[SOLVED] Very confused on what I need to buy for Corsair Fans

[jonstnfr]

I would really like to buy 6 total RGB fans to add into my 750D. I want to get 2 HD140’s (front of case) and 3 HD120’s (top of case) and then a sixth fan (preferably a 140 but if I cant find one cheaply then a 120) as an exhaust. I own a Asus X470-F motherboard but I am very confused as to what I will need to buy in order to control the RGB and fan speeds. I would assume I am going to need a lighting node or commander at minimum? I would prefer the fans to all be controlled by iCue though if that makes a difference. Thanks!!

If you buy the HD120 3-pack, you'll get all the needed RGB control hardware with it,
specs: https://www.corsair.com/eu/en/LED-Color/Fan-Size/hd-series-rgb-led-config/p/CO-9050067-WW

Those included hardware include 6x port RGB hub, manual RGB controller (with 3x buttons) and cable to connect 6x port RGB hub to Lighting Node Pro.

If you want to control the fan LEDs via iCUE, you'll also need to buy LNP,
specs: https://www.corsair.com/eu/en/Categories/Products/CORSAIR-LINK/CORSAIR-Lighting-Node-PRO/p/CL-9011109-WW

In other words, for complete setup, you need to buy:
* HD120 3-pack
* Lighting Node Pro
* 3x HD140 fans (or single HD120/140 fan + HD140 2-pack**)

** The same 6x port RGB hub and manual RGB controller found in HD120 3-pack is also included with HD140 2-pack.

To power the fans, connect them directly to your MoBo or buy any fan hub you desire. Fan controller works too, e.g Commander Pro,

And here's image of the two connecting methods,
