Corsair fans? Hd120 and ml140

[Donk323]

So I have 3 HD120s and i have a AiO i want to change the fans to 2 ML140s, i just have a hub for like 6 fans rgb but I don't know if my mobo has enough headers for it (Z370 Aorus Gaming 7) if not how do I power them? Do I need a commander pro? Also I want to get led strips do I need corsair only led strips or can I use any? Thanks for your help !

Are you looking for headers to control fan power and speed or the fan RGB? And are the ML140s the ML-RGB fans or the ML 'Classic' (nonRGB) fans?

Assuming that the ML fans are RGB, you can actually put them on the same fan hub. Now, this isn't a supported a configuration but it does work. From a setup perspective, 3 ML fans == 1 HD Fan. So ... it'll work but configuration (if you are using a Lighting Node Pro) won't be right and effects may be off. IF you have a lighting node pro, rather than the HD push-button controller, you'd set up 3 HD fans and 2 ML fans as 4 HD fans in iCue.

For the strips, you will absolutely need to use a Lighting Node Pro. And you really should only use the Corsair strips with the Corsair Lighting Node Pro. Others have gotten 3rd party strips to work but that's a completely unsupported scenario.
