I wanted to correct myself since I was enlightened by one of c-attack's posts. You can plug the fans into the commander pro but the explanation below gives reason to plug them into the cooler. As mentioned above, you really don't need to power those fans from the Commander Pro instead of the cooler unless they are 3 pin DC motors. There is no inherent advantage. There is one disadvantage. When using the cooler's internal fan controller, it will keep the fans going at your preferred settings with or without the software. That includes the boot cycle. If you run them from the C-Pro and set the control variable to coolant temp, the C-Pro will lose contact with that data any time the software is not running. You will get a max fan blast at boot.

Hah, I guess I typed the right combination of key words and found an explanation you gave in another post. "As mentioned above, you really don't need to power those fans from the Commander Pro instead of the cooler unless they are 3 pin DC motors. There is no inherent advantage. There is one disadvantage.

I will now be reconnecting those fans to the H100i. Do those fans go onto the 4 pin splitter with the 1 labeled on it? If so, now I guess my question is what are the other halves of the splitters used for?

Sorry, it's the H100i Platinum 240mm I was getting a little delirious. I have the USB coming off the pump connected to a USB slot on the Commander Pro and the Sata is ready to be plugged in. My question is for the 2 sets of wires in the pic below which I'm assuming one is the splitter for the fans you were talking about. Can you link or explain the advantage of connecting it to the splitter vs. commander pro? Sorry, it's my first time building a pc in about 15 years and I haven't used an AIO before. Thanks for the help!

Looks like we're up to the same thing today! I took a look at those connectors since I didn't use them (routed fans to commander pro like you plan on doing) and one set has two 4 pin and the other has a 3 and 4 pin connector. As for the radiator fan RGB, it will route to your RGB Fan LED Hub included in the 570x case. You can then connect the USB header to the commander pro. Hope this helps!

I was working on my build and have routed my radiator fans into the commander pro for fan control and the RGB is routed into the RGB control. My question is do I have any need for the 4 wires that come off of the CPU cover now? I know one set is for fans and I don't need those but is the other set for the RGB on the CPU cover? Thanks in advance!
