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.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.also might try using a fan spliter https://www.amazon.com/JBtek-Black-Sleeved-Splitter-Converter/dp/B01EF9OI0O/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=fan+splitter&qid=1627929238&s=electronics&sr=1-3
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.well if you buy (3) 3 packs of the ll120 that will come with the RGB hubs. The commander pro has 6 power ports. this means you will have 3 fans not connected to icue. you would have to buy 2 commander pros. another option is buying the corsair 240mm or 280mm or 360mm CPU cooler https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Liquid-Cooling/iCUE-ELITE-CAPELLIX-Liquid-CPU-Cooler/p/CW-9060047-WW https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Liquid-Cooling/iCUE-ELITE-CAPELLIX-Liquid-CPU-Cooler/p/CW-9060046-WW https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Liquid-Cooling/iCUE-ELITE-CAPELLIX-Liquid-CPU-Cooler/p/CW-9060048-WW These come with a commander pro also. so kinda win win.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi Sour, The Commander Pro would support up to 6 fan PWM connections, you would need a 2nd unit for more connections. You will also need 2 6-port RGB fan hubs for the RGB connections as well. Please feel free to reach out to our support team if you'd like help with your setup: support.corsair.com -Brian
