Ahh...I think I get it now. Thanks for the clear explanation. Kind of stinks that I would not be able to use iCue to control all my fans. Make me want to just get 3 PWM fans to replace those case fans, but I guess once I set their speed profile in the BIOS its set and forget. I guess I can try that first. Thanks again for all the info. On a side note, it would have been great if the iCue software screen where it shows you your fans, to show the fan type and give some explanation on why they are running at full speed. That would have saved a lot of headaches/confusion. Thanks again guys!

Ok, thanks, I think I get what you are saying, but still unsure on how I should configure my 5 fans (2 that came with the cooler, and 3 came on the case). Currently, they are all hooked up to the Commander Core, but we (you) are saying that those 3 case fans' power cables only (leave RGB on the Commander Core) need to go back onto the mother board - is that right? And if I do that, how do I control their speed of those 3 fans? Can I still do that in iCue, right along side with the other 2 fans? Thanks!

Thanks guys for the responses on this thread - I now understand why I just see the pump icon in iCue - so its good. Now for the other issue on connecting the fans correctly in order to control their speed in iCue, I am definitely still confused, and will jump over to that other thread. Thanks!

Thanks for the info, I am new to these RGB fans and those names were similar (Command Pro vs Command Core). So I have H100i Elite, so I have the Commander "Core". And I do have the 2 fans that came with the cooler and the 3 fans that came with the t220 case hooked up to the Commander Core (each fan's, power cable and LED cable). In iCue, I see the cooler and it does show all 5 fans (plus the pump), and I can control all of the colors/effects) of ALL fans (at least a quick check it seems like they are in sync). My biggest issue is that the 3 case corsair fans run at a constant ~1400 RPM and have no effect when I attempt to create custom profiles...they just hum at ~1400 all the time - very annoying. Another related thread mentioned something that I need to connect the power cable (only) of those case fans back to the mother board in order to control their speed, but not 100% sure?? If I did that, would I be controlling them from iCue?? Seems like I should have been able to control ALL of them since they are ALL connected to the Commander Core, and they are all corsair fans. I am learning, but I am a little stuck and dont like having those 3 fans hum all the time at ~1400. I want to configure them. Thanks for any info.

Yes. sorry, right, I have the H100i Elite Capellix. Thanks for the reply. My initial reaction to the info was, "what??" :-) Why wouldn't I be able to connect 5 fans (2 from cooler and 3 from the case) to this Commander Core thing...it has a plugs for the fan power, and a plug for the LED/RGB. Make logical sense to me out of the box. My thought process is, why not use a centralized "core" hub, to control all my fans, especially since they are all Corsair fans. Seems odd, that the Cammander Core sens a constant 12v to those fans? I am a but confused. You are saying, that I need to connect ONLY the power cables from those 3 case fans to the MB somewhere? And then, I would be able to control their speed (and LED) from iCue? Sorry, a bit confused. I am very technical, but have not done much with these RGB fans so some concepts are new, but so far does not seem super straight foward.

So I have a Corsair case and H100i, and I am using the Commander Pro thing that came with it. I connected the 2 fans, as well as the 3 case fans (also Corsair fans) to the Commander Pro. All fans are working, all lights are working. I can apparently use iCue to control these lights...I click on the H100i Elite CAPALIX device in iCue. BUT, I have see other people post pictures of their iCUE and they have an actual Commander Pro thumbnail image should up in their iCUE devices....I do not have this. I see other posts of people saying the same thing. I ask, because I am having all sorts of problems controling the fan speeds. I try to do it from the H100i Elite CAPALIX device in iCue, with custom curves, but that is not working. Maybe I should be seeing and using the Commander Pro device in iCue (which is not showing up????) Any help much appreciated! Here is a pic of what I see in iCUE https://imgur.com/XX4WY5S

I put a new system together, and have 2 fans that came with the H100i and three fans that came with my Corsair case. I connected All of the fans to the node core that came with my H100i. In the early stages of setting up my system, I noticed the 3 fans that came with the case ran a lost faster compared to the 2 that came with the H100i. I said, oh well, I know (or think I should be able to) control these fan speeds in iCue. Once I installed Windows and everything else, in iCue, sure enough, the 2 fans that came with the H100i were running around 350-400 RPMs and the 3 fans that came with the case were all humming at 1300-1450!! The all had "Balanced" profiles - which I would think would make them run approximately at the same speed...but apparently not. I did tons of research, watched some videos, searched this forum, and tried to create a custom Profile and curves, and even tried to just pick one of those case fans and set to a specific RPM, but I cannot seem to get these fans to behave. When the system is just sitting there idle, the 2 fans that came with H100i nicely run at 300-400, but the other case fans ALWAYS are at 1300-1450 and are rather noisy and annoying. Why can't I get finite control over these fans? I figured that since I have ALL fans (which are all Corsair fans) connected to the node core, that I could do all the tweaking I want...but I can't seem to get it to work. Very frustrating. Hany help/pointers? Greatly appreciated! Here is a quick screenshot of what I see. https://imgur.com/LTA4VFS
