[SOLVED] What is needed for Corsair iCue?

[lootzy]

I am building a new PC and ended up with several Corsair iCue RGB lighting parts but I've never done RGB lighting before so am not sure what I need to get it going properly.

My parts:

• Corsair 4000X Case
• Corsair H115i CPU Cooler
• Corsair LL120 RBG fans

Like a noob, I just figured you'd download some free Corsair iCue software and be able to have full control of your fan's lighting but it seems like that might not be the case. I am not certain however, because I haven't built my PC yet due to still trying to get a hold of the new AMD CPUs that are sold out everywhere. It seems like I may need either one of these components or even both to be able to manage my lighting?

- iCUE Commander PRO Smart RGB Lighting and Fan Speed Controller

and/or

- iCUE Lighting Node PRO RGB Lighting Controller

Any help is greatly appreciated.

The Commander Pro will control RGB and fans. The Node only controls RGB.

Or depending on how many additional fans you are thinking of you could change the cooler to

Awesome. Purchased. I haven't opened my H115i Platinum yet, so I will just return that for this better RGB version.

Great. Commander Pro purchased.
