iCue RGB controllers needed?

So due to black friday, a AIO I've had my eyes on for a while has gone on sale. I want to replace the fans of this AIO with some Corsair LL120 RGB fans. I saw someone who sells a sealed 3-pack and 3 loose fans for €75 (sorry US people). Will I be able to link all my fans with iCue RGB, or do I need another controller for this?

Are the fans Corsair? If not, then you will need to buy adapters to convert to the Corsair proprietary RGB header to link into a lighting node, or whatever you use to control your Corsair RGB.

do you have the space on your controller for the three extra fans?

that's not a great deal. Btw I have an LL120 and it's really not that good

Yeah, the AIO's Corsair, and so are the fans. Just wanna make sure I can link the RGB.

if they're corsair fans, then it should work just fine in icue when connected to a corsair RGB controller.

I wouldn't get the SP120s, they are weak. The ML120 is good, though, on par with the Noctua A12x25 in general. 

 

I don't recall if iCUE can handle fans that aren't connected to an iCUE node or hub, but if it's connected to your mobo and you have Asus, it should. 

I've been using computers since around 1978, started learning programming in 1980 on Apple IIs, started learning about hardware in 1990, ran a BBS from 1990-95, built my first Windows PC around 2000, taught myself malware removal starting in 2005 (also learned on Bleeping Computer), learned web dev starting in 2017, and I think I can fill a thimble with all that knowledge. 😉 I'm not an expert, which is why I keep investigating the answers that others give to try and improve my knowledge, so feel free to double-check the advice I give.

If that doesn't work, try OpenRGB.
