For someone who's about to build their first pc and is using multiple fans this video is an absolute lifesaver. A thorough yet easy guide that perfectly explains how to set everything up. Thank you!
Im coming from a non RGB build and will upgrade to a new build including rgb fans, I was so confused on how to do this but after watching this video it all makes sense now. thank you sir
I did this to my new pc I built back in 2020 and I tell you that was the hardest part. Putting everything else together was easy. Also takes up so much space inside the case. My case Lian has an area that houses all the cables and its so packed its going to be super hard to replace my power supply eventually. I'm running 10 fans though.
This is brilliant yet again, so much thought and effort goes into your videos. I am about to build my first PC and this is exactly how I will be doing the fan setup. Well done and keep these videos coming.....
@@TheProvokedPrawnshould i use the commander core XT if for example i install 3 120mm fans on front (intake) 1 in the back (exhaust) or the first method with the 3 pack controller (rgb) is easier? Might put radiator near the front on the future too
Hey man thanks for making this video, super helpful and detailed. I'll be building my first pc with 6 LL120 fans in the Corsair 4000d Airflow and your videos have been awesome. Way more efficient and intuitive to watch this than going solely off the manuals and reddit threads.
Corsair REALLY needs to come up with a way to daisy chain their fans together as Lian Li did.. My first build has 10 QL fans, definitely am overwhelmed with the amount of cables I’ve got to try and manage! Along with Lian Li Stimers, luckily I got a 011 XL case but it’s still hard, my last hurdle today is figuring out how I can connect the triple 8 pin Strimer cable through the bottom as there’s no room! Gonna have to move some things around to make it work
@@PerryDaPlatapus it’s actually really simple, I’m surprised it’s taken this long for someone to do it.. Honestly, you’ll still need the hubs! By the way CPU’s are going, we’re going to need 9 fans minimum in every build!
This is Michael. Thank you for taking the time to do this. It is very helpful. Corsair has also done an excellent job by putting together not only the best looking R GB fans, but the hubs and the software to run them, not to mention the great cases. I'm planning a 5000 T build Right now and your video is helpful for establishing how the other fans will work. I plan to use the newer Q L120s because they look better, And will substitute them for the AIO cooler fans as well.
You are the absolute greatest! I’m building with a iCue 5000T RGB Case and your video on that and on this are perfect. Thank you. You gained a big fan today.
I was freaking out because I thought the Sata connector was meant to be connected in the motherboard and I couldn't find it, thanks to your video I realized that it is meant to be connected to the PSU, thanks a lot for the detailed explanation!!
I was having trouble with my Corsair iCUE 4000X RGB case fans. I had plugged everything in and booted, they lit up to their default rainbow but then shut off and were undetectable by iCUE. The solution was to unplug them, boot the PC to iCUE, then hot plug the SATA power connector, then hot plug the USB connector. iCUE then recognized everything. Amazing video and your camera work is great. As well as your voice.
Hi i bought the same case and built it today, but i realized i have only 3 sys fan on my mother board for the 6 fan i have in the case, i thought 2 node core would do it but only for rgb, you think i need sys fan splitter right?
I literally fell as sleep almost by just listening ur voice U have a very soothing voice lmao Other than that great tutorial vid surely helped me fitting my rgb fans
Thank you! you saved me. I bought this like 2019 and today I changed power supply unit and the rgb controller was massed each other. Watched this video and reorganize it and boom. by the way I like your voice man so good.
The biggest and soul issue at the stage is financial. Has stated on another one of your videos I'm looking at the 7000d airflow and I want to light it up with 12 120 fans. I was curious about the USB headers as well as the fan headers and how to balance that out with that many fans. I may have to go over this video again but I think you pretty much covered all the bases. Thank you, sir.
I'm currently running 13 fans in my 5000D, 6 QL connected to a commander core xt (front and side), 3 LL & 3 ML around the h150 capellix's commander core (push pull), 1 LL exhaust, 6 light strips (lighting node pro + rgb hub). Cable managment is quite fun, but has been put on hold as I plan on replacing the LL push rad fans with QL fans. The cool thing about having the ML fans on top (pull) is the RGB lighting coming through the Corsair triangle cutouts of the top panel reflect on the wall, surprisingly nice little touch for now. Always love your videos, so nice and detailed.
Thank you for this great video! I've been wondering how to set up rgb/argb fans and also control the fan speeds. I didnt even know that rgb/argb fans have two cables until I watched thsi vid. More power to your channel!
Thanks for this! My corsair fan kit came with an RGB hub, but I've never used one before. This was a whole new thing for my PC and I wasn't sure what to plug into where. I've been running them without the RGBs for several months now because I couldn't figure out what to do with the hub. Then I finally googled it cause I want the RGB that I paid for. Much appreciated! The one frustrating thing is that my non modular PSU only has a single SATA power cable daisy chained into two connrctors so I either have to put my SSD somewhere on the outside or put my hub in the area with the drive bays and run my RGB cables back there somehow.
@@TheProvokedPrawn it did actually I had 13 fans all together and the cables are an absolute nightmare good thing the 5000D has the shut case thingy or I wouldn't have to throw up by looking at the back haha
Your video helped me immensely. The longer I watched, the more questions I had. However, by end you had answered every question I came with, I thought up as I watched and even some I didnt know I needed answered 😅. Thank you.
Thankyou! I have the corsair h150i elite aio and it was really straight forward but then I bought a 3 pack of LL 120's that came with the little led connector and didn't want to run a bunch of wires to system fan hookups. I'm so glad I can use the hub that came with the corsair aio kit as I already had it setup and cable managed lol. That hub is so much better of a system.
Thank you so much! I was wondering where to connect the SATA power cable from the controller into the power supply (no matter how obvious it sounds) and after countless videos, yours was the one. Thank you
I'll likely not go with RGB fans, but at least now I know about getting a double or triple splitter cable so that I can power all my fans, if I don't have enough headers on my mobo. Thanks!
This is the best video and the only one that gave me the info I needed. The pc I built today was my first with rgb and your video is the only thing that helped me understand I forgot the sata cable for the rbg 😂
Man, I've spent 2 days learning about the nuances of fans and rgb controls, picked my aio/fans twice only to realise something important was out of stock now reluctantly going for corsair lol. I really didn't expect fans/rgb to be the most annoying and confusing part of learning how to build a PC!
When i turn on my pc, it turns on for 1 second then shuts off. If i disconnect the sata cable, then it does work, but fans dont have light. Wtf am i doing wrong? 🤦♂️
Did you try to access the ICUE? Go to the lighting setup and run the wizard, auto detect for compatible fans this was able to get my 3rd 140 mm powered on and lighting up
Bloody hell this looks like a god damn nightmare. I feel substantially more confused. The only thing this video helped me with is knowing to buy a case with nearly all of it's fans preinstalled, which was the case with the Lian Li cases I purchased last year. All I had to do was install the radiator fans up top with was only 2 or 3 cords. But this video definitely helped me knowing what I want to avoid. I was literally minutes away from ordering 3 dozen Corsair cases that did not have fans included for our new offices. And I was searching for buying Corsair fan packs in bulk to install them all. I am going to be taking extra time tonight to find a different company. Mate you helped me dodge a massive bullet, I cannot thank you enough, big thumbs up, cheers!!!!!!
Bro, honestly, this was anxiety for me since this is my first build iv done, I had super anxiety about the usb placement, I was asking if you could daisy chain usb's and no one got what I ment, and I know you can have usb overdraw which wont allows ur computer to post if that is an issue, but this is exactly, EXACTLY, the issue I was having on whether you were allowed to daisey chain the 2 usbs together. Thank you for clearing this up. FYI 11 fans are a hassle...... get a big case guys, you will save urself alot of headaches....but the case you have at the beginning is the exact case I have right now besides the 4 fans at the front, I have 3 140's instead of 4 120's. However I think I took on to much because I also got Lian Li strimer kits for both gpu and motherboard so that is also an extra box as well...... ugh
Thanks for this video. I plan on doing 13 Corsair fans in my 5000D build. Should I use 2 commander cores and a rgb hub or is there a better way to run the 13th fan?
Dude thank you so much for this video it was so informative and cleared up all of the questions and worries I had about installung these fans in my first build. Im an electrician so Im no stranger to cable management but this is my first pc build and this essentially answered my question about its SATA connection (I was afraid id have to order another sata cord but my psu comes with enough necessary sata connections to pull it off)
Nice vid just subbed! Currently got 6 added fans and the 3 that comes with the 5000x case. My 3 fans work but i cant adjust the speed or rgb. Had mine built by someone so im trying to learn it all from scratch.
This is the 3rd video I've watched and so far yours is the best and detailed. I have a Micro ATX motherboard and im only seeing 3 system fans on it but I have 5 fans... Anything i can do?
Hey man, so i my case already has a built in fan hub, but i’m honestly so lost with it in the manual, and what i wanted to ask is can you connect both 4 pin and 3 pins fans to the command core xt? then you connect it to a 4 pin fan header, because i read that if you connect it it to a 12v fan header and your fan is 5v it will ruin your fan. Once again love your videos they’re very informative!
My new Corsair AIO came bundled with the Commander Core. I have 6 total Corsair fans going into my system (3 from the AIO and the other three an LL120 Triple pack) I only need to use this Commander Core for this build? Also, what the heck is the difference between the Commander Core and the Commander Core XT? I have an old Commander Pro AND the RGB hub from the previous build. Do I just not need them anymore since the new AIO came with Commander Core? Also, do a video on how to neatly cable manage all of these 😂😂😂
Excellent video - Lot of wires now when you add lot of fans in to system now. Did build on lower spec I7 g4 with just 3 Fans recently. The next Computer will build probably be a big one - (Main PC), likely to use I7 G12+ CPU, Asus Z790 board, so Will a 5 Fan Solution be a good solution. I probably buy a Corsair 400D Case, Corsair, 850W Power supply (min) and probably use the two provided case Fans for top / Back but Buy the DeepCool FC120 3IN1 Case for the Front of the case
Hi, I'm curious. Let's say that a mid range mobo only has one or two argb header, my question is, how many argb fans can you connect to a single header if you have limited amount of them. Of course, all of them are connected to a hub. Same goes for the fans, how many of them can you connect to a single header since some of them are 1 or 2A headers
I have a commander pro but my USB 2.0 won't split. If I use the additional USB HUB on it, it won't work. I read that it might be the fact my MB has an ASMEDIA controller. Do you have any advice?
@@PerryDaPlatapus hey, I was thinking about getting one of those. Can I connect my Commander PRO and Commander CORE to the NZXT Internal USB 2.0 HUB? Thanks
Thank you for this helpful video, it helped me a lot, but I have a questions. I can't find any references or documentations on the "PWM Fan Hub" that comes with the case "CorsAir 7000D Airflow". My questions is; the cable that is labeled "PWM" from that Fan Hub ,is it getting connected to the MB Chassis fan and which one? I have a ASUS ProArt X670E. Thank you so much.
Hi, I have bought 4 corsair fans and attached them all as above with the splitters etc. Only one out of 4 is displaying RGB colours and I am confused as to why. They are the same fans - boought one 3 pack and one separate fan. That one separate fan works but the three pack ones are not. They are spinning just not lighting up, any idea why? Appreciate the help!
First time building a PC; bought corsair 7000D and I was wondering what that cable was 4:47 and where it plugs into. I was beginning to panic because the booklet that came with the tower didn't explain the power connection of that circuit board and online forums are hostile to new people. I would have been lost all day had I not watched this, turns out the cable I needed wasn't included with neither the tower nor the motherboard- it comes with the power supply. 🙃
Not sure why this is hard for some people. If you buy the commander core or the XT, each can take 6 fans w/RGB. I don't use those tiny splitters that corsair gives you and I only use Corsair fans with the commander core/XT for maximum compatibility. Also, you can customize the RGB so it does not matter what channel (1-6) that you plug it into.
This handy, but wondering about when you have the ROG Fan Controller box too and then Corsair's AIO cooling. If that can be plugged into the ASUS Controller or need both.
Wait so if I have 3 fans that come with my antec case and a 3 Corsair fan pack, can I use the hub for all of them?? That would be so convenient 😭. I’m starting my first Pc build on Wednesday and I’m nervous!

Seasonic have released daisy chain-able wireless fans (1 wire into 1st fan, then daisy chain next 1-2 if connected).
Super cool.
@@PerryDaPlatapus they could make a lot more if they make daisy chain like lian li

This is excatly what i needed. Been stuck trying to understand, anyway big ups🙌
Glad it helped!
can i use the hub with other fans? (not corsair ones)
Thank you so much for this video. This was the most helpful video ive come across regarding plugging cables in
I aim to please. Hope you enjoyed enough to subscribe 🦐
great tutorial and a great job converting tech to understandable language
Thank you. Glad you thought so
Thanks for this video. I plan on doing 13 Corsair fans in my 5000D build. Should I use 2 commander cores and a rgb hub or is there a better way to run the 13th fan?
What cooler are you using? Two commander cores is easiest but if you're getting an Elite Capellix cooler then there's one with that
@@TheProvokedPrawn I’m getting a Corsair H150i Elite LCD so that’ll be three of the fans.
This was awesome, its really going to help me with my Corsair 5000X build.
Watch this too ruclips.net/video/Aha7D5-ilQE/видео.html
14:16. One of the reason I ditched full ATX builds for ITX.
Dude thank you so much for this video it was so informative and cleared up all of the questions and worries I had about installung these fans in my first build. Im an electrician so Im no stranger to cable management but this is my first pc build and this essentially answered my question about its SATA connection (I was afraid id have to order another sata cord but my psu comes with enough necessary sata connections to pull it off)
👍 glad to help
Nice vid just subbed! Currently got 6 added fans and the 3 that comes with the 5000x case. My 3 fans work but i cant adjust the speed or rgb. Had mine built by someone so im trying to learn it all from scratch.
This is the 3rd video I've watched and so far yours is the best and detailed. I have a Micro ATX motherboard and im only seeing 3 system fans on it but I have 5 fans... Anything i can do?
You will need splitter cables or a Commander Core
Thank you for your Videos. they are so helpful. Can you also do a video about setting CPU Fan in Bios please?!
ahh finally now this is the better way to explain GJ👍🏻👍🏻
Great vid! Finally remembered to subscribe ;)
Thanks!
So what would you recommend to run 13 fans RGB/PWM?
thank you so much for explain easily and by one by
Glad to help. Hope you enjoyed enough to sub
Absolutely love this video. Thanks a lot for sharing 🎉
This is a really well done and thought out video.
Many thanks. I try to do this with all my videos, sub for more! 🦐
Hey man, so i my case already has a built in fan hub, but i’m honestly so lost with it in the manual, and what i wanted to ask is can you connect both 4 pin and 3 pins fans to the command core xt? then you connect it to a 4 pin fan header, because i read that if you connect it it to a 12v fan header and your fan is 5v it will ruin your fan. Once again love your videos they’re very informative!
My new Corsair AIO came bundled with the Commander Core. I have 6 total Corsair fans going into my system (3 from the AIO and the other three an LL120 Triple pack)
I only need to use this Commander Core for this build? Also, what the heck is the difference between the Commander Core and the Commander Core XT?
I have an old Commander Pro AND the RGB hub from the previous build. Do I just not need them anymore since the new AIO came with Commander Core?
Also, do a video on how to neatly cable manage all of these 😂😂😂
The moment I heard your name I laughed so hard. I love it
Like always great, useful and helpful content. Hats off. 🍻
Thank you.
I REALLY needed this video, thank you!
You're so welcome! Return the favour by subscribing :)
@@TheProvokedPrawn Already did! I'm binge watching your videos, right now. Great stuff 👍👊.
@@SofaKingA Appreciate you
Great video! Thanks for your hard work!
Excellent video - Lot of wires now when you add lot of fans in to system now. Did build on lower spec I7 g4 with just 3 Fans recently. The next Computer will build probably be a big one - (Main PC), likely to use I7 G12+ CPU, Asus Z790 board, so Will a 5 Fan Solution be a good solution. I probably buy a Corsair 400D Case, Corsair, 850W Power supply (min) and probably use the two provided case Fans for top / Back but Buy the DeepCool FC120 3IN1 Case for the Front of the case
Very easy to understand. Thank you.

Thank you very much, this helped me alot
Glad it helped! Hope you enjoyed enough to subscribe 🦐
This is brilliant, thank you for taking the time to do this! 6 fans, no problem! Does the icue lcd hook up to the controller core as well?
I've done a video on that too ruclips.net/video/z0jDMVooE38/видео.html
Interesting and informative video as always. Thanks for sharing!…
Glad to help
thank you this is life saving
You're very welcome :) Hope you enjoyed enough to sub!
Hi, I'm curious. Let's say that a mid range mobo only has one or two argb header, my question is, how many argb fans can you connect to a single header if you have limited amount of them. Of course, all of them are connected to a hub. Same goes for the fans, how many of them can you connect to a single header since some of them are 1 or 2A headers
After this vid i feel like ive known how to wire fans my whole life
glad to help :)
I have a commander pro but my USB 2.0 won't split. If I use the additional USB HUB on it, it won't work. I read that it might be the fact my MB has an ASMEDIA controller. Do you have any advice?
@@PerryDaPlatapus I have a similar one. The point is that they don't work. I can't split the USB into more than the 2 on the motherboard.
@@PerryDaPlatapus What USB 2.0 controller did you use on your motherboards? If you don't know, you aren't helping.
@@PerryDaPlatapus It was not helpful.
@@PerryDaPlatapus hey, I was thinking about getting one of those. Can I connect my Commander PRO and Commander CORE to the NZXT Internal USB 2.0 HUB? Thanks
@@PerryDaPlatapus thank you!
Thank you for this helpful video, it helped me a lot, but I have a questions. I can't find any references or documentations on the "PWM Fan Hub" that comes with the case "CorsAir 7000D Airflow". My questions is; the cable that is labeled "PWM" from that Fan Hub ,is it getting connected to the MB Chassis fan and which one? I have a ASUS ProArt X670E.
Thank you so much.
Hi, I have bought 4 corsair fans and attached them all as above with the splitters etc. Only one out of 4 is displaying RGB colours and I am confused as to why. They are the same fans - boought one 3 pack and one separate fan. That one separate fan works but the three pack ones are not. They are spinning just not lighting up, any idea why? Appreciate the help!
This part is more complicated then me building the pC with a fully modular PSU
First time building a PC; bought corsair 7000D and I was wondering what that cable was 4:47 and where it plugs into. I was beginning to panic because the booklet that came with the tower didn't explain the power connection of that circuit board and online forums are hostile to new people. I would have been lost all day had I not watched this, turns out the cable I needed wasn't included with neither the tower nor the motherboard- it comes with the power supply. 🙃
Not sure why this is hard for some people. If you buy the commander core or the XT, each can take 6 fans w/RGB. I don't use those tiny splitters that corsair gives you and I only use Corsair fans with the commander core/XT for maximum compatibility. Also, you can customize the RGB so it does not matter what channel (1-6) that you plug it into.
What's wrong with the splitters? I'm hooking up 6 fans now....is the commander really required?
It's difficult because I want to wire 10 fans, not 6.
Corsair fans are nice, but if you are new to pc building and want a smooth and easy first experience, I would highly recommend Lian Li fans.
so as long as you have enough usb header support, you can just keep adding Commander Cores, plug the fans in and good to go?
Very helpful, thanks!
This handy, but wondering about when you have the ROG Fan Controller box too and then Corsair's AIO cooling. If that can be plugged into the ASUS Controller or need both.
I’m setting up six Corsair RGB fans now. How do I know what direction the fans turn? For example if I want air coming in or going out.
This night help ruclips.net/video/uPIMv30Vs3w/видео.html
Wait so if I have 3 fans that come with my antec case and a 3 Corsair fan pack, can I use the hub for all of them?? That would be so convenient 😭. I’m starting my first Pc build on Wednesday and I’m nervous!
Wishing that corsair copies the system of the lian li fans so that several can be connected with only 2 cables.
