Corsair LL120 RGB

7r3evor · Feb 3, 2018

OK so I bought a new Corsair LL120 RGB Fan Today and Installed it in the Back for an Exhaust Fan Just 1 Fan where my I/O Shield is ok now I only have the Sp120s that are Pre-installed in the Front on my Corsair 570x and I installed those on my Corsair h100i v2 which lights up change colors etc. OK so now with that Being Said when I installed the Corsair LL120 in the Back I took the Fan Power Cord that's Connected to the LL120 plugged it into my motherboard fan Connector for Power then took the other cord which is also connected to the LL120 which is the RGB Cord and Plugged that into the Pre-installed RGB fan Hub Connector that's comes with the 570x on the back of the RGB Hub where it says 1-6 the fans on my front Radiator are already Plugged into 1-3 so I plugged the LL120 into number 4 so now I power my PC on But the LL120 only Lights up in the Color White and all 4 fans Are spinning Good so I try changing the color by using the Lighting Controller on the 570x and it just Changes the front fans Color Only and not the LL120 did I do Somthing Wrong Here?

To control Corsair LL series fans LEDs, you'll need Corsair Lighting Node Pro,

Corsair LL series are incompatible with the LED controller used for Corsair SP RGB and Corsair HD RGB series.

A few people already told me I didn't even need the Lighting node pro they said all I needed was the Commander Pro

Aeacus · Feb 4, 2018

Well, you can use Corsair Commander Pro as well but Commander Pro costs considerably more than Lighting Node Pro,
specs: http://www.corsair.com/en-us/corsair-commander-pro

Also, if you'd buy the 3x LL120 pack or 2x LL140 pack then you'd also get Lighting Node Pro with the fans. There's no controller included with LL series if you buy the single pack,

LL120 RGB 120mm Dual Light Loop RGB LED PWM Fan — Single Pack

This product is intended as an expansion of the LL120 RGB LED 3 fan kit with Lighting Node PRO. The RGB functionality of this product requires an RGB Lighting hub and Lighting Node PRO.

So how many node pros do I need to buy to controll all 6 fans

devbiker · Feb 4, 2018

You'll be able to control all 6 fans with 1 Node Pro and 1 Fan Hub. The Node Pro will be connected to the Fan Hub. The Fan Hub will connect to all 6 fans from one hub.

Both come with the LL multipacks.

Note that this only control the RGB functions. You'll still need to control the fan speed from motherboard headers or a fan controller.

The Commander Pro has the functionality of the Node Pro plus 2 internal USB headers, a 6 port fan controller and 4 temperature sensors. But it is not required.

7r3evor · Feb 4, 2018

OK so if you had to choose 1 which 1 would u Buy the Node Pro or the Commander Pro not really sure If you might get better Cable Mangment with Commander pro sinnce it has Extra usb and Fan Ports so you wont have to run the fan Connectors to your Motherboard thats the Only thaing that I could think of if I bought the Commander Pro

7r3evor · Feb 4, 2018

Why does it only have 2 connectors

devbiker · Feb 4, 2018

You can't buy the Node Pro separately. You need to get it with RGB strips or with the LL fan multi packs. So that's one factor. You can get a fan hub separately direct from Corsair.

I, personally, have a Commander Pro in two different systems. I'm a fan of the device. I like that I can control the fan speeds based on temperature sensors that I control and can place exactly where I want them. I also like having multiple profiles for fan speeds and the ability to copy fan curves. It gives you more control over fan speeds but does require a bit of tweaking to get it right. If you don't want to do that, then it's not a good choice for you.

In any situation, you will need the Fan Hub. If you have SP and LL fans, you'll need two fan hubs (1 for each type of fan). While the fan hub is available separately, the cable from the Lighting Node Pro or Commander Pro is not. I'm fairly certain it comes with the Commander Pro. It definitely comes in the LL multipacks.

Found the Node Pro for $33 brand new on ebay never been used but without the led strips

devbiker · Feb 4, 2018

The Commander Pro (and the Lighting Node Pro) both have 2 RGB connectors. These connectors can connect to 4 RGB strips OR a single RGB Fan Hub. The fan Hub can connect to up to 6 RGB fans. You DO NOT connect the fans RGB cables directly to the Commander Pro (or the Lighting Node Pro).

The Commander Pro also has:
6 PWM/DC controllable fan headers
4 temperature sensors
2 internal 2 port USB headers

Lmao man I was so Confused now it's starting to make a lot more Sense thanks man

devbiker · Feb 4, 2018

7r3evor :

Wow. Considering that Corsair charges $10 extra for the strips + LNP vs. just the 4 strips ... seems a touch extreme. More importantly ... does it have the cables to connect to the Fan Hub?

Hi guys, I have the same problem. I bought 3x LL120 thinking it's okay but my Mobo doesn't have enough connectors. Personally I don't care much about iCUE and syncing the RGB. Any cheap alternatives out there?

Aeacus · Dec 16, 2018

julienruc :

There are only 2x ways you can connect LL-series fans to get their LEDs working:
* RGB LED hub + Commander Pro (fan and LED control via iCUE)
* RGB LED hub + Lighting Node Pro (only LED control via iCUE)

image:

But if you need more fan headers to power your fans, then you can use Y-splitter and connect 2x fans on single MoBo fan header.

Where to get RGB LED hub?

Aeacus · Dec 17, 2018

julienruc :

From Corsair of course,

julienruc · Dec 18, 2018

That's perfect. No chance that I can use the 10$ hub and not use the lightning node/commander (I don't care about iCUE)?

devbiker · Dec 18, 2018

Not with that motherboard; it only has 12V Analog RGB connections. If you had one of the motherboards with a 5V Addressable RGB connection, an adapter would be possible.

julienruc · Dec 18, 2018

Damn...[strike] So I can't simply buy the Lightning Node Pro alone either then?[/strike]

Ah it only has two connectors.

devbiker · Dec 18, 2018

The LNP connects to the fan hub. The Fan Hub connects the fans and provides power for the fans. Corsair doesn't sell the LNP alone; it comes in packs with 4 strips or the LL or ML RGB Fan Multipacks.
