and 3 QL120’s, plus 3 LS100 Strips inside my case. I originally bought the QL120’s for my H100i. Unfortunately for whatever reason, the software does not recognise QL fans when they’re plugged in through the pump harness. Fortunately they came with an RGB hub (node core). I simply plugged all 3 fans into this RGB hub. The benefit of this hub is it plugged into the USB port on my commander pro, instead of the RGB port. This meant that I could daisy chain my LS100 strips through the RGB port on the commander pro. My LL120’s are still plugged into a seperate fan hub I purchased originally that plugs into the first RGB port of my Commander. The only problem I’ve noticed is that for whatever reason, the QL’s provide a slightly paler/whiter light to all of the other products. My guess is a slightly different plastic used to diffuse for the light. Poor thinking in my opinion. Just like making the LED strip in the Spec-06 not iCue compatible, I had to replace it with a 450mm LS100 strip.
