Corsair fan controller

[Adsome2007]

I’m gonna get a Corsair icue 220t with an h100i rgb platinum and I want to know if I can use the included fan controller to control the Front fans and the fans on the aio since the aio uses ml120 rgb fans and the case uses so 120 rgb fans?

I'm not 100% sure on this but I think the fan controller needs a single type of fan (at least the RGB if that's what you're talking about).

 

The good news though is that at least for the h100i rgb platinum, and I can talk from personal experience here, you won't need the fan controller. Both wires for the two included ML120 fans plug directly into the pump header for power/RPM controller and RGB.

You should be able to connect any of the Corsair RGB Pro fans into the Lightning Node Core. I believe this only controls the RGB functions itself, you will still have to plug the PWM cables into your motherboard directly in order to control fan speeds.

 

Corsair RGB fans are a bit of a nightmare for cable management since each fan has two cables:

1. A PWM power cable that you can connect to the motherboard or a fan control hub
2. A proprietary Corsair 5V addressable RGB cable that is connected into a Commander/Lightning Node/Core unit

So just connect the thinner looking RGB control cables into the CORE on the back of your case and connect the CORE's USB 2.0 header into your motherboard. The CORE also has a SATA power connector that will need to be connected to your PSU. Make sure to plug the fans into the CORE in sequential order and don't skip a number or the iCue software won't register any fans after the skipped number. Then connect all of the fans PWM cables into your motherboard and you should be set. 

 

This video does a pretty good job of explaining all of the connections between Corsair RGB fans and your case/motherboard. You can skip some of the stuff in the middle since the CORE combines the Lightning Node PRO and the lightning hub into a single unit.

But will the core work with two different types of fans at the same time

Corsair's own marketing video seems to indicate it should work with any of their "RGB" fans. I have 3 MLs and 3 LL RGB fans connected into two Lightning Node PROs which are then connected as separate channels into a single RGB hub. The CORE basically replaces my two Node PROs and RGB hub with a single unit.
