Ah, one lighting node it is then. Didn't know that we could split through software. My last build was 8 years ago, so my RGB knowledge is ~0. I see that my motherboard has 5 internal USB headers. I'll use 3 USB 3+ headers for front I/O, so that leaves 2 USB 2.0 headers free. Perfect for the Corsair modules :) Looks like the only thing I need is 3xPWM splitters. If I have some unforseen issues, I'll look into buying a powered PWM hub. Thanks for your assistance :)

Thank you for the detailed reply. Much appreciated :) Based on what you have explained here, my path forward will be: - Use the commander core for the ML fans, with 3 PWM splitters to control the speed of all fans. - Use both of the lighting node cores, each with 3 fans connected, so i get 3 controllable groups. For this I guess will need 3 USB connections. One for the commander core, two for the lighting node cores. Do both of the lightning node cores need individual connection to the motherboard? Do they have some kind of passthrough through either the modues or connection cables? Or do I need 3 usb slots from the motherboard? If so, could I use some kind of USB splitters?

Hi. I have bought a H150i Elite Capellix and two 3-packs of QL120's. This is a total of 9 fans. Do I have to buy a commander pro to replace the commander core I've already paid for to make this setup work? Or can I somehow use one/two of the lignting node cores to run the QL fans, while the commander core takes care of the cooler fans? I will connect this stuff to a MSI MAG x570 Tomahawk.
