Corsairs Obsidian 500D SE Setup Advice and Diagrams

Gpu is the ASUS rog strix 2080ti OC

ok.. well i assume that plugs into and Asus Motherboard buddy. not sure where you stand as far as controlling its RGB.. no doubt someone may jump in and no doubt there may be an adapter out there that can help... i'll ask for you..

Thanks again zotty. My biggest concern is the correct writing diagram, but I can’t figure out how to insert said picture into this forum. Sorry one of my first times actually interacting with a forum rather than just reading it. 9ql’s and 4 strips are what I’m looking to sync together through icue.

I'm fairly certain that the Aura header on that GPU is output only, not for input/control of the GPU's RGB function.

I appreciate it. That should make things slightly less complicated.

ok. for pictures,,,, make an imgur account.. upload images to there and you can link to them from there...

I didn’t realize there was a 13th page until just now. I kept refreshing page 12 and seeing nothing new lol. I’m quite sure I was able to find the right diagram for my needs. Thanks to your attention to detail in the diagrams. Also I just bought 2 ql120 triple kits to ensure I have enough lighting node pros. I’m going to be returning some fans as I bought singles before I knew exactly what I was doing. At This stage could you just provide me of a list of icue products requires to run 9qls? 3 of which will be controlled by aio. Side note I’m building in the 500d rgb se so I have the CoPro and and an rgb hub in there already.

I’m sorry one other thing is I also bought the lightning node pro with 4 strips to wire up as well.

 

This forum has been a lifesaver this far ❤️

this allows for Push/Pull on the h150i

 

Thanks so much for the help! My first build is going well so far thanks to the help I have gotten on here. I do have another question that pertains to that diagram. Where do I plug the USB 2.0 for my HX750i and my h150i pro xt? I have the commander pro plugged into one port on the mobo and then have the h150i pro xt usb plugged into. Then I plan to plug the USB from the HX750i into the commander pro as well. Should I do it this way? Will it work? Or should I plug at least one of them into the mobo? Which one if so?

that will work buddy :)

that will work buddy :)

 

Hi,

I finally got it all built. But in icue the hx750i and h150i rgb xt don't show up. I'm not sure what to do. Please help. I tried reinstalling icue and it didn't work. Is it something having to do with them being connected via the commander pro usb? Mobo is x570-pro if that helps

Thanks Zotty,

I want to buy this case, but I have a question.

Does this case comes with RGB Fan LED Hub? and if it does, is it the 2-ports led hub or the 6-ports?

Hi,

 

So after completing the build that I have been working on I had ran into an issue. My H150i RGB Pro XT is running fine but isnt showing up in iCUE when connected to the commander pro usb. My HX750i is also not showing in iCUE when connected to the commander pro usb. Both of them are working properly I just am unable to adjust them in iCUE as I am suppose to. The commander pro is working properly as well as I have 6 ll120 fans connected to it and am able to adjust the speed and rgb colors. I have updated everything that I can with iCUE and still neither of them show. If it helps I have an Asus Prime x570-pro mobo with only one usb connected to the mobo (the one being the commander pro). I thought that I could use the usb ports on the commander pro to plug in my H150i aio and my HX750i psu?

try the commander pro in another usb header buddy?

I’m so, so new at this, I’m not even sure if I’m replying in the right place. Sorry if I’m In wrong here! I have never built a PC before, everything seems to be going well but I am having problems with connecting the Corsair H115i Platinum. I have been looking everywhere on line for two days and I have no answers yet. Your last diagram of “using the H115i Platinum cooler“, shows the PSU connected to the Commander Pro by USB, am I looking at this wrong? I have four cables coming from the cooler that I don’t know where to connect them, do they attach directly to the fans on the Cooler or to the Commander Pro? I’m in need of detailed instruction so I can get this thing running, help!!

hi.. give this a watch

HI, I scanned through the posts but dont think I saw an answer to this.... What type of cord/connection is the LED control cable? The Corsair RGB LED Fan HUB HD/SP RGB I want to buy does not come with an attached one just the slot (not part of a fan set https://www.amazon.ca/Corsair-CO-8950020-RGB-Cfan-Compatible/dp/B075GWMJ68/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=corsair+lighting+node+hub&qid=1599323109&sr=8-5 ) So I need to connect it to the commander pro I already have.

 

Thanks in advance <3

hey buddy... should have got a pair of them with the Commander Pro accessories

I’ve owned this pc for a good half year now and for some reason my 3 RGB case fans have stopped working, They don’t show up in ICUE anymore, I checked the command pro wires and ports all over the pc even unplugged everything and put it all back in and they’re still not working...

hi buddy.. have you checked their Config in iCUE, in the Lighting Setup Tab for the Commander Pro?

I dont even have the commander pro showing up in ICUE to even look at settings for it

Ok. If the Commander Pro is not showing that thats why the fans are not showing..

 

do the fans spin?.

 

if not.. looks like the Commander Pro is dead. check its sata power. if all good.. contact support.

 

is the do spin.. check its usb connection. try another header.. if that seems to be ok but still no go in icue.. contact support...
