Sp120 questions

[2raw]

Hello everyone, I have a 460x with 4 sp120 rgb fans and 4 in-series corsair rgb strips, 1 fan rgb hub and the commander pro. Thinking about getting the pc 011 dynamic for more space and water cooling.
Question 1: how would I go about using 9 sp120 fans plus the 4 strips and have it work on the icue software? Do I need another commander or another rgb hub?

Question 2: On newegg or says the sp120 rgb's are individually addressable but in the icue software it only has option to apple effect to the fan as a whole, not the 8 individual rgbs.

Thanks

take some splitters.

I have 9 LL120s and this is how i got it to work

 

 

RGB

6 LL120s -> RGB Hub ↳

                                        -> One commander Pro(it has two ports for rgb hubs to attach to)

3 LL120s -> RGB Hub ↱

 

 

So, you need 2 RGB Hubs and one commander pro to power the RGB of 9 RGB Corsair Fans.

 

Power

You can skip this if you want to power the fans through the motherboard, but using this, you can change the fan speed and the RGB through the same corsair software(icue/link)

 

LL120 -                                                                  - LL120 + LL120(combined with a 1 to 2 PWM fan splitter. It is not recommended to go above 1 to 2)

LL120 - Commander Pro(it has 6 PWM fan slots) - LL120 + LL120(combined with a 1 to 2 PWM fan splitter. It is not recommended to go above 1 to 2)

LL120 -                                                                  - LL120 + LL120(combined with a 1 to 2 PWM fan splitter. It is not recommended to go above 1 to 2)

 

 

AFAIK, You cannot go above 6 fans and still have RGB strips. I've asked Corsair about using more commander pros/ using a commander pro + a lighting node pro and they said that it was not supported, and it would not be guaranteed to work.

Ah ok, so I'd have to ditch the strips. Maybe I can use them with the motherboards rgb header although it has limited effects.maybe il do 6 rgb fans and strips and have 3 non rgb fans pulling ontop through radiator.
