jbarker4682 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 So reading Zotty's guide as well as the Commander Pro manual, it sounds like I can use the LED ports 1-2 for connecting LED strips directly or via the Lighting Node Pro, or connect fans via the LED Hub... However, I can't find any mention of where to connect the Pump / CPU block LED cables... If I use port #1 on the Commander Pro for my LED Fan Hub, can I daisy-chain my CPU block to the Pump, and then connect the Pump to port #2, or do I have to get a second LED Hub or Lighting Node Pro to act as an intermediary?

c-attack Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 AIO coolers do not require a separate lighting channel. All their on board lighting is handled through the SATA power connector for the unit and then lighting control through the device's own tab in iCUE. A USB 2 connection is required for software control. Hydro X custom cooling is a different story. Those parts do require a lighting channel, but then also can daisy chain through each other to keep it to 1 channel. This is also somewhat useful in sequencing the central lighting effects (Pump/Res -> CPU block -> GPU or vice versa). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbarker4682 Posted October 23, 2019 Author Share Posted October 23, 2019 Ok, so it sounds like this should work then... thanks... I'll run the XC7 (CPU) -> XD5 (Pump) -> Commander Pro LED port #2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll run the XC7 (CPU) -> XD5 (Pump) -> Commander Pro LED port #2 Yes, that's exactly how it'll work. The CPU block must be at the end of the chain.
