    How are you controlling the RGB on the 500DX? I've the same case and also running a Asus motherboard (Z390-A) but the case RGB connecter isn't compatible with the MB RBG Header. Are you just leaving it to the case button and not synching its lighting at all?
  • @sparkywalton
    Hi, I’ve just bought the Corsair 4000x case which has 3 fans installed and the lightning node core. The motherboard is ASUs tuf gaming b560m atx. How should I connect the fans to the motherboard? Thanks
  • @MSkov89
    What if I have Commander Core already installed from my H170i AIO. How do I intregrade the Lighting Core into my setup?
  • @peaceworld0
    Hi, is there any way for me to install just one of these fans without the use of the hub? Is it possible my MOBO might have a port on it that could supply power and/or RGB control? Thanks
  • Thanks for the video! I have a question: I am expecting my PC parts to build my first PC and already have two of these 140mm fans purchased . My motherboard will be an ASRock B550M STEEL LEGEND Micro ATX, will it be able to handle all the connections without the need for a splitter?
  • I will be using 10 Corsair ML120, 6 ML140 or QL140 on my radiator (push/pull configuration), argb GPU bracket, led strips, and the Corsair Water Cooling H170i Elite Capellix Black. I want to use the Corsair Commander pro. I need assistance with is how to hook them up. The case will be the obsidian 1000D. Thank you for any assistance you can give.
  • @zubzero4493
    Hi can i just connect the other 4pin connecter to my motherboard as i have 3 spare connecters on my motherboard 4pin ones?
  • @cookieguy1324
    what type of screw are the mounting screws? I installed the Corsair QL140 in my pc a long time ago and lost of the manuals. But now im looing to get some anti-vibration rubber rings to make the fans quieter.
  • @JomarsYT
    You can connect 3 p/ header since the max is 1amp so 3x3 give you 0.9amp
  • greetings friend i want to ask my ql120 rgb fans working perfectly but i dont have light nothing lights not working .i have downloading the i cue program i can see them in the program, i change lightn effects and colour but nothing the lights dont work but the fans are running
  • I bought a NZXT Kraken X73 RGB and 6x Corsair iCUE QL120 and my Mainboard is an ASUS ROG STRIX B550 -E Gaming. I am not sure if I need a splitter for all of those six fans and the Kraken and if it will all fit on my motherboard. I am not a PC guy but I have to build it myself (bought the parts from different websites). I am really confused tbh, this video helped a little bit but I am still trying to figure out if I will need splitters or not and I would appreciate it if you could give a short answer :)
  • @jamesjimmy1440
    Please tell me lightning node core six port 3pins or 4pins...
  • How do you recommend to connect 7x ql120 inside the Corsair 5000d ? Can I plug 6x 120 rgb connector to the lightning core and use the output of that (USB header) and plug it to the commander core ? My main problem is the 7th fan (rgb and pwm plug) .
  • @rockyracoon133
    So if I'm installing 3 of these fans, it is recommended that I buy a splitter ?
  • @amykaushik5819
    Hey I was wondering if anybody could sell me a node core
