No joke I ended up subbing because I invariably find myself coming back to this channel when looking for more in-depth information about Corsair's products. You're doing their work for them. Like still to this day I have no idea what the "ID Header" does on the Core XT, and searching on Corsair's own website yields NO information on it. Crazy.

Mind sharing how you connected your h150i to the commander pro xt? There's a 24 pin connector on the h150i that only seems to connect to the included commander core, so I had to go with only one xt and return the other. I would have much rather used both xt's though!

@@AegonVI It's not possible to power the H150i from a Commander Core XT. I used the Commander Core that came with the H150i and a Commander Core XT. Those two Commanders are basically the same aside from the connector for the H150i pump.

Another great video! Using the Visor effect I'm getting about a 10 second delay in the LED sequence between my Commander XT and Commander Core. I have 10 QL fans, four running off the Commander Core from the AIO and the other six off the Commander XT. Going from the XT to the Core or vice versa there is a pause of about 10 seconds in the LED sequence from one fan to the next going either direction. Don't know if it matters but I also have 128GB (4x32GB DIMMs) of Corsair Dominator Platinum RAM. At first I though the sequence was jumping to that but it doesn't appear to be.
@HardwareArtisan
@HardwareArtisan Жыл бұрын
Hi BP, thanks for the feedback, i'm happy you are finding the videos helpful. I've had this happen to me exactly as you've described, where it appears there is a delay in the sequence. In I think every case, it's always been that it's firing to another chain of RGB that I didn't have installed.....too much messin around, haha! I would start with checking your CORE and CORE XT for any other RGB chains. Check if you have 3 pin lighting effects enabled/configured...and disable that (assuming you don't have any 3 pin lighting effects)....that will cause this as it will send signals for those devices. If that's not it, i'd just double check the CORE And CORE XT have properly detected the right amount of fans and the right type. Update iCUE to the latest, restart your PC and if nothing else is working. Personally, i'd clear the config on the controller and reset it up. I think i'd remove the RGB connections, just pull them out of the connection, then rerun the wizard with nothing in there. Then re-add them and rerun the wizard and double check. Here is the firing order for Visor to the best of my knowledge..... KB -> Mouse -> RGB mouse pad -> Lighting Node Pro -> Lighting Node Core -> Commander Pro -> Commander Core -> RAM -> External Ambient Lighting (LS100, LT100, ST100). I think the CORE XT is right after the CORE, or before, I cannot recall, I need to go revisit that, might be a good short-ish video to do. The RAM should be last in that sequence if you have the lighting configured.... If that doesn't do it, reinstall icue perhaps. I'll try and go retest the order of that effect, let me know what you find! Good luck, keep having fun!!!

I have my AIO fans running to my Core XT and just the pump running to the Core that came with it, does it matter if the AIO pump and AIO fans aren’t connected to the same Core? And which one should I run the temp sensors to?

Hi, I have a Commander Core that came with AiO cooling. In your opinion, will it be safe to connect 8 fans to it, without disturbing the operation of the controller, brightness and fan speed? I'm going to do it like this: 1, 2 and 3 ports for AiO fans. Two fans for port 4 and two fans for port 5 by means of splitters. To the sixth port, the rear fan.

So i have the corsair lcd aio and it came with the basic commander (that doesn't have the extra rgb header and only one temp probe) i got 4 more corsair fans for Christmas. 3 of them came in a set with the lighting node core (the one with like 3 different modules and only has connection for rgb and fan has to go into the motherboard) the last fan was independent of anything) i plan to get an additional 3 fans and want to know what's the least i need to buy (module wise) to get them all connected and controlled properly in icue. I'm doing a bunch of research but figured maybe some local experts could help me with some feed back. Thank you.

Thanks for the video, very informative and easy to understand. Do you know if I can use the RGB hub to control the RGB for non-fan RGB devices; say like the RGB for a pump or reservoir or even just an led strip? My idea being to use the Commander XT to control my fans, both speed and RGB, and then connecting the RGB hub to the XT and use that hub to control other non-fan lighting (with those non-fan devices being powered elsewhere). Or does it only control corsair fan RGB?

Hi Tambo Biscuits, great questions. The RGB hub is meant to specifically be a FAN Hub. it's a 4 pin connection and I've not tested making any conversions from that to non-fan RGB devices. The core XT has an RGB ports, which is corsairs 3 pin connector, to which you can directly attach Corsairs RGB strips and a few other devices. I did a video on using a conversion cable on this port which would allow you to connect it to a more standard RGB hub to control other devices. It's not a perfect solution however. You could also gain more of these 3 pin ports with the Lighting node Pro, which has two of them. Check out this vdeo here for some ideas: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gM18iKeWlt_eias.html - How to get all your RGB working with CORSAIR iCUE - Tutorial

As some one who just did a build with 10 Corsair QL which included two XTs and the Commander Core and way too many fan cables (10x2=20), I'm far happier with 10 Lian Li AL120s. I still have the Commander Core from the H150i but I now only have ONE fan controller and eight fan cables, three cables going to the mobo AND I was able to put my HDD cage back in because I had an 8TB HDD to install. I had to remove it to fit the controllers. It took so many hours of cable management and figuring out how to best connect the controllers. I also saved $220 after returning all the corsair stuff; $520 for the corsair, $300 for the Lian Li. And the Lian Lis look so much nicer. Sure I don't have as much glow from the side light rings on the QLs but when looking at the finished job, I could not ignore all the dead spots of the Corsair fans (LLs do it too but not as much). The Lian Lis have a steady glow and I'm not distracted by the LEDs under the fan. They also get pretty bright. Lian Lis also work with Signal RGB. And the specs of the AL120s are so much better. And "visor", what Lian Li calls "scan" works across all sets. No I'm not a Lian Li salesman, maybe a fan boy now, but do check them out for you next build. There is more that they can do. They really solve all the gripes I have with the Corsairs.

Hi GiSWiG, Thanks for the excellent insight on your experiences with Lian Li AL120's and the Corsair Fans. All are very valid points. I have a set of al120 fans here, but i've never done a build with them, perhaps i'll do a comparison video. I have used some Lian Li components in the past, mainly the Strimer series power cables.....Simply Amazing!!! I've no doubt the AL120 fans will hold up to the same standard as those cables. I've always liked Corsair, but I have no affiliation with them and will totally check out some AL120 Fans and their ecosystem. Thanks for taking the time to bring us some new insights!! And thanks for watching!

@@HardwareArtisan I should mention some cons but really only after having used the Corsair fans. You don't have the ability to layer effects like in iCUE. You can't create a solid color base layer and then add a spiral layer on top of that and in the case of QL and LL fans, you don't have the control of the outer ring. But I really don't have time to deal with all that. Regardless of Corsair or Lian Li, SignalRGB can do some great lighting effects easily. With the ALs, I can pass control of the lighting to the motherboard with the flip of a switch, literally. I haven't played around with it yet but I think I can use the ASUS Aurora Creator and control the fans that way. I don't think the software will tie in my EVGA GPU like SignalRGB. I also now have 2 8TB HDDs installed, something that I just didn't have the room for with all the Corsair control boxes. And something else that just I just experienced, I removed the tray with three ALs on it by disconnecting ONE cable, slid the tray with three fans attached completely out of the case with no cables attached. Now will Corsair do the same thing with future fans? Probably, unless the concept is patented by Lian Li, which I don't think they can? IDK. If you ever do a review, be sure to bring those points up.

@@Blash1 I got the Corsairs at Best buy because they were on sale but returning to BB is much easier, even on-line orders. I don't know if they have the Lian Li's but you can get those on Amazon. Now of course, you can get the Lian Li Infinity fans so now you have side illumination. Really, if you pay attention to YT reviews of the fans that have high quality cameras (no offense Hardware Artisan) you can see how well the light diffuses in both fans. I think you'll like the Lian Li's. They can be controlled by their included fan hub or can be passed through from the motherboard. The Corsairs are not bad, just didn't work well for me, especially with the now 13 AL 120 fans in my case (excessive?). Its a total of 10 cables for those. 13 Corsair fans would be 26 cables.

So I can add a splitter to the non RGB side, for fans 7,8,9. Can also add an additional splitter for three non-RGB fans that are not corsairs? This would fans10, 11, 12 . They are black NZXT fans for a push pull setup. in other words, is it too much to draw on the amps at 6 via 2 three ways splitters. Another commander core XE would be easier I believe how would I hook that up in a daisy chain, or would I hook them up independently Thanks
