- A: AnswerHi TBone, That's correct, you would want to purchase 2 Commander Core XT's as you exceed the 6 fans that each unit can support. Our iCUE software can support those fan types if you're looking at the RGB versions, SP, QL, LL and ML. If you'd like to learn more about these fans, our software, or would like assistance with setup or installation, please feel free to reach out to our support team. We'd be more than happy to assist you directly: support.corsair.com -Brian

- A: AnswerTurns out the 2 BeQuiet PWM fans are not supported. I tried a couple of other non-Corsair fans and the did work (both 3 and 4 pin). However another issue surfaced. The magnetic base can cause issues with PC shutting down if mounted behind motherboard plate. I had to move the Core Xt base to a different location to stop the issue, very strange.

Q: QuestionIs this compatible with the sp120 rgb elite fans?(3 answers)
A: AnswerAll Corsair fans should be compatible with the commander core xt. Functionality in ICUE will vary depending on what features the fan has. I was using the SP120 fans with my commander core xt without any issues. Hardware Artisan has some excellent videos on Corsair fans on YouTube.Answered by Zack

Good
I decided to go for an aesthetically pleasing build for the first time, so I decided to buy two Commander Core XTs to give my Corsair LL120s the full effect. iCue software delivered more than expected, the special effects and customizable wave patterns on the LEDs look superb. My only suggestion is that it only supports up to 6 fans, many builds nowadays are using 7 fans. Thankfully it has an extra usb 2.0 header so I could daisy chain them with ease. It required a fair amount of cable management to get all to fit in my Lian Li O11 Dynamic Evo. I did like the fact that they can magnetically stick to the inside of any surface on the case, which was helpful. I still have room for 6 more LED fans on my AIO cooler, I would need to buy a third fan controller to make it happen. If Corsair made a fan controller that supports 8 fans and also includes the extra USB 2.0. header that would solve this problem.
