Q: QuestionIs the commander pro compatible with non-corsair fans as long as they stay within the power limits?

Asked 4 years ago by riverslq.

• A:Answer Yes, you can connect non-Corsair fans to the Commander Pro as it is a 6 fan, 4 pin PWM controller; however, RGB control is proprietary and you will not be able to control that.

Q: QuestionLooking for the most efficient setup of the following Corsair LED gear: 3 QL fans 2 LL fans Hi100 platinum cooler Can you provide guidance on how this Comm. Pro, the Node Pro (provides with LL fans) and Node Core (QL fans) would work together?

Asked 5 years ago by ShumaniTotonka.

• A:Answer As a fan controller, all of the fans (fan cable) are plugged into this. The led cables on your fans goes into the node core and then the node core gets plugged into one of the 2 led slots on this. You wouldn’t need the node pro because this actually does the same thing. Especially since you only have 5 fans. The cooler can be plugged into one of the USB ports on this as well.

Q: QuestionI'm using the Corsair 465X case. I'm going to install the H100i RGB platinum and swap its fans for the ll series fans giving me 6 ll series fans total. Will i need the commander pro for this or can i use just the lighting node that comes with the case?

Asked 4 years ago by FirstTimeBuilder.

• A:Answer If you are using the Lighting Node Pro (which I assume you are as the Lighting Node Core is for a different set of fans) then it will handle up to 12 fans (for RGB lighting purposes only). The preferred method would be to connect these two fans to the pump as it is a unit. The pump on this water cooler has connections for the two fans PWM connections and the RGB lighting connections. A USB connection is required for the pump and lighting control. If you don't have an available USB header on your motherboard then you will need to go to the Lighting node commander pro which will give you two USB ports as well and would replace your Lighting Node Pro. Using the Corsair iCue software will let you control all of the water cooler functions as a unit so that as the pump speed increase the fan speeds would be managed within those fan speed curves that are designed for that pump. Hope this helps

Q: QuestionI bought the 220t Corsair Atx case and it came with lightning node core and 3rgb fans. I can only connect one fan to my motherboard, so two fans light up but don't spin. If I buy Commander PRO will it be able to control the fan speed of 3pin fans?

Asked 4 years ago by Frank.

• A:Answer Yes. The Commander Pro requires 1x USB-2 Header from the computer's mainboard, and 1 SATA-style power connector from your power supply. In return, it supplies: 2x Lighting channels (just like the Lighting Node Pro that came with the case) 2x USB-2 Headers 6x 4-pin PWN Fan power connectors (works fine with 3-pin fans) 4x 10K 2-pin Temperature Probe ports for optional temp probes (comes with 4 probes) The iCue software will allow you to set custom fan curves on each fan (or group them as you like) based on the CPU core temp, the GPU core temp, temp readings from the mainboard itself, or from any of the 4 optional temp probes that can be directly attached to the Commander Pro itself. Your existing Lighting Node Pro can either be removed entirely (since the Commander Pro also has 2 lighting channels), or you can plug it into one of the USB-2 Headers on the Commander Pro to give yourself a total of 4 Corsair lighting channels. I personally use these in 3 of my 4 liquid-cooled rigs. Highly recommended, and unlike a lot of Corsair products, it works very well and for years on end.

Q: QuestionHi I am building in the lian li o-11 dynamic case with 9 Corsair LL120 fans, do I need a commander pro in order to use them all, and if so how would I connect all 9 fans to what? Please help.

Asked 3 years ago by Sour.

• A:Answer I don't know if the Lian Li comes with any PWM or RGB hubs, but assuming it does not: even with the commander pro, you would not be able to connect 9 fans. If you get the LL fans in the 3-packs, each 3 pack comes with a Corsair Lighting Node Pro. Each Lighting Node Pro comes with two USB connections, which you could connect to 2 Corsair RGB fan hubs. But you still need 9 PWM connectors to power the fans, and the Commander Pro only has 6. In my opinion, Corsair has a great variety of products that allows for a lot of flexibility, but they also make it very hard to understand how all these components can be used together. For what it's worth, in my case, I have 10 Corsair QL120 fans, and I'm using a Commander Pro, RGB Hub, and Lighting Node Core (the Corsair naming convention is not very helpful). Because it's so confusing, I'm not sure what your best option is for connecting them. You could connect 2 of the Lightning Node Pros to 2 Corsair RGB fan hubs, then power the fans from the fan headers on your MOBO using splitters; or, for powering the fans using a Corsair product, add a Commander Pro and Lighting Node Core. Each of the Commander Pro and Lighting Node Core only have 6 PWM connectors. The Lighting Node Core has 6 PWM and 6 RGB connectors. If you haven't already bought the LL fans, I'd recommend the QL fans 3-pack, which come with the Lighting Node Core, which is much, much better than the Lighting Node Pro that comes with the LL 3-pack.

Q: QuestionI see that this has 2 RGB ports and 6 fan ports. I have 3 fans with RGB and power cables. Will this only support 2 of the RGB?

Asked 5 years ago by Emerson.

• A:Answer By default, the Corsair Lighting Node and Commander Pro only support Corsair ARGB products. Most Corsair ARGB fan 3-packs come with a 6-fan ARGB lighting hub that would plug into 1 of the lighting channels on a Commander Pro or Lighting Node Pro. I have seen where you can find this lighting hub separately from the fan packs if you hunt for it a bit. They usually aren't sold by themselves in retail, though.
