Hello smart people.
Sorry If I'm posting this in the wrong spot. I'm new to the forums.
Alright, I got a large influx of disposable cash, and I am building the system of my dreams, and am going hard RGB.
The parts arrive this week, and I've read all the technical manuals and watched a bunch of Youtube videos and I think I know how to wire my system where I will only need to use 1x USB 2.0 header on my MOBO and 2x SATA power connections from my PSU.
I have included a flow chart showing how I believe I need to configure my RGB hardware to use as few resources from my MOBO and PSU.
Will you experienced, and knowledgeable people check it over and let me know if I've got this right, and if not what I'm missing and why?
Hardware
1x Commander PRO 1x LL140 RGB, 140mm LED PWM Fan (Dual Pack) w. Lighting Node PRO 4x LL140 RGB, 140mm LED PWM Fan (Single Pack) 1x Lighting Node PRO RGB Lighting Controller with 4x RGB LED Strips 1x RM1000i PSU 1x H115i PRO RGB, 280mm Radiator, Liquid CPU Cooler
So PSU, CPU Cooler, 4x LED strips, 6x LED Fans, controlled by a Commander PRO and Fan Hub (from the LL140 dual pack)
I should be able to disregard the 2x Lighting Node Pro's I will get from the LL140 Dual Pack and the LED strips, as the Commander Pro has enough power connections for my needs.
If I understand this correctly, this means that the USB 2.0 connectors from the H115i and the RM1000i will plug into the Commander,
the 4 LED strips will connect to one of the Commander PRO LED connections, and the Fan Hub will connect into the 2nd LED connection.
All 6 fans power connectors connect directly to the Commander PRO
And the 6 fan LED connectors plug into the Fan Hub.
The Commander Pro and Fan Hub connect to 2x SATA power connections from the RM1000i
And the Commander Pro connects to 1x USB 2.0 on my MOBO
Now I'm lucky and the MOBO I've ordered comes with 2x USB 2.0 headers. So if I have miscalculated I do have a backup USB 2.0 header, but I'd really love to hook my case (Obsidian Series 750D Airflow) front panel USB 2.0 to that 2nd header.
Not that using a USB 2.0 header on my case is urgent. The front panel also has 2x USB 3.1 connections, and I can't think of a time I will ever need to plug 4 USB devices into my front panel.
Thank you for any and all help with making my wiring as simple as possible. I'll post some videos once I am done.
