Corsair Commander PRO Digital Fan And RGB Lighting Controller - Black

Product Information

The CoPro won't show you the power draw. You have to do the math. How many strips are you using and what size? Look them up, calculate the draw and see if it's under 2A (or 2000mA). Cooling and lighting control for a modern system can be convoluted and messy. One program controls your lighting, another controls your fans, and maybe even a third monitors your temperatures. Our CORSAIR LINK software and the new Commander PRO combine these features into a single device and software combo. The Commander Pro's fan headers, like most fan headers, are limited to 1.0A. If you go over that ...

I did get in touch with Corsair support about that, and they think it's the bandwith of usb 2 that is the problem.The CORSAIR Commander PRO controls up to six case fans and two RGB lighting channels, with four repositionable temperature sensors and two USB 2.0 internal headers. Same for the pumps, they will have to run at the same speed, so they can go on a simple 2 way PWM splitter The 6 fans on the front and side are connected to the PWM Repeater that is with the 5000D Airflow and atm they are connected to the MB (Strix Z590-3 with an i9 11900k) and using the bios to control the intake, they are also connected to their own RGB hub and Lighting Node.

I was intending to add 2 or 3x of the QL120 fans to this commander core. But reading what you wrote, it would seem that I would not be able to alter the color scheme or fan speed on these fans as they are not the same ones used on the H100i? I'm not letting the fans spinning at more than 2400 rpm (mainly to avoid too much noise and the cooling is less impacted) and all my fans are using a custom curve. Honestly I'm a little frustrated with corsair about the ml120 rgb pro fans for sale separately. They only have 4 leds per fan, while the ML120s with the h150i elite capellix are 8 rgb per fan. I wanted them to all match. It seems like going with sp120s might be the best from an rgb asthetics point of view, but I'd prefer magnetic levitation ones if they were available with the same 8 rgb leds per fan. I have the H100i V2 cooler, the Commander Pro, the RGB hub, 4 of the RGB strips and 5 of the LL 120 MM fans. Hi Robert, that’s probably not the commander pro or perhaps there’s a new version I am not aware of.

You can use a Lightning Node Core (hub and controller in one) to power fans. It connects to the system via usb 2 and will show as a separate device. In terms of specifications, the Commander Pro measures 133mm x 69mm x 15.5mm. It’s pretty slim and can be hidden behind the motherboard tray or at the bottom of the chassis. It has a logic power input of 2.97V to 3.63V, then 4.5V to 5.5V. The fan is 11.4V to 12.6V and the RGB LED is 4.5V to 5.5V. The maximum power per fan header (combined) is 1A per port (4.5A combined). Meanwhile, the maximum power for the RGB LED channels is 4.5A. Typically not an issue for Intel, but that is a lot of hardware going through one port. You might only need 1 NZXT hub, but given the size and expense invested already that may be easier for installation purposes. You can momentarily connect the other devices to MB directly for the purpose of demonstrating functionality, but this is the issue for 99% of users. Guess what I'm asking is with those 6 fans they are currently combined with the 'classic' rgb strips, can I safely swap the rgb strips without risking power overdraw. Or is there a place on the commander pro I can see power draw?

Avoid splitters unless the splitter has its' own connection to the PSU and you are using the header to simply monitor speed. Edits for damn auto-correct and Swype errors plus another question-- In my iCUE AIO tab fan settings the scale is temp x percentage. In the CoPro tab it's temp x rpm(0 to 5000). I find using a percentage much easier and when most fans don't go over 2000 it's also much easier to make a good curve. When only making a curve for a 0 to 1500 fan using a scale that is 0 to 5000 it makes things very tight. I couldn't find a way to change the scale. Is it not possible or am I missing it somewhere? You might see PowerShell options in the Power User Menu instead of Command Prompt. In more recent versions of Windows 10, Command Prompt has been replaced by PowerShell, but you can switch between PowerShell and Command Prompt from the Power User Menu. Terminal is the replacement in Windows 11. Open Command Prompt in Windows 8 or 8.1 So ... if you want some help with your heat problem, we need to have that information (as a start) to being to look at it.Both. I have 3 fans connected to one header with with a total current if 0.9A. That should not matter, I can do the same off a MB header no problems. See our list of Windows 7 commands and list of Windows XP commands if you need a command reference for any of those versions of Windows. As mentioned above, these Commander Core/XT controllers were intended to be "1 device/1 controller" set-ups for people with basic 6 RGB fan systems. Your set-up is not simple. I don't know if you have return options, but the scheme suggested above it what I would normally recommend. Using the "dumb" PWM repeater hubs. The hard part is the RGB. Normally I would say use the Lighting Node Pro devices (2 channels, small box) but you likely don't have any RGB Lighting Hubs and obtaining a bunch of those would make the LNPro cost as much as the XT. Additionally, the LNPro will only allow you to put 6 QL on it and not 12 like other lower 5v current fans. That makes it only marginally better a XT.

Note : It happened after the update of the firmware (to the version 0.8.210) but I don't think it's related.The Commander Pro has 6 QL 120mm Fans powered and all 6 lighting wire are connected to 1st USB Lighting Node.
