Hi
I wanted to set up my PC like this.
and interlock every LEDs.
0. motherboard is Asus TUF B550+
1. 8ea FAN (2ea ML120 for topside
1ea QL120 for rearside
5ea LL120 for front 3/bottom 2)
2. H100i elite capellix AIO+LCD kit
3. 2 other LED devices
and they are connected using several Coursair LED controllers using internal USB port
- Command core: 6 LED fans
- Capellix LCD AIO itself
- lighting node core:2 LED fans
-node pro: 2 other LED devices
You know my board has 2 internal USB ports but I have to connect 4 devices to 2 ports
I puchased NZXT 4port usb expansion hub and set up like this
Node core was ok. But node pro was NG
I could see node pro in my system.
But there was no node pro in iCUE.
So I tested various cases. after disconnect node core.
Direct connection to usb port was only way to recognization for node pro in iCUE.
Connection via NZXT Bypass was not effective.
Now I gave up node core connection like this.
6 fans and AIO LCD LEDs are blue
Only 2 node core fans in bottom are red(not inter locked) ->they are not controlled by iCUE. just operated by iCUE hardware lighting.
In results
1. AIO and command core can use usb expander.
2. node pro or node core cannot use usb expander. only need to connect directly.
Then what is my next step?
NZXT usb expansion hub's data rate or bandwidth does not satisfy Coursair devices?
Should I change usb expansion hub?
(i.e. buy other vendor's hub)
Or is this Asus board's USB2.0 issue?
I already have changed BIOS PCIE3 lane setting after reading other topics in this forum. It didn't work.
I have LT100 , LS100 now and want to buy LC100.
But I know that LC100 use node pro and have to connect to internal USB2.0 connection. If I dont solve this problem, buying LC100 is silly thing.
In summary,
I want to connect over 4 Cousair LED devices to 2-internal USB ports. Somebody had same expirence and solve it?
Plz help me everyone.
