    smaky got a reaction from ivanrcks95 in Cooler Master Q300L front panel mod.   
    I like it, it suits the OEM design and with a little twist (rainbow RGB) it could look like jelly beans tumbling down the front. Only this hurting my eyes is that a lot of the holes need to be filed out properly as there is some serious snowmanning going on there, but good work in achieving the goals you set out.

    Simple answer, no.
     
    The deepcool stuff is based on 4 pin 12V rgb this is +12V live wire then 1 wire each to control the R, G and B lines by modifying ground signal.
     
    Corsair uses 2 different standards, but both are 5V, the 3 pin version is +5V live, Di (control signal) and Ground.
                                                                                      the 4 pin version is +5V live, Di (control signal), Dr (Return signal) and Ground.
     
    The corsair 4 pin then is why with their fans you need to run a fan controller after the node pro and that why they must be plugged into the controller sequentially to maintain the return loop.
     
    DO NOT PLUG THE CORSAIR FANS ONTO THE BOARDS RGB HEADER. YOU WILL DAMAGE SOMETHING.
     
    Sadly if you had gone with an ASUS board there could have been a solution as Icue now supports a large ammount of their products through the board headers, I too have a system like yours with deepcool fans and other Corsair based RGB accessoriesd and wish they could be connected. But we all know that RGB is a scam and they just will not agree on a standard so we are just going to have to be careful what we buy and ensure that we don't mix up the different connection standards that use the same plugs...
