    Thank you so very much for explaining the options for powering multiple fans with their pwm connectors. Being a 41-year old noob and not knowing how to do this, I've watched a dozen Corsair icue 220t build videos (the case that I'm using), where they all quickly gloss over the detail as to how they wired in the power to their fans. Super frustrating! You're the only one that actually clearly demonstrates the connections. I owe you!

    FYI for anyone reading and wanting to know, if you currently have the commander pro, you can also hook the USB cable of the core straight into one of the two USB ports on the CoPro to not waste a motherboard USB header. The command pro also has two lighting channels , should you only have a need for two of these fans, without needing to use the core at all.

    • @colin8601
      @colin8601 4 роки тому +2

      @@lor7780 the commander pro has two lighting inputs on it. On top of 5 fan channels, and two USB ports. When you buy LED Corsair fans, you could definitely plug two of them into the copro. But the fans will also come with the lighting box, which you could plug that lighting box USB port into the copro usb pass through. Hope this makes sense

    I ordered a set of QL120 and a couple sets QL140 fans for my Cooler Master C700M case this past weekend. The 140s were going to replace the original LL120 fans to improve air intake. The 120s are replacing the LL120s on my Corsair H150i Capellix. After 4 years, the LEDs on my LL120 fans are due for replacement because of faulty LEDs. Some of the LEDs are dead and others will not light up the right color anymore. It's a shame that Corsair LEDs don't last through the lifetime of the product as my LL120 fans are still working. With all that said, I'm looking forward to installing these new fans and seeing how well they improve the look of my setup. I'm also glad to know that the newer QL series fans are compatible with the iCUE Commander Core XT.

  • @Gabri_Fender
    @Gabri_Fender 4 роки тому +3

    I am planning a setup with 5 QLs, 3x120mm and 2x140mm. Can I get away with just one lighting node core or do I need two?
    I heard that plugging fans to the RGB hub is model-specific (meaning that you can't plug for example QLs and HDs to the same RGB hub), so I am not sure if same model but different sizes can be handled.
    Cheers

    The pwm splitter I picked up at micro center is 3 pin into mobo header. I see the fans are 4 pin will this be an issue? Thank you

    My problem is I have a motherboard that only has 1 system fan port, however i have 4 fans, would I need to buy the splitter or a new motherboard?
