460X RGB Fan Speed Control

[Ricky5555]

Hi guys

Looking at buying this case. I understand that it comes with a built in light controller. I was wondering though how I'd be able to control the speed of the included fans?

How does the fan controller connect to the mobo? Can I just hook it up to the fan headers on the mobo to control? And if so can I still use the built in lighting controller?

Cheers guys.

Corsair 460X RGB comes with fan hub, specs: http://www.corsair.com/en-eu/corsair-rgb-fan-led-hub
and LED controller, specs: http://www.corsair.com/en-eu/corsair-sp-rgb-fan-led-controller

You can control the speed of the fans from LED controller since PWM fan hub doesn't connect to the MoBo.
Both extras are installed behind MoBo tray,

Thanks for your answer. I was under the impression that the LED controller could only control lighting not fan speed.

I've since built this system and this answer was incorrect. The Corsair fans come with two cables. One for the LED and one for power. The case ships with the fans already hooked up to the LED controller but the power cables are left unplugged. These can either be plugged into your motherboard or in my case I have them plugged into my NZXT Grid fan controller. Do note these are three pin fan headers.

My bad.
At the time when i wrote my reply, i was under impression that the SP120 RGB LED fans were powered by the fan hub.
By the time i found out that they were powered separately, i wasn't able to find your topic anymore since there are several hundreds of topics where i've given a reply.
Again, i'm sorry for the inconvenience i caused due to my erroneous reply.

No worries mate. I wasn't replying to say you were wrong I was just posting just in case anyone else needed this information in the future.
