Posted February 19, 2021 Hello world, I have recently thought about getting some RGB life into my system and knowing that corsair is among the best out there, thought it would probably best to go down that route. I found the cheapest way to do this would be their refreshed SP iCUE compatible series of fans because they don't look awful and aren't overpriced unlike the LLs. The thing I do not know is whether I need a RGB header on my motherboard for it to work. Would I then also be able to hook up some rgb strips? Any advice is appreciated, e.

Take a look at this, https://github.com/Legion2/CorsairLightingProtocol allows you to use any ARGB or RGB fans with corsair software, however it is DIY and can be done very cheap.

Great help on the discord https://discord.gg/RUUDdtPB. I unfortunately don't have the possibility of DIYing much... As far as my research goes I do not need a RGB header, just a USB, which I have. Is the lighting node pro necessary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each fan has 2 cables if I'm not mistaken, one PWM and one RGB, the PWM I would hook up a PWM hub and the RGB to the node core which would come in one of the 3 packs, what does the node core connect to?
