Hello everyone My setup :
13700KF
Z790 ASUS ROG H-GAMING
Corsair H170i Elite LCD XT
Be Quiet Silent Base 802
Gigabyte RTX 4090 WINDFORCE V2

There are several problems, about everything in order:

1. When you first turn on the PC, the fans spin at 100% literally for 2-3 seconds, then they return to normal, in the Corsair Icue software, I do not see my Commander Core XT, only the pump, although everything is connected, based on the posts and forums I read earlier, I think the problem still lies in the USB power supply 2.0, and the Corsair Internal USB HUB 2.0 will be purchased soon, and I hope then ICUE will be able to see Commander Core XT to adjust the fans from the start of the system.
Perhaps someone else has faced this and what solutions did they have? Am I on the right track?

2. At the moment, I'm thinking of changing the case to Lian LI Dynamic EVO XL White, and assembling an RGB well-blown assembly. The bottom line is that my LSO is at 420mm (I originally took one specifically to make cooling better, but I am bothered by the same problem that I described above, and I am already thinking of changing it, as a result of this it is planned to replace it with a conditional Deepcool LS720 (I have not yet decided) and buy fans, the essence of the question is what if problem 1 is solved with the start of the CSR and the fact that Icue does not see CCXT, is it worth buying additional fans from Corsair in the complete system? Namely, the Corsair iCUE AF140 RGB ELITE Dual pack x3 with lighting node core, since the case will have the ability to install 9x140mm and 2x120mm fans, the space will take 3, 6x140 remains on the case, Corsair iCUE AF120 RGB Elite Triple pack, on the back side.
Or still take the Deepcool LS720 and ARGB fans from Be Quiet Light Wings 3 Triple Pack 140mm x2 and Be Quiet Light Wings 3 Triple Pack 120mm x1, then there will be no problems with the backlight.

3. There is an opportunity to leave the Corsair SOHO and buy fans from Be Quiet, but will there be backlight synchronization? That is, adjust the backlight of the fans as they are ARGB via Asus Armoury Crate, and synchronize via iCUE, with the backlight of the Corsair H170i Elite LCD XT, so that there is one color, but without any adapters, using only native adapters, namely CCXT and Be quiet ARGB HUB?

The Lian LI Dynamic EVO XL White is a great case, although it takes up a lot of space. I just finished a build two days ago using one. I tried twice with the H170i and finally gave up as the Commander Core has so many issues. I kept several sets of Corsair fans after I went to a Lian Li Galahad II and it was smooth sailing.
And you recommend me to switch AIO from corsair to another one, and take fans too from another brand? For now i stopped on Be Quiet Light Wings 3

I use 6 LCD fans from Corsair (2 ML120 RBG Elite) along with my Lian Li Gallahad II and it all looks good. The big issue for me was not spending all my time screwing with their faulty Commander Core.

It's totally up to you, I just want stuff to work. I've gone through hundreds of posts about all the problems with the Commander Core and intermittent issues that it causes and I did not want any chance of that. I use two open source apps: Fan Control and Open RBG that work pretty well for me.
