Does this fan setup work??? (corsair)

[Aakash_Ram]

  I was wondering if this would work as a modification to a previous post. My previous setup but I add another fan and for the RGB cable due to only 6 RGB headers I get this https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Accessories-|-Parts/PC-Components/Cases/Carbide-SPEC-DELTA-RGB-%2B12V-RGB-4-pin-1-to-3-Splitter-Cable/p/CC-8900326 in order to fit 7 fans into 1 hub. and for the power for the extra fan I plug it into my mobo. I am aware that I will have the same lighting effects for the 2 fans I connect to the splitter and I am fine with that. I am also aware that I may lose pwm on the fan I plug into the mobo.( I may not idk hopefully not). The main question is will this splitter work with the commander core, and will the fan work with mobo power.( I STILL WANT TO HAVE CONTROL OF THE RGB ON ALL FANS) ( the fan with the splitter will be the same one plugged into mobo )   Will this all work? Please respond and thank you for all your help

This setup will not work with the cable you linked.  The connectors are different (meant for 12v aRGB header) and Commander Core can only support up to 6 LED fans.  There is currently no way to add an RGB splitter with how our ecosystem is designed.  Best solution for more than 6 fans would be to purchase a Lighting Node Core.  If you're planning to upgrade to QL fans like the image you provided, the triple pack comes with a Lighting Node Core, so you won't have to purchase it separately.

ya if you want full controller over that 7 fan then you will need another controller.

the reason I'm opposed to this is that idk how it will work with the order of the fans in I-cue will . Can I still customize the RGB lighting as if it were plugged into the same hub. Also will plugging the fan into the mobo power it correctly? Also can you show me a new setup and how all the cables will plug in?

As of right now I don't believe you can change the order by device, only the fans on that specific channel.  Ie. 6 fans on Commander channel 1, you can change the order for that channel.  Don't think you can change the order by device, make one device light before the other manually, it is done automatically by how it is detected when iCUE initiates the devices for the first time.  Ie. If you want Commander Core detected first before Lighting Node Core, it has to be plugged in and detected by iCUE first before Lighting Node Core.  This is something that came up with elaborate systems like 1000D that will use multiple iCUE devices, and we're working to improve.
