Can I Use an RGB Fan On the CM Hyper 212 Evo and Pair it With the Rest of My Case Fans?

[erik62905]

Get ready for bad wording!

I am very new to RGB lighting (started looking yesterday). I have been looking at various fans for hours. I haven't ordered any of them yet. I decided on the 3 pack of Corsair LL120 RGB fans. I have an NZXT s340 non-elite and plan to put one fan on the exhaust and one on top. I plan to put the third on the Hyper 212 Evo.

I was wondering if it is possible to link the fan's RGB on the Hyper 212 to the other 2 case fans' RGB. I don't know if the fan has to be plugged into power from the controller or if I can plug it into the CPU fan power on the motherboard. (I want them to be connected so I can use the RGB and control it along with the other fans).

Another thing I am wondering is can the Corsair Lighting Node Pro with RGB strip lights work along with and connect to the fans?

I am really sorry if this is dumb but I need to know these things before I spend $100+ on 3 fans!


Edit: I have been looking and realized that I will still have one slot on the lighting node pro open so could I get the HD120s instead and save money?

The Corsair fans have separate power/speed control and lighting. So you can certainly put the LL (or HD) fan on your cooler, plug it into CPU_FAN and then have the other cable go the the Fan Hub and Lighting Node Pro.
