- This video takes a deeper look at the Corsair Commander Core XT. This smart RGB and fan speed controller does a great job in centralizing control of your Fan speed and RGB in the corsair iCUE software. This device also gives you some additional RGB control and 2 temperature sensors which can used for monitoring and custom fan control.
This video is a review but also a basic instructional guide on how to cable up this device and get started with setting up your fans and rgb lighting in iCUE

Absolutely an excellent practical diagram for new users like myself! Thank you
wow. you covered everything all in one video. from the perks of core xt, to not needing all the other junk, to basic setup, to even software setup. i was expecting it to be another day of looking through many videos just to find all info in one, but you nailed it. you also persuaded me to buy the core xt over the commander pro in your other video. well freaking done. your videos are excellent.
this is the most helpful tutorial ever. the way everything is labeled and mapped out makes it easy to learn.
Your video explanation convinced me to try out your method in my new case Corsair AIO upgrade. I have installed a Corsair Hydro iCue H150i LCD CPU cooler with three radiator and three front fans connected to the Commander Core which came with the AIO. As you suggested, I purchased an additional Commander Core XT to control two more fans for exhaust. Additionally, I installed a full Lian Li 24 pin MB and 3x8 pin GPU Strimers connected to the its own controller. I then used the adapter cable you recommended to connect the Strimer Plus RGB to the RGB socket of the Core XT. After following your setup method, it all came together and I now have a fully iCue integrated and controlled lighting system! All the fans have been named and cooling linked to the CPU and case temperature. Immensely pleased with the result. Thank you so much.

Absolute Godsend of a video. Thank you so much for the great detail.
Is the sata power connector from the motherboard or power supply?
Great demonstration. I see a very bright future ahead for this channel. Keep up the good work!

I looking for information on this hub, before I bought it, and your video answered every question I had
I also appreciate your filming style, and video production. I was genuinely suprised that you didn't have at least 100k subscribers (you definetly should)
Thank you for the well presented videos, I'm doing my first custom build and i'm using 12 RBG Corsair fans and 2 commander core XT hubs, this was something I couldn't get my head around, watching your videos have put my mind at ease, so once again thank you for explaining all this in laymans terms.....Your videos are gold!!
This was fantastic and exactly what I needed for my really stressful current build. Thanks.
Love the diagram.
Practical effects FTW.
I love and appreciate your dedication to detail, your visual presentation, and all recommendations you have made. This level of thorough work is very lacking in so many other videos!
Thank you! This is the best RGB/Fan video to date. Super helpful.

Brother you did an amazing job and I fall in love with this device. It simplifies a ton of work for me and I was looking for something like this. Thanks for the review

@@HardwareArtisan After your advice to buy a second Core XT can you please advise on how to set up a 2nd Corsair ICUE Commander XT to run my 3 lighting strips 8 SP RGB Elite fans and 2 ML RGB fans. I cannot see the second Core XT in the ICUE software even though I have all updated software. Your help would be really appreciated. and I am sure there will be others interested in your opinion and steps to integrate both units.
You saved my LIFE hahahaha, been struggling for months with my fans busting on my years, I'm a total noob when it comes to computers, I tried to change de BIOS, fan control, EVERYTHING, then I bought iCUE Commander and watched step by step you doing and I did exactly the same, I feel so proud I successfully installed thanks your very clear and instructive video. Thank you very much.
That's awesome to hear Allan Robson!!! I'm happy you got it working successfully, we were all noob's at one point. I still run into stuff that i'm a noob on.

Thanks Jolly Ollierman!! I'm happy that help! Thanks for watching!!!
Absolutely appreciated the in depth coverage, explanation and guide! Really enjoyed the quality of this video, liked and subscribed!
I did just add 2 new SP120 and SP140 fans to my commander, but they aren't showing up in icue despite updating it to the latest version and moving the connections 1 port down. Will try some troubleshooting tomorrow and hopefully I figure it out!
Thanks for the support and feedback @vipergod2000!!! The SP120 and SP140 should be detected as 8 LED fans without too much trouble. I have on a couple of occasions had to disconnect everything and run through the wizard to let it detect nothing and then connect everything and do it again. If that fails, power off your pc, try physically removing the sata power to the controller, wait a minute and connect it back up. I've had to do that a couple times as well. Let me know what you find on it!!! Good luck and have fun! Thanks again!!
You were right! Ran the wizard again and everything showed up, in good order, despite being 1 port down everything was seamless. You're awesome! Thanks a tonne and all the best! 😊
Great video!!
Thanks Alimony! I'm happy you found it useful!!! Thanks for watching!

Thanks kevinmalesic9430, I appreciate that feedback and i'm happy you found the video helpful, that makes it worth doing!!! Good Luck, have fun!!!
@@HardwareArtisan Best vid for explaining I have seen. Even the Corsair vids on how to set these up is not as good as this vid...LOL I made the switch from the Pro to the XT and never looked back.
Iv bin trying to figure out witch hub to use with my ql120s it can be very confusing but like others have said you answered every question I had and didn't leave me scratching my head like some of the other videos have thanks for your help deffently gonna like and sub
You saved my sanity. I'm a newbie to PC gaming and building. I changed all my fans out to LL120+140 for top, and i know i did it right but it would not read in the Icue app. Just as you said, i had the older 3.0 version of Icue and i tried updating it from the app, would not work. Then went to website like you said and boom, i now see my Commander Core XT. You THE MAN!
Did you have any issues between running 120mm and 140mm fans together on the same device?
@@SavageOutlaw17 no, issues at all
this video help us big time thx u very much
Thanks MClalasky, i'm very happy you found it helpful!! Thanks for watching!
Great vid! I think because of your vid I went to the commander core XT. I went with 3, one for the front fans (4), one for my EK P480mm rad Fans (4), along with a temp sensor. The last one for my EK P360mm rad with a temp sensor to monitor my temps on my Red Devil 7900 xtx.
I like how you labeled all the cables.
I appreciate this, have 9 fans in my build and was unsure on if I needed to buy 1 or 2 and then also confused on how to set it up
Thanks 313aak! I'm happy you found the video helpful!!! Thanks for watching, good luck and have fun with it!!
Late to the party. Splurging on a hardline water build using corsair "stuff". Absolutely love the Science fair layout! Thank you for the video! Cheers!
Hi R1Armadill0, i'm happy you found the video helpful, you are never late to Party, this is all still very relevant today! Thanks for watching and for the support!!!
I Literally spent ages browsing forums trying to figure out why it wasn't showing up in iCue, I spend 13:03 here and I find out I'm not actually running the most recent iCue, I was running legacy, and every time I pressed check for updates it was saying up to date, so I downloaded the most recent and that fixed my issue, thanks a million, I don't blame myself and think i'm dumb, just the software is a little dumb for not even offering to upgrade icue to 4.2+
That's a fantastic and detailed overview of the Corsair IQ Commander Core XT! Thank you for taking the time to explain all the features and connections. It's really helpful for those of us who are considering using this controller.
I have a question regarding the temperature probes. You mentioned that they should be placed in the case to measure ambient air temperature. Could you share any insights or recommendations on the best locations to place these probes for accurate temperature monitoring? Also, have you noticed any significant improvements in fan control and system cooling by using these temperature-based fan curves?
Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and experience with the Commander Core XT!
From what I understand, you can tape the temp sensors to pretty much anything that is in your case, maybe by the front fans, or the exhaust fans, back the case, right on the inside of the I/O panel where the fans are exhausting. Or if you have a custom loop like I do. Even easier, I plugged in a temp sensor for my CPU block and one for my GPU block. Two separate Core XT and one more to control my front fans. Hope that helps?
Great vid :)
Really nice video. i am just curious what devices and how many leds they have when you select manual setup for the 4 pin leds. I would like to know this because i am going to use pirate dog tech adapters so i can connect devices with the MB 3 pin ARGB connector into the commander XT.
This looks really cool! Im thinking of using this to control intake/exhaust fans in my server rack.
I'm wondering if I'd be able to use USB passthrough in my Hypervisor to a Windows VM where I'd install Corsair iCue, then run a sata and USB extension out a pcie slot to the Commander Core XT and connect all my different server rack fans and temp probes.
Does this sound like it could work? Could Noctua fans work with this or would Corsair have better functionality? I dont care about RGB fans but might use a RGB light strip for server rack lighting.
hi could you do a video on the icue 7000x rgb tower case as im having trouble in icue software as it not showing the fan but the fans are running and rgb at corsair set setting i may of missed a wire out i don't know but if you could help that would be great also in the icue software it is showing my card cooling and cpu
I'm building a 2 system / 1 case build in a 1000D. I'm planning on running the PWM controls from the main PC and the icue RGB controls from the secondary PC.
Thank you so much, was getting very confused with all the icue controller hub's and not been able to mix different Corsair SP ,ML, LL fans on one controller?
This controller is the one I need, was getting very confused with the command controller pro and the XT version?
Haven't been following PC building for a few years and planning on a new custom build with SP, ML RGB and H100i platinum XT cooler.
Would be good if Corsair would put more information around these products and compatibility, indepth connectivity as you have shown,Great video 👍.
I have 21 fans and a ton of RGB stuff to attach. what is the best solution to attach all these?
High quality content
Thanks TheDSHeavy!! Appreciate the feedback and thanks for watching!!
hi, i have a question. in my PC i use a commander core xt, a commander pro and 2 lightning n'ose core, how do i sync all the fans in icue ?
The sockets cable are compatibile with Arctic P12 PST ARGB fans? 12 V
The fans I have daisy chain. Could I daisy chain 3 fans then put in one into the controller? 🤔
Do you have another connector splitter off the USB 2.0 connector? What is that for if you know?
is it easy to setup 2 commander core xt's? I need 10 fans to be powered and have rgb so if that is an easy option I'll do that
Planning on running 9 fans, what controllers do you recommend me getting?
I recently built my first pc using the commander core xt. In my bios it’s not showing any fans in the Qfan control. Not sure how to get them to show up
Thank you sir!
Thanks WaveGod540s, thanks for watching!!!
Hi There. Great Video.
My Setup is 11 Fans on a 7000D. £ af140 at the front, 1 at the rear. A H170I LCD with 3 AF140 fans. Finally 4 Af120 in the side Panel.
The AIO comes with a commander core and I have 2 Commander Core XT's available.
The case also comes with a 6 FAN Repeater HUB.
My question is: If I remove the FAN Hub and run the Fans from the Commander core and the XT will they start running at boot up?
Can I use asus sync to control the rgb lights with this?
hello dear, are 28 fan ql posible in icue?
assuming you had the same fans could you daisy chain or use a Y-splitter to get more than 1 in each connector? I have 3 intake fans at the front, 3 exhaust on my rad in the top and one exhaust on the back so I would like to combine 2 of the intake to make it work with one commander XT
Is it possible to enable lights of h series(like h150) with commander core or commander pro?
My commander core came with my Corsair water cooler. It’s doesn’t have the rgb on the end. Only the 6 fan and 6 rgb on the other side
I have 5 fans. I want to add a Corsair RBG led light strip. Can I add it where the last fan would fit?
So you don’t need the rgb fab hub? I’m quite new to this and apparently you need both?
Do you have to use corsair fans or can you use like be quiet fans with the controll boxes?
Can this controller be used for any brand of RGB fan? I have six...three on a Deep Cool AIO and three on the front panel. The three on the front panel are Phanteks.
Any suggestions on what I can do if I only have one USB header on My motherboard and it's being used?
Maybe a bit of a noob question, but will this also work for non-Corsair fans such as Noctua?
I cant get my comander core xt to show up I have tried version 4 and 5 of icue, it sees the ram along with the pump in both and with the two new fans in the mural in version 4, but if I update to version 5 then 2 of my fans stop showing in the mural (these 2 are case fans and not part of the pump)
I have checked all conections and all are properly seated the only thing I have not done is try another usb header as I really dont feel comfortable poking about inside my case to much, I was barely abel to put in the 2 new case fans myself without a panic attack.
is this probly a case of me needing to swap which usb thing the comander xt is pluged into or is it a faulty part ?
Hi there, i do have question can you use lets say 3 to 1 splitter cable and plug it to number one on COMANDER CORE XT? therefor control speed of 3 fans with one setting ? My point is I do have 7 fans in my new build and do not want to buy expensive unit just for one fan. Thank you for any tip.
A bit confused I thought the SP corsair fans aren’t compatible with the Commander Core XT cuz I was thinking about getting the SP120’s with the Commander Core XT.
Pardon the ignorance. As for a liquid cooler fan and pump, they are both plugged directly into the Motherboard or should the fan still be plugged to the controller?
how many commander core xt s are needed for a 14 fan setup? 6 on the aio rad, 8 for case cooling? all corsair products, ML and SP fans
Thank you sir
Thanks you Will Smith!
how do i sync my mother board with my corsair commader core xt ?? i have a ASUS z790-A wifi
i need to use my aura sync or my icue to control all of the lighting
