Cable management on point 👌👌👌👌
😀😀😀
🤣
Thanks. This is the only video i could find that confirms and shows that each individual rgb light can be a different color.
Glad I could help out 🙏 Thanks for watching
A few weeks ago I was a complete noob at pc fans so I've investigated a lot about this and this is by far the best explained one because it covers everything clearly with the information we realistically want. Thanks!! I'll be getting these very soon
I’m glad I could help 🙌 Thanks so much 🙏
great video. thank you i have decided what fans i finally want in my pc!
Awesome tutorial! My first build I used montech z3 pro rgb fan. It's really nice...
But I love be quiet! Big fan of their technology... it is little expensive. But so cool 👍
Yeah definitely solid options! Thanks for watching 🙏
This was super helpful! Thank you for this video!
Happy to help 🙌 Thank you for watching 🙏
nice close recording of the mainboard very helpfull thank you
subbed!
Awesome video! Love watching your pc tutorials even though I know how to😂 but I still like the builds you have!
Glad you like them! Thank you for the support ☺
Fantastic video!! This is exactly what i was looking for! Cheers brew
Glad I could help 🙌 Thanks for watching 🙏
Great video. I just bought 10 of these fans and a commander pro. Also bought 4 200mm Thermaltake Riing 20 RGB for the front of the case and on top. So gotta install 2 different softwares for this build. Corsair doesn’t have the QL 200mm fans so had to go with Thermaltake for those big ones. Got the Z590 motherboard and also will be using RGB heat sinks for all three of the M.2 slots and of course RGB on the memory
Awesome tutorial! Subbed 👍
Thank you so much 🙏
Thanks for keeping this tutorial easy and in detail keep it up
You’re very welcome and thanks so much for watching 🙏
Good job, very informative. A lot of people are going to be replacing there are case fans with the corsairs, comma so this is particularly helpful. Especially that you chose the CL fans Which are much better fans for only a slight price difference
Thanks for that bro was thinking of buying them it helped me alot
Love from India ❤️
Happy to help! Thanks for watching ☺🙏
@@BuildsWithV ya buddy😉
Great video!!
Thank you 🙏
UP for this video👌
Thank you 🙏🙏
Great video you did!!!....would you be able to show tutorial how to sync lian li strimer plus with icue?
nice cable management
First build thx
thanks man
YES another video! Love your work!
Hope I win the giveaway :)
Thank you so much 🙏
nice wire management!
Amazing channel
Thank you 🙏
If you keep going, you will blow up one day!!
Thank you 🙏 I appreciate that
Good video keep it up😁😁
Thanks so much ☺
Really nice and u can upgrade to more QL fans later but i think from the lighting perspectiv the bottom fan is turned and not turned in the software so it doesnt match
Thank you 🙏 Definitely can get some more in the future. We’ll see tho, I have some exciting stuff happening soon so I may need to go back to the bitspower. But yeah I forgot to turn that bottom one in the software and it wasn’t in sync. All fixed now tho. Thanks for watching 😊
Thanks for this great video. Can I change my fans from Lian-Li Galahad 360mm RGB with this fans? Thank you
Thx sir 🙋
Thank you for watching 🙏 Glad I could help
So my 3x fans came with a rgb hub, will that work or do I have to buy the node or whatever
great video mate, can you use diffrent makes of fans in your comp, i have bought 2 of theses fans, but have a regular rgb fan aready in there can i put my new fans in with my current even though there diffrent makes
Yes you can put different fans into a case.
The fans are pretty good more higher end, the icue software is very good.I seen someone take the hub a connect a product from another brand and get it to work with there software.
Yeah these are awesome! I love the iCUE software. Yeah as long as you get an adapter, you can connect other RGB fans or lights to the controller.
General rule of thumb is you want those side fans to be intake not exhaust. Exhaust should be up top and the rest should be intake. Always want more intake than exhaust. Doing it that way it can still look awesome heres mine th-cam.com/video/IEAYILNoecE/w-d-xo.html
Did you buy the triple pack two fans are you just bought one and if you bought one does it come with the RGB hub and stuff in it if I buy one fan
Can you change these fans to the same way it looked in the beginning or are the Corsair fans always synced ?
Have you noticed the ql fans struggling to push air thru the radiator? I’ve just installed them to my radiator and there seems to be a small gap and less airflow thrilling my rad
how are you making the base color look like glow in the dark?
Is it really bad for on radiators NZXT X73. Should i get Corsair iCUE ML120 RGB ELITE for my aio or will the difference only be small
How do you control all 9 fans at once? When i set it up I can only control 6 then the other 3 seperately. and if it do it that way then the lights dont match up for some of the lighting cues
Is the sata cable connected to old fans or what is it connected to
Plz make a video how to sync all the fans in same color even if it from different companies like (corsair,CM,Aorus...
I will keep that in mind. Thanks for the suggestion. I usually just use 2 or 3 different software and just adjust them all to the same color code.
Do you need the node core to use the fans? Im about to recieve my fans and I am checking to see if i didnt miss anything
one question: U said the pwm is useless, why u plugged hem in ? Do I have full controll without putting the pwm cables into another hub ?
Suggest me some looking good fan kit (I need atleast 6) for Lian Li o11D xl under $100
Will there still be a way to connect everything if I have more than 6 fans, and if so, will i still get the ability to individually control every fan? ( I have 9 QL120's)
hi man i have the rgb hub and commander pro but when i go into the software the commander pro doesn’t come up i think i got the wrong version of the software any ideas?
1:04 Jesus Christ that cable management
I know right.
Hopefully you're still monitoring the comments on this I know it's a one year old video, but I'm looking at a Corsair 7000 d case which can use upwards of 12 fans. I'm assuming I would need at least two of these units for controls. If more was needed, is it possible to daisy chain these?
Is the pwd cable directly connect to motherboard better?
V i have QL120 as well on a commnder pro with a RGB hub... and i am not able to synch up fan to change patterns? Can u help?
Hi will these fans work with the commander core?
Nice video! I have a question, if I want to control the speed as well, do I need an other commander? Or the node is doing it? (Sorry for my english, I’m french canadian)
So you can get the corsair commander pro and connect the fans to control speed through there or you can just plug them into your motherboard and control the speed through your motherboard bios.
@@BuildsWithV ok! Thank you, I will buy the commander pro to control all my 9 QL120 fans that I ordered today 😆 I really prefer doing all the setup with ICUE.
@@adgenai yeah that’s probably the best way. iCue is wonderful to use!
Umm care to explain, where does that female sata goes/ connects to?
If i wanted 6 pc case fans , do i just buy one 3 pack then 3 separately?
can i put vdg on the hub from the crosair thing
pls fast answere
im thinking of buying these fans but i am wondering do i need the lighting node pro aswell if i already have the corsair led hub?
I believe you still need this lighting node.
Kmal
Hi, thanks for the video I have a question!
Need I buy the commander pro to control RPM + ARGB with iCue if I am using Lightning node from QL120 pack and the Commander core provided for The AIO H150i Elite Capellix?
Hmmm I’m not too sure if you need it since you have the commander core. I assume to control RPM you will need the pro. I haven’t tried it so I’m not positive
@@BuildsWithV i hope not because I not want use tree different controls in my case... but thanks for your answer!
For some reason my lighting node core doesn’t appear on icue and I don’t know why. I’m using a USB splitter for the node core USB cable so maybe I should plug it in directly to the motherboard? It’s odd. The fan lights up and spins and everything just that the lighting node core hub doesn’t appear on icue for some reason.
Great tutorial :) could you also explain, why mine QL120 fans LEd's are shining in the middle only? the bigger circle around the fans, off.. it happens with all 6 fans.
Thank you so much 🙏 Do you have maybe just the center ring in software selected?
@@BuildsWithV Noo, it is selected as it supposed to be.. only middle RGB was immediately after I turned pc o for the first time... Should be like this? :O
@@audriusg1536 that’s pretty normal when your first turn the pc on. Do they work all good now?
@@BuildsWithV Yes, they shine fully now :) but cannot control them with iCue for some reason.. Tryin to find solution.
EDIT: Managed to fix it.. ;D
Hey man I was wondering if you could make a installing windows 10 step by step pleas?
Hey, I actually have a full install video for windows 10. Its a bit older video and not exactly my "best work" 😅 but it shows each step. th-cam.com/video/ybrxRovYRa4/w-d-xo.html
Is the light node meant to come with the fans? Mine didnt
Does it come in every paket with a remode?
I would like to buy a ql120 single pack, and was wondering if it works in rgb, choosing colors, effects, and turning it off by the motherboard software, without the node core?
With Corsair fans unfortunately you need to use their hubs and controllers with their software.
Can i Take the Icue ql120 for an Aio Watercooling. I Want to buy a Corsair iCUE H150i ELITE CAPELLIX and i want change the Fans to the Icue ql120..
Where do I plug in the L shaped plug. I can't find a place for it??
What happens if I hook coolermaster fans to The RGB hub
I don’t believe you can unless you get a special adapter
@@BuildsWithV thanks
i have a problem, my fans and node core show up in icue but the fans wont light up, what can be the problem?
Hey Man Can you please do a video on how to install Nzxt Aer Rgg 2 Fans because im working with that and im confused on how to put it together and can you please tell us what to do if we are putting for example 7 into a case. Thanks in Advance
I will keep that in mind. To connect many fans into a PC you'd need sata powered fan hub and if they have RGBs then you'd need a RGB hub.
@@BuildsWithV Ok Thanks ill keep that in mind, keep up the good work
Noisss, is it okay if u mixed the Corsair QL pwm fan with other fans on the same fan hub?
Yes it’s perfectly fine to mix them. They won’t all run the exact speed and stuff but it won’t cause any issues.
@@BuildsWithV thanks appreciated it brother ✌️
I got a Corsair 220T airflow case and it comes with 3x SP120 Pro RGB fans and the case has a built in lightining node. I was wondering if I can replace the SP120 for the QL120's connecting them to the built in lightning node, thanks!
You can do it, same connector
I’m actually not too sure. The QL fans came with a whole new lighting node and different connectors. For example, the LL fans and the QL fans both have different connections. I haven’t messed with the SP fans so again, I’m not too sure.
Are you able to change the rgb of a single fan instead of all the fans at once?
With these fans you can definitely do that. You can also change each individual led separate from all others in the fan. Works very well in my experience. It’s a bit tricky to figure out but I’m sure there are some videos out there to explain it. Unfortunately I didn’t get a chance to make that video 😅
would it work if I plug a CUE SP120 RGB ELITE fan into the Lighting Node Core that comes with QL Series, Ql120 RGB, 120mm RGB LED Fan, Triple Pack ?
I’m honestly not too sure if they have the same connectors or not. Never used the other fans, sorry
how do you change the fan speed bro ? is it aumatically with the node core already ?
So the fan speeds are changed via PWM through your motherboard bios. Or you can get the commander and controller the speed with icue
Can I control fan speed?
I don't have a usb 2.0 header on my motherboard any help
My pc was built by a friend a 1.5yrs ago. I needed to change my fans.. So I'm watching this.. Wait.. How many in take fans do I need vs exhaust fans?? I installed mine how the friend installed the old ones but now I'm wondering if they did it wrong? And that's why 1 possibly 2 of my front fans started making a horrible noise no matter what I did to fix it.. I currently have them facing front so most of the air goes inside?? The back Og fan seems to blow air out.. I'm confused
How did you solved the "Problem" on the USB3.0 19 PIN Header and the Bottom Fans in the Case?
I was able to plug it in and run through the side but it’s definitely not pretty
Grate vids bro simple and casual ..not like some overpowerd enthusiastic annoying voice ..😅
Can you connect them to each other? To save on fan headers, I have 3 on board, and I need 8 fans,
If not, what should I do?
For the fans pwm connectors you could use a fan hub. That would be the best and probably cheapest option.
Is it possible to have these "synced / connected" effects for the fans in icue over two lighting node cores? So over a whole 10 fans? Right now I can only connect 6 together and 4 together, but split on 2 groups (lightning nodes) so to say. Is there a way to make it one group using both lighting node cores? I hope you get what I'm trying to say.
I completely understand what you mean, unfortunately I haven't tried that but I would assume there's a way to do it but I'm not entirely sure.
You can if you buy the commander pro. It allows you to connect 2 lighting nodes to it for a total of 12 fans and will sync the rgb all with eachother.
@@kenb.929 That's not how it works unfortunately. I have the 2 Lighting Nodes hooked up to the Commander Pro and it recognizes them only as 2 different Lighting Nodes, and not one big unit.
Can’t you connect one Node Core to the Commander Pro through the USB port on the Commander Pro, then connect up to six fans RGB connectors to each device?
I had problem with the node.
Always cannot detect it in windows 10.
I need to remove the usb and the power first.
Than plug the power and USB than it will detect.
The problem.. after reboot.. back to square one where it did not detect.
I already replaced the node but it still the same. Bad corsair
Will the fans still spin even if I dont install the pwm connector in? My motherboard doesn't have enough connectors for all fans and i don't really care to control the speed.
Unfortunately they won’t spin without that connected. You can use a pwm fan splitter or hub to connect all the fans.
@@BuildsWithV rip
@@BuildsWithV any fans that connect to a node and makes the fam spin straight from the node?
My lights are working but i can't change them on this program ....
are they a rgb or rgb?
Can I use cosair to control my fans if the fans aren’t from cosair
Unfortunately you can’t unless you buy a special adapter and even then only some fans might work properly
How do you save what you setup for colors, when I. Close software, profiles are never saved or the lights just don't work unless I open the software again
WAIT?! Why did you only connect the RGB connectors to 1,2,3? What about the fan connectors to 4,5,6? Is the hub that it came with only meant for the RGB connectors?
That hub is only for the rgb. The commander pro would be for fan connection as well
Hello, I have a 4-pin Pwm 1x5 fan multiplier (FANS), they are all four-pin, where can I connect it? To cpu_fan or sys_fan. How many FANS can I connect to these?
If you have a fan splitter you can connect up to 4 to one of the fan headers. You have to connect them to the sys_fan. If you have a fan hub like mine, you can connect more to one header because the power comes from sata
@@BuildsWithV
Excellent thank you very much
I just bought the Corsair 570X Mirror Black and 9 QL120 fans. I have NO clue where to start with this shit!
Motherboard: MSI MEG X570 ACE
AIO: Kraken X73
Case: Corsair 570X Mirror Black (Special Edition)
Memory: G.Skill Trident Z Royal (Silver/32GB 3600MHz @ CL14)
can you dim the brightness of each fan?
Yes you can
@@BuildsWithV Thank you!
Kfo
For the algo!
So does anyone else have the issues where the Fan stays LIT blue in one corner and no matter what a person does. it just STAYS BLUE in one corner and then nothing in the software changes stuff?
Hey, is this a good layout, I have lots of friends saying it is negative pressure?
Can u please confirm this for me?
It is negative pressure. It’s a good layout but does get more dusty. Positive or negative layout are both fine. Ideally you want as close to normal pressure as possible. So basically 3-4 fans intake and 3-4 fans exhaust.
@@BuildsWithV will 6 intake and 2 exhaust be fine? intake on bottom and side and the exhaust at the top
@@Hayate__ yeah that will be perfectly fine.
@@BuildsWithV what’s better for temps to be lower, ur layout or mine?
@@Hayate__ technically speaking having negative pressure could have better temps. That’s not always the case But both setups will get really good temps. Either way you do it’ll be great
is the aio and rams automatic to follow ???
I have to set them separate in different apps unfortunately.
Do you need commander pro?
You do not
I BROUGH 4 QL 120 AND ONLY 3 OF THE 4 ARE TURNING ON, IT HAS ALSO MADE MY CORSAIR AIO RGB FANS TURN OFF
Mine worked hakf a year the the LEDs striking and showed other colours-.-
How many fans did you get in the box?
3 fans in this box
@@BuildsWithV thanks!
So I bought these fans. I had to go and buy a fan hub because I got the ones that only come with the RGB fan hub. I have the HP OMEN OBELISK 875-0014 motherboard for my pc. I have everything plugged in correctly and the fans turn on and light up, but when I go into the iCUE software it says no device detected. I just wanted to know if you have any idea on why that is? I have tried everything to fix it, from unplugging it to switching SATA ports, switching fan hubs, I mean everything. But every time I open the iCUE software it always says no device detected.
Just to make sure, it is also plugged into the usb header correct? I’ve been having some icue issues lately as well, haven’t found any fix yet. Not sure what’s going on.
@@BuildsWithV Yes, I have it plugged into the 9 pin usb header on the motherboard, but nothing seems to be working.
@@BuildsWithV I have tried to unplug everything and plug it back in and when I open the iCUE program all it says is " No device detected! Please connect a deivce."
@@jaskomedencevic1405 are you running the latest version of icue? If you aren’t, try updating. If you are running the latest see if there’s a previous version available
@@BuildsWithV I tried v4.12.214 and v3.38.61 from the website it still says the samething.
