“I'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?”

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
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you do not have enough fan headers on your motherboard, you will need the Commander Pro. The Fan headers control the actual speed of the fans. The Commander pro has a Lighting Node Pro Built into it. You will use the Lighting Hub that comes with the fans in order to control the RGB on the fans, it should have 6 RGB (4 Pin Headers). If you get the Commander Pro, you can then control the speed and RGB of the fans from iCUE, instead of setting fan curves in the UEFI.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi, As long as you have the RGB hub for the LL fans then you can connect those directly to one of the LED ports on the Lighting Node Pro. For speed control, however, you'd need a fan controller (or Commander Pro [You'd also be able to use one of the LED ports on the CPro]).

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.That depends on your motherboard if you have the fan headers and USB header available you may not need the commander pro, but if not the commander pro makes it possible. My mother board has 5 system fan headers along with a CPU fan header along with a cpu pump header, and 2 usb 3 headers along with one USB 2 header not including the USB C header even then for cable management and the amount of USB device in the case the Commander Pro made the management easier. The H100 comes with cabling to attach to the USB header, CPU fan header if your motherboard also a connection to the serial ATA power. The commander pro added one more USB header to the system, So I plugged in the commander pro to the motherboard USB header then the pump USB and the power supply USB control header into the commander pro so that I can control both items with the IQ software and still have the front USB 3.0 and 2.0 plugs and still control the sysem.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes you will need the commander pro if you want to control all the lights And vans using the iCue softerware.
