- For those of you who wanted more out of the SP RGB fans and thought the HD RGB fans were a little too harsh, the new Light Loop RGB fans will spin you in all the right ways! Probably... There's a lot of RGB going on right now.

Great vid! You, linus, and jayz keep making me want hardware I can't afford.
Thanks! And sorry about that! I try to include a lot of capable budget options if I can get my hands on them!
The RGB always shines brighter on the expensive side of hardware.
A tech channel based entirely on puns? Love it. Subscribed.
+Wytch Thanks, glad to hear it!
At 7:35 when I talk about pricing, I was referring to MSRP. It's occurred to me that the Corsair Node Pro is often on Amazon for $50 USD, so keep an eye out for that!
These are much better in terms of performance and lighting modes. Also, the TT units make you hook up a box to each fan, so cable managing them kinda sucks. The TT are like $40 cheaper for a set of three, though.
+darwis lim My graphs are in the video, and you can find another video linking to Thermaltake's effects in one of the cards!
… and singles make sense if you already have a Commander and just want to add single fans
Toby Robson you can't just buy single tho since you need the box that the leds connect to then it connects with the Commander Pro.
Sure you can. www.amazon.com/Corsair-ll120-Single-Cooling-CO-9050071-WW/dp/B075VDGSJ8/
Also on the corsair site. Just select it in the dropdown menu
That’s *lit* , I’m a *fan*
+Teh Nub You got the idea ;)
@@ALittleDIMM get outta here you two, no joke. I was enlightened by this vid. A++
I've been saving up for the HD fans... but NOW... LL's for the entire case... those are sick looking!
They are! I'd love to see the build when it's done!
Once I get the fans and the commander installed I will send you some pics, the case is the 570x, I love this case!
These fans are beautiful... Loving the ring too
They look real great!
These are by far the best looking rgb fans I've seen so far. I don't see myself upgrading from my 6 sp120s though that would be a hefty price. Do you know when they are releasing their next gen hydro series?
The fans look awesome! Though, the SP fans are also very capable! Unfortunately, I have no information on the Hydro series coolers, I don't think the representatives I speak to are allowed to reveal those details yet, but I do plan on reviewing them when the time comes!
I just had to subscribe. Your fan jokes blew me away.
These jokes really...blew the air out of me.
;)
These new fans are a breath of fresh air. Also, it would be great if I could remove the light from the middle of the fan and just have the outer ring on. That way I don't have to switch out my Corsair controller for NZXT's Hue + for their nice outer ring fans.
+Robot ism They might add support for that someday, but no promises!
Well, with some of the modes, you can black the inner ring so only the outer works, right now. It shouldn't be hard for Corsair to implement a static mode that shuts off the inner or outer ring altogether. The limits of these fans are pretty much up to Corsair and how they want to program Link. They COULD do individual LED programming on each fan if they worked hard enough at the software.
Bought 6 of them. My room is a Disco now.
Why don't you have more subs? I have watched you since the start and you have become one of my favorite reviewers.
Just takes time, I guess! Thanks for sticking around, glad you're enjoying the ride!
Damn, you released the video exact minute Corsair itself did too. Was this planned?
Mr. Fallout's got it! When these fans were provided to me, I was under embargo, which means I'm not allowed to talk about it or reveal details regarding the product until a certain date and time!
Ah figured, but damn the timing was defintly very precise :P
Scheduled upload! I was asleep when it went live, LOL.
The embargo was 6AM, so Corsair and him both hit at the same time, along with me. :D
+Sean Sinha Embargo was 9:00 am EDT for me!
Just found your channel this week. I appreciate the production quality and value. Also, your setup in the background rocks balls! You earned a sub with ad blocker off! ;)
+Dominic Chase Aw, thanks, I appreciate it!
Thermaltake Ring fans looked better IMO, HD120 and SP120 RGB are already bosses.
+sn0wiron The Riing fans do look pretty nice!
Maybe it's just me who didn't really like ring fans. but thermaltake fans are pretty cool anyway.
I have the SP 120s, so maybe I'm just hating. It seems for a ring design, the Thermal take delivers a nicer lighting effect.
+Stalewind Farto1078 I like Thermaltake's effects a lot! I just wish their transitions were a bit smoother...
But no Thermaltake in corsair link
TT has other software issues as well. That said, I would replace my SPs with the HDs not the LLs. The LLs look like a cross between the NZXT fans and Corsairs own SP 120s, and that is not something I like. The ring also give the fans a doughnut effect that lacks visual appeal to me (highly subjective!). TT fans are good looking, but so are the HD 120s, and as you said, Corsair link can be used with these making them my choice over the new LL 120 ring fans when I pull the old SP 120s.
I've been planning to build a rgb cpu. One of the things I've been having a hard time deciding is whether to get tt riing plus or corsair hd and now included corsair ll. You got great reviews on them but you miss one thing. Please make a video comparing their lighting designs side by side. So it can help us see and decide which has better lighting designs. Thnx!
I have a video where I go through all of their effects (using the same camera settings with no effects applied in post)! Putting them side by side might be a little tough, though. I'd need one or two computers to run each of their RGB software simultaneously, which means I'd need internal USB hubs for one or both machines, the cables would drive me insane, and then to get all the fans to fit in the camera frame, they'd have to be relatively close, and then I'd need to worry about the lighting from one fan conflicting with the lighting from another. If there's a huge demand for it, I'll look into trying it out, but otherwise, it's a lot of organization and preparation that I think is better represented one fan at a time, as to not overwhelm a viewer.
This fan is lit, I'll probably get them for my radiator to look rad.
+Amber57499 They're a pretty good option if you want something that looks real cool ;)
Thank you for this review! Your video really helped me decide on which case fan would be the better choice. Despite the cool look of the LL series I am going to pick the HD series instead. More power to you!
+MuspellTV Happy to help, thanks for watching!
The reason why I'm getting a pair of these is because I wanted to have a pink/purple ring around turquoise blades. I was planning on buying the NZXT fans, and spray painting the blades turquoise, using the LL120s will save on some time by having the inside LEDs set to turquoise while setting the outer LEDs to pink. The HD120s can't do that. Plus I hear various bad things about CAM software that NZXT forces people to use.
+asdasda2355 Both fans look really nice, but I will admit, my experience with Corsair's software has been much smoother than my experience with CAM!
First LL fan review nice
I hope it covered everything!
Anything relevant and necessary! what about testing at 40dba at about 1m-1.5m distance? if you use all fans at 40 dba, you can see which fan performs most efficiently at fairly silent operation.
+joris yauw I don't have a proper sound meter yet, but the fans are really quiet compared to every other fan I've ever tested! The microphone was three or four inches away from the fans in this video!
No need for a proper sound meter, it's just a factor of consistency, if you use the one you use now and keep the bar around the same level it should be fine :D either way, a sound meter will probably set you back around $15-25 but will increase reliability by a lot!
Dude, you're by far the most entertaining tech youtuber. I love your videos! You deserve way more subs :)
+Own3R49 Thanks! I'm trying my best!
Thank you. I was looking for some silent rgb fans.
Love your channels methodology! Keep it up!
+zgo280 Thanks, I plan on it!
6:18 Highly appreciate the warning, my ears thank you.
MAAAAN, These are nice. If it wasn't for the fact that I own NZXT aero fans, I would've gotten these.
+Mr_Spring_Roll The NZXT AER RGB fans look really nice, too!
I don't have any issues with it so far. In my fractal r4 case i have a 120 aero as an exhaust, and attached to the top is the radiator for my nzxt x52 with aero rgb fans. So far, no rattling. Maybe you need to screw them in a bit tighter or actually even loosen them a bit more. I've noticed that sometimes rattling happens because one corner of the fan is screwed in to tightly. If the fan makes odd noise when its outside of the case, you could contact nzxt support, they're pretty fast in responding. Use their discord.
Oh, your sticker on the back is coming up where the cables come out, too. :D
I've seen 2 of your videos so far.
I still don't understand why you only have 12K subscribers so far...
Also, your horrible puns are 'fan'tastic.
I'm told I'm not very good at self-promotion! But I'm glad you found me, thanks for watching!
Huge fan of your vids bro, very descriptive and helpful...Love the sly jokes
Thanks, I try my best!
Great video. I'm thinking about upgrading my case & cooling system. Currently have some low-grade case, a Corsair H60, and some blue LED fans. I'm thinking about getting an NZXT 340S Elite case, a Corsair H115i, and my final decision is what fans I want to get... Part of me says go with the Kraken instead of the H115s and get the NZXT fans to keep the entire thing NZXT, but on the other hand I already have a Corsair CS850M and Corsair Vengeance 16GB DDR in my build. I like the Corsair lighting better than the NZXT, but having to get a Commander and still use the Node irritates me.
You don't necessarily need the Commander, but it certainly helps. My personal approach to building computers is to do what looks good and worry about the mess later (software, cables, and all!), so I'm not sure if that helps you any! I use a handful of different software solutions to coordinate my lighting, and it is a pain in the ass, but I feel like the aesthetic result is worth it!
Great video as always man! Keep em coming~ On the topic of unicorn puke fans, could you do a DeepCool RF120 fan review next? Theyre pretty cheap at RM140-170 which equates to 33-40 USD for a 3 pack.
+Azrie Hazwan Salehodin I will reach out to DeepCool and ask! No promises, though!
Can you mix and match HD SP and LL together also which ones do you think are the best for a radiator and which ones do you prefer overall?
You can have them mixed in a system, but they cannot share the same lighting hub, so each type of fan will require its own channel. In my testing, the HD fans seem to be a little better for radiators, but I prefer the LL fans because I like their appearance more. The slight performance hit is worth the aesthetic gain in my opinion.
ALittleDIMM Awesome! Thanks for the swift reply my day just got ALittleBrighter :p
I'm planning on buying the H100i RGB Platinum. But I want to buy RGB fans to pair with the fans on this AIO (as in: connecting RGB effects in iCue like you see in all those nice builds).
I need one airflow optimized fan for the front (as I am going to mount the AIO radiator and the (included) ML120 RGB fans to the front) and two airflow optimized fans for the back of my case (one in the rear and one on top).
As I only have space for one 120mm fan on the top of my case, I want one fan there and I can not mount my AIO radiator there. That's why I'm going to mount the radiator in the front.
As the ML120 PRO RGB fans are static pressure fans (so optimized for radiators and tight spaces, only applicable for me for the AIO radiator itself) I need in total 3 airflow optimized RGB corsair fans that will match the ML120's on the H100i RGB Platinum.
Because I need airflow optimized fans, I do not want to buy more ML120's as they're static pressure fans.
Any suggestions on airflow optimized RGB fans that'll match the ML120's on my H100i RGB Platinum?
I know Corsair has their AF line-up of airflow fans, but they're not RGB.
I do not know what the LL series do? Are they airflow fans? Or static pressure?
Does it matter if I would mount the static pressure ML120 fans as exhaust fans? Or doesn't it matter THAT much because the ML120's have better performance then the LL120's?
Should I go for the LL120 RGB fans? Or something else?
Also, if I would f.a. buy the H100i RGB Platinum and 3 LL (or ML) fans with a lighting hub/lighting node pro. Do I have to plug the ML fans of the H100i into that hub along with the other 3 fans?
Or do they connect seperately into the H100i and can I choose whatever fans I want as they have their own hub? (I've read on some compatibility issue between different fan types and their hubs).
I could not find anything about the airflow/static pressure subject on these two fans. I already know that the LL fans have worse performance but look better but hen again, the ML fans are for radiators and are the LL fans meant for cases and are they good enough?
All in all, a whole story. If you read this far, I appreciate it and if you would help me decide, you'd help me even more! Thank you in advance!
Very detailed information, subbed :)
+dioclias Thank you!
They look sick, are you going to switch out your hd120s for them?
+Lucky I'd like to, but I would need three more first! Also, I need them for another upcoming project ;)
Oolala :o
Subscribed, these fans be making their way into my build
Nice! They look great, you won't regret it!
ALittleDIMM Thank you for being my new favorite TH-cam channel :)
I love this guy's personality, subscribed
Aw, thanks
Like the fact that you are constantly smiling too my guy
good review as always pal
+nam Alexander Thank you!
wow the video looks great nice cam and fans fat thumbs up
Thanks!
Dude this was awesome and pretty funny. Thanks!
+jrspringston Glad you think so, thanks for watching!
These are nice and I was very temped to overhaul my currect 6 HD120 until I noticed the Ring face 1 direction. Thats why I didnt get the NZXT. The HD looks beautiful no matter what direction you orientate them. BTW thanx @ALittleDIMM as always. I really do enjoy watching your videos even if I have no interest in the product itself. Guess that means youre doing something right lol.
Thanks for watching, I appreciate the support! Glad I could help!
Yea I commend your effort. Im tempted to get into entertainment business myself. Maybe streaming or rapping. Oh and U influenced me to add "more" to my build. I have a 5" screen and next is a Acrylic Panel.
+YaKillaCJ I've been thinking of doing a video on adding a tiny display to be put inside a case! Just haven't had the time...
If they cooled better with that beautiful look than they’d be an instant buy for me, I’ll just stick with the HD’s for now
Your videos are fantastic. Thank you.
+Jonathan Dellaripa Thanks for watching!
Quality content, keep up the good work! I will buy these for my next build. Cheers from Finland.
Ps, subbed!
Thanks, glad you liked the video!
ZombieGoesBoom Hommasitko
En vielä! seuraavaan buildiin aivan varmasti!
ZombieGoesBoom Ite hankin tossa toissapäivänä ja ku on valot pois niin ei helvetti toi näyttää hyvältä jos on esim etu- ja sivupaneeli lasia. Paranti setupin ulkonäköä sen 20% minimissään 👌
Honestly my ideal fan is the aer RGB rim with the SP RGB fan blades.
Cuz that overlay marque effect.
That would be pretty nice! Would love to see more designs hit the market!
My current setup is the corsair crystal 460x with six sp 120 rgb fans with that being said when I decide to upgrade I’ll take the leap. I’m sure the next corsair crystal case might come with them as stock and I can add another 3 pack combo to seal the deal.
Corsair also has a sweet AIO cpu Cooler up for release soon would make for a sweet setup!
Yes! I'm looking forward to that cooler!
It'd be nice to see some effort made to fans in pull mode given the price point
Yeah, more attention to the exhaust end of the fan would be nice. It seems to be a problem for a lot of the RGB models, unfortunately!
Wish I had seen this video before buying three Corsair ML 140mm Rgb Pro. The ones on your video seem significantly quieter than the ML Rgb Pro at a mere 850rpms.
You deserve more subs man.. btw great vid Lol
Thank you!
What? Corsair STILL hasnt implemented music sync? Ffs, ppl on linux have programmed that by themselves. Why cant you, Corsair? Also, MSI Mystic and Aura RGB, AsRock and Gigabyte all have music sync built in.
Thanks for the review, Mr. Dimm XP
Maybe they have plans for it soon! I'm sure it's one of the more requested features of their RGB suite! And thanks for watching!
Well yeah, but that has been a request ever since Corsair released their K70 RGB keyboard a few years back. Already back then, people wrote their own software to enable music-sync with their keyboards. That is why I don't know why Corsair doesn't have this as default on their new software.
Another video from ALittleDim, HELL YEAH! :D
I recently bought the Thermaltake View 71 TG case, and I am looking into watercooling. I'll need 10 fans (3 120mm, 7 140mm). I like diffusers, so the light isn't harsh. I was looking into the Thermaltake Riing fans first, but these seem interesting too. Which one would you pick?
You don't need that many fans. I have the Core X71 and only use 8 fans.
+Zombysz I personally value smoother animations over more effects. Thermaltake offers individually lit LEDs and some interesting lighting patterns, but I would definitely go for the Corsair LL fans due to their animation execution.
awesome reviews man ggs
Thanks, I try my best!
Nice... more Money goes into my PC. ^^
Great Video!
+Icefly Thanks! PC best money-sink!
Well I just finished putting my new loop together a few days ago with 12 HD120 and 1 HD140. And there I was complaining about the lack of effects choices and they bring those out. Now that's a hard blow... :(
+Sébastien Clavet The HD fans still look and perform very well!
Hi Mate, I really love your vids... you actually get a very thorough explanation of the products, keep up the good work.
Excuse my ignorance I'm a complete amateur but just have a few questions if you could possibly help out...
My case is a Corsair Carbide 540 white
1). noticed this week while trying to decide what to get and maybe Ive missed them before but there's a corsair ML series that are a bit more expensive... whats the difference between them and the LL ones?
2). Planning to buy an h115i cooler or the h110i much difference and what is better do you think? also buying 3x120mm & 1x140mm fans as well as a lighting node pro. - Do I need a commander controller to run all these or can I just use the node controllers they come with? however the single 140 doesn't come with one. I'll only be using one of the ports for the led strip as I'm just going to chain them all together.. so can I plug the 140 fan into the spare port on the strip node port? What is the benefit of the commander as opposed to separate nodes apart from looking a bit messier.
Sorry for the 20 questions and many thanks for any help,.Cheers.
+BooDeluxe Fashion Store Hello!
1: The Corsair ML series fans use Magnetic Levitation bearings. This makes them really quiet compared to other fans. I haven't gotten the chance to play with them, so I can't necessarily day if it's worth it or not, though.
2: The H110i and H115i are incredibly similar in terms of performance. I would go for whatever you can find for cheaper. You can run up to five of the same type of fan on one channel so the Node they come with will be fine for those fans and up to four LED strips. As for the rest of your questions regarding the Commander Pro, I have a separate video on that ;)
Awesome video editing
fan-tastic video :) quick question what monitos do you have set up currently and what mounts are you using?

+FreedomFallout But at least it will be glorious!
As well as bankruptcy
review the thermaltake riing trio fans pls lmao they’re both kind of the same lighting now but thermaltake has the rgb on both sides
Very nice. Does the fan rattle? Thanks.
Still preffer my AER RGB, this Corsair one are really sick
NZXT's still look really good! Just installed the AER RGB fans in a system the other day!
Man i really love your voice
Thanks! Glad to hear it, 'cause I've only got the one!
So this is our secret new Corsair product hiding by the desk.
+Caleb Lyndaker ;)
Tbh, they are the best good looking Corsair fans out there. But temps are important, so HD RGB are still the ones on the aim
The fans look really nice! Temperatures are acceptable, but it's a bit of a bummer they're not at least on par with Corsair's older fans. Though, my testing isn't perfect, and I can't say with 100% confidence that my data is correct!
Time for Noctua to copy the Aigo RGB ring design. Would be *rad* to have Noctua RGB fans in my watercooled PC.
I see what you did there ;)
Good video! Thank you.
+skygunner27 Thanks for watching!
Those fans are pretty cool!
I got the SP120 RGB and 570X case, which kind of cut down the cost of the fans for me since the controller for them is included in the case. I got 6 of the fans plugged into the NZXT Grid+ V2.... I just absolutely love the way the SP120 RGB look, with the LEDs in the middle. The fans kind of remind me of HAL 9000, which is why i dubbed my PC "Crystal Hal".
What kind of makes the LL fans unattractive to me is the fact that I'd have to get the commander or the Node for them to work. The Commander is somewhat attractive since I have an H100i GTX and AX860i, that would kind of make it easier for me to get rid of cable clutter but then again, I'm gonna be switching to the NZXT Kraken X52 soon...
I'd love to get the LL fans, but the cost of switching would just be too high and it probably would kind of make my Grid+ V2 obsolete... Plus yeah visuals are more important to me than 1 or 2 °c but I'd love to have a more pressure oriented version of those...
Oh yeah and price. Around $200 USD for a bit more LED and slightly less cooling performance compared to my current SP120 fans... I think I'll pass for now. Maybe I'll switch sometime later down the road but for now, nah thanks.
I keep my Kraken cooler plugged into my Commander Pro! As someone who's got his case stuffed with a lot of everything, the Commander Pro is really nice to have around (though, cables are a nightmare when you combine it with Corsair's fans). But yes, the Commander Pro would replace your Grid+ fan controller, since it's got one built into itself, and it would definitely be a costly replacement. The SP fans are great, no need to swap unless you really like that outer ring!
I get what you mean. So much stuff having cables nowadays. I mean we're at a point where even PSUs can come with their own dongle and USB cable.
It's pretty ridiculous! I'm really excited about NZXT's H700i and the cable channels it's got in the back. I'd love to see how those help out there!
Hey! First of all, awesome videos! Secondly, do you have any recommendations for cable management? There are sooo many, and it’s becoming a nightmare for six fans! I’m worried about the back cover fitting right. We also are concerned about the hub placement, do most people try to place this in the back? Anyway any feedback would be appreciated! Thanks!
I've got a video on cable management, though, it's a bit older! For managing all these fans and LED strips, it can be a bit tougher. I've gotten lazy to the point where stuffing things in the basement is my go-to, but if that's not an option, the Commander Pro, Node Pro, and the lighting hub for the fans can all fit between the motherboard tray and the rear panel (for all the cases I've worked in, at least), but cable routing will be tougher, since you can't really move cables over them (potential clearance issues). I'd recommend placing the hubs somewhere close to the middle of the motherboard tray if possible, since having fans in the front and back of your case may limit your options due to cable length. Aside from that, I'd just try to plan things out and use twist ties to help hold things in place. Good luck!
Nice video and still waiting for Set me Up :p
+TryToKillMyRiven Still trying to catch up with work, but I'm working on it!
The triple pack was at $35 3 days ago and I missed out :(
thank you for this awesome video!
Thanks for watching!
Still going to use them with my h100i v2
They look good, I'd do it, too!
So frustrating, really wanted rings but wanted the Corsair fans so settled for the hd 140...so gutted😭
The HD fans are still really good, though!
looks like it's time to change my parts list for the billionth time
All part of the fun! I think...
I personally prefer the hds look over these, the hds are so bright and smooth with the lighting.
The HDs are a really nice option, if you've already got them, you're in a good spot!
I have HD120's in my 460x. I do like the look of these fans, but I don't think I'll switch as I'm heavily invested with the HD's. Also my system is warm, so I'd rather have better performance than looks.
Fair enough! No need to switch off the HD fans unless you really like this look!
Those fans are brighter than my future.
Even if your future is half as bright, I still see success coming your way!
Beautiful. Can you put inside a pre built system ?
+Nick tan As long as the case supports 120 or 140mm fans, yes!
What about Aurora R7 ?
+Nick tan I'm not certain that case has a clear panel to see the fans, in which case, I suggest going for fans focused purely on performance, like a good set of Noctuas or Corsair ML fans
ALittleDIMM it's fine because I want to open the case free view
Nice!!! Can we turn off the center LED and let only the ring on??? Great video :)
+Bruno Amaro No, the LEDs are not individually addressable! Not yet, at least...
It looked like you could set the inner ring to it's own colour so you could just set it to black.
Oh man....I got the SP120, wich are pre installed in the 570X, but have no PWM. Then I got myself the HD120, wich are a bit too shiny for me though, but have PWM and a lot of options.
Making the ring and center LEDs individually adressable would have been the thing for me. Damn you Corsair...
Can you at least turn them completely off?
SPs and HDs dont give that option.
No there's no way to turn off just the inner ring... There is 1 or 2 modes where you can make the inner rings a different color i than the outter ring but sadly static is not one of them, the only ones that let you choose are like the visor or heartbeat where the lights are moving
Subbed for more punny jokes! RGB is love. Did you see the corsair RGB headset stand???
Yes! I am expecting one to arrive, but there appear to be some shipment issues! I'll be reviewing it when it finally reaches my grubby hands!
$100 for two 140's and the commander pro vs $60-70 for two ML140 pro LEDs. Waiting for sales, very possibly worth it. But as you said, only in places you can see them.
Sales would really do these some justice! They look real nice, but the price is pretty steep!
They look gorgeous! Can you combine them with some sp with one lightning controller? If so, is that what the "led channels" in the software are for?
Also, if you have the Corsair 460/570x, do the buttons on top can be used with the commander pro?
+Corentin Leman They cannot be used on the same lighting hub, but they can be used on the same controller! So if you use SP and LL fans, you would need at least two channels. The buttons on top of the 460X and 570X are replaced by a Commander Pro. That buttons cycle fan settings, but the Commander allows you to do it in software
very good video!
Thank you!
Which one is brighter? Corsair LL or Corsair QL?
5 seconds in and i already love this guy, have a sub!
+Knug3n Aw, thanks!
The only product that Thermaltake did not copy but start all of these theme and headache is their Thermaltake Riing. If this fan does not exist, there no RGB fans :D
To be honest with you, I'm not all that familiar with RGB fan history! It'd definitely be interesting to learn more about, though!
Do the node pro and commander pro both need to be plugged into SATA power or just the node pro??
Great video by the way. SUBSCRIBED!!!
Both require SATA power! Thanks!
I'm still convinced this dudes a robot...
Shhh, don't let them know!
Great videos as always, you have any idea if i can use 6 LL fans and 6 or 8 led strips on the node pro or I need the commander? or can´t be done ? tnks a lot for your help like always
+Daniel Barona You can use up to six fans on one channel and four LED strips on one channel. Any more than that will require a second Node Pro or a Commander Pro.
Great Vid! Can I add these fans on to the Commander Pro instead since I already use a H115i AIO using the usb2 on my motherboard? It seems the Lighting Node Pro doesn't have an extra usb hub for me.
The Commander Pro has its own lighting ports, so you can connect the lighting hub to the Commander Pro directly, no Node Pro required!
Many thanks for the reply. Since my case has been a boring Obsidian 750d I have now ordered 4x HD140s over the LLs and the Commander Pro also. Looking forward to having RGB Love on my Ryzen 1700x system. 😉
The HD140 High Static fans have the highest airflow of 74 CFM and have a clearer unimpeded view of colours. But why you not review them???? The new LL140's look super duper nice but they are around 51.5 CFM. I think i'll be buying the HD140's that weren't in the review. But awesome review. LIT!
This review was specifically for the LL fans. I have a separate video that covers the Corsair HD and SP fans, Thermaltake's Riing Plus fans, and NZXT's AER RGB fans ;)
ALittleDIMM Hey There. Sorry about my last comment. There was no ill Intention towards you or the video. I love your vids. I'm sorry how it came across. Great reviews. Appreciate your hard work you go through.
+MaxPower211983 No worries, I didn't feel any ill intentions! Just figured I'd let you know I did cover them! Corsair sent the LL series over for a dedicated review, so that's why these are the main focus for this video.
Do you think that 3 x 120mm is better? For overall performance and noise balance? Or 2 x 140mm's?
How did you not talk about their inexcusable cable design
i have 8 hd120 and 3 h140's for my new build that i am yet to even power on and they have come out with a newer version ..... damnit lol
got to the temp results, no longer feeling salty.
Gotta make those tradeoffs somewhere, I guess! The HD fans are still really nice!
yeah, and they are going on radiators (well 8 of them) so , its all good, but the cables ... SO MANY CABLES!
THE CABLES ARE A NIGHTMARE, LOL
I'd like to request a donut-themed PC build.
As soon as I can find a case that fits the bill, I'll slap this on the to-do list!
I'm surprised by how they don't even seem to be superior to the SP series beyond their PWM power. Sure, they're quiet, but what I'm most excited about is the decrease in the Lighting Node Pro prices that will probably come out of this.
+Sergio G Yes! Node Pros already seem to be a little cheaper on Amazon! At least, lower than MSRP!
Eh, I like the looks of them, but if performance is slightly under the HDs and they require you to have a Node Pro, it's a pass from me. I'm broke anyways and not about to try and get six fans I don't need.
Edit: I may have to try and pick up a node pro anyways, I didn't realize it gave the HDs more options.
The Node Pro adds a bunch of neat effects! I've got videos that go through the HD RGB effects with the Node Pro, so if you can find it for cheap, it's not a bad idea!
You should make a Video on how to Install them step by step with the Required Controller as I've heard from lots of People that u don't need to buy the Lighting Node pro Just the Commander Pro ONLY but with that being said if I do buy the Lightning node Pro how many do I need to buy to hook up all 6 fans?
I believe I mention in the video that you only need a Node Pro or a Commander Pro, not both. Each channel on the Node or Commander supports up to six fans (one hub that supports six fans per channel - the hub is required). That means a Node or Commander can have up to twelve fans each, or up to six of two different kinds (you can't mix different fan models on the same fan hub). The installation process for each fan is the same, with the exception of the HD and SP fans, which don't require a Node or Commander, since they have a hardware switch (they can be software-controlled if you have a Node or Commander, though).
These are so dank
These are the dankest. I appreciate the dank.
