  1. Who here remembers the TRS-80, and its wonderful TRS-DOS operating system? The days of loading the operating system from cassette tape, and then whatever program you wanted to run, which had to fit into the 8KB of memory? Hanging out at Radio Shack was the thing to do until you got your own computer, and store managers loved to put us out in front of the store as "advertising". The only possible upgrades (consumer) were the floppy disk drive, adding memory, and one of the best ones: MS-DOS 1.0, with its expanded command set and improvements to programming. Programming in BASIC was the bomb! Once a friend got a copy, we all got one. Any upgrades were exceedingly expensive and hard to get, akin to GPU's last year. The brave souls were willing to get a soldering gun and add or replace individual ICs on the motherboard, putting in IC sockets, fun stuff. I was 15-16 back then. Never lost the build it-upgrade it-build it better fever, waiting for the next PC magazine to be delivered. It was like an addiction, still is.
  2. It may be that you need a Commander Pro. On my build, I have a H150i cooler and its 3 radiator fans connected to the Commander Core that came with it, and the other three PWM/RGB ports on the Core connected to 3 of my case fans. The USB cable from the Core is connected to one of the USB ports on the Pro. My other 4 case fans have the PWM cable attached to the Pro, and the RGB cables attached to a Lighting Node that comes with the 3-pack of fans. The USB cable from the Node is connected to the other USB port on the Pro. The Pro's USB cable is connected to the motherboard. All show up with all the individual LEDs and fan speeds on iCue. So, I have the capability of 12 fans although I have 10 total. This is in a 5000x case where I removed the LED/Fan controller boards that came with it. Hope that helps.
