- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 เม.ย. 2017
- So you (obviously!) want RGB in your build, but whose RGB ecosystem deserves a spot in your mighty machine? Corsair's Lighting Node PRO and their HD120 and HD140 RGB fans have some pretty compelling arguments, but so do NZXT's HUE+ and AER RGB fans! Let me know what you think!

I do my best ;)
I also agreen!
This en _"light"_ ening video review was simply *"P U N"* d e r f ul.
I am de _FAN_ itely now a *"FAN"* of these twirling polychromatic photon emitting air whooshers... or whatever u call them things?
I like how your brain works ;)
dude your content has so much effort and quality, amazing job keep it up you got my sub
Thanks, that means a lot to me!
dude you need more subscribers, your content is just too good for such small audience
I'm taking baby steps, I'll get there someday! Thanks for the support!
Agreed.
Just finished binging on all your vids since discovering your channel 3-4 days ago. Your videoes har just plane awesome, keep up the great work :D You got a new and eager fan in me
Aw, thanks, that means a lot to me!
The HD 140 is available in Switzerland since over a week!
I had no idea!
Dude, just watched this video and the updated one on the Commander Pro.. Thank you.. No other video on TH-cam was clear enough on if I could just use the Commander Pro with a HD120 (3pk with LED controller) together without any other accessories. I also subscribed.. Great video.. Cheers..
+Joe's Photo & Video Channel Happy to help, thanks for watching!
I thoroughly enjoyed your review. Just came here to learn about the NZXT fans and stumbled on your video. You are very informative and made it fun to watch. Subscribed :)
Thank you!
That warning at 3:40 saved my ears,
Alas i ignored it
Your channel is like a breath of fresh RGB air, after so much of Linus and other channels. Subbed!
Aw, thanks, that means a lot to me!
Does the node have a sound reactive setting?
Dude, keeping making videos. Great production value and great info. Liked and Subbed.
Thanks! I'm working at it!
hahaha this is honestly a flawless video! this is EXACTLY what i needed to see in 2017!!! im looking at one or the other. also thasnks for the massive warning when u talked afrter fan demo. kept me from losing an ear
Glad you liked it, thanks for watching!
Waiting for termaltake riing plus now :) FANtastic review
Maybe one of these days! (Most) RGB fans aren't cheap!
That "I'M ABOUT TO START TALKING" literally saved my life XD
I'm glad you made it out alive ;)
Wow. Way to deliver on that sick rgb b-roll dude. What an awesome vid
Aw, thanks a lot, glad you liked it!
dope video dude ! you are the only one to show this "daisy chain" with nzxt fans. thanks !!
Thanks for watching!
i was so hyped about buying the hue after this video but it arrived and apparently their usb cables don't work properly so it won't connect to my cam software i'm going to cry lmao :')
Oh, sorry to hear that! Do you have another cable you can try? Or you can see if they'll do an exchange?
I went and got there USB hub splitter and let’s say I’m disappointed in it effected my vr and I can’t work out how and why and the brand alone is so over rated garbage will never buy anything to do with the nzx branding
Can't wait for my AER's to come in! Wish I watched this video first. Totally would have used your link. Sorry bro, guess I'm the one a little dimm in this moment.
No worries! Enjoy the fans!
Just came across this channel and was surprised to see you only had 6.4k subs with such good production value. I subbed.
Thanks!
I don't think I've actually enjoyed a single video about RGB lighting until now! Keep up the great sense of humour, containing clear and informative content of which I was in need of... and this was published nearly a full year ago lol! Big thanks +Sub
3:41 clutch i was high volume on a big speaker
I have the corsair 120 mm HD and the only down side is that just now they released the 140 mm fans...Use corsair for case fans and the ntxz cpu cooler cuz it looks cool
I thought the same thing! I bought the 120s and then all of a sudden, 140s were on the market! Ahhh!
Hahaha glad we can share the same pain :D or sad..im not sure :)
But i allways wanted the 140 mm to fill out the case...Maybe i will buy 3 x 140 for the front because the 3 others are not that visible due to my case is under my table :D
The only thing holding me back is the cable management i hate to do over :/
www.dropbox.com/s/gaf2d7fxai5fglh/20170421_194308.jpg?dl=0
I can't see the image right now, but I feel your pain! Cable management can take so long sometimes!
It was my pc seen from the back side with all the wires looks like spaghetti monster :D
I used the corsair mini to hide all the fans power cables..what is ur opinion ? Keep the 120 in front or go for the 140 mm and all the extra work ? They are a bit expensive..30 eu each..so 90 eu total and thats for 3 single fans..no boxes what so ever
Hmm, I would need to see a picture of the case, first! Or at least know the exact case model. Corsair has a few "mini" cases, I believe.
Glad to see your subs double! congrats! Great video!
Thanks, I'm doing my best!
First time I have ever seen you, already love you, subbed
Thanks!
Great personality, and love the hidden quips. Wonder how many actually get most of them, but that is what makes it more interesting. Keep it up! Sooooo pissed at NZXT for onesided lighting. Completely limits what you can do with the fans!!! Idiotic!
Yeah, NZXT's design choice there is a little confusing, but maybe they'll fix it with a new version! Thanks for watching!
hey you should advertise your channel well dude, you have promising potential
I'm not very good at advertising, but I do have other social media outlets in the video description!
ALittleDIMM HEY PLEASE DO ME A FAVOUR, do a video on vertical mounting of gpus in a cheap way
+skepterra Can't guarantee it'll happen soon, but I can look into it!
So i got 3 of the HD120 inside my case and 3 of the LL120 infront of my case. The HD120 are RGB channel 1-2-3 and the LL120 are 4-5-6. The HD120 are working fine with the commandor pro but the LL120 Arent. LL120 (4) is working with rgb but i can't control it and it's only the middle light. LL120 5 and 6 arent working at all. Help please! I thought i can combine them, but maybe i cant?
Love your videos and style of humor man! Keep up the good content, I know you'll grow big one day.
Thanks, I'm trying!
NZXT FTW
They have a solid system!
the 67 dislikes are from coolermaster fans
I would like some CoolerMaster fans!
Great video as always, looking forward to the then next one.
Thanks! Hoping I can release another one soon!
how many strip can you connect to ur node pro, my set up is 1st channel for the rgb fans the 2nd channel is for the strip (currently 4pcs and planning to buy the 4 pcs extension rgb strip)
l wonder y this guy has such an small audience
Channel is still relatively new, and small channels can be a little tough to grow!
Crystal RGB ha haaaaaaaaaaaaa, Bitwit pls.
I thought the shirt was appropriate for the topic ;)
I am putting the ll20 Corsair fans in my Nzxt case is the 120mm compatible with h510 case please let me know
hey how i can use fan rgb light (COSRIA HD 120m) to the NZXT whether it should in series or parallel and which connecter i can use for joining the 3 fan into one NZXT Hue+
Corsair RGB components are not compatible with NZXT's. To use Corsair's HD RGB fans, you need a Lighting Node Pro or a Commander Pro.
why is that so
Thanks for this vid. This type of feature comparison is exactly what I was looking for while trying to decide between the different RGB fans, and no one else seems to be offering it.
Great, hope I could help!
Can i use corsair link and nzxt cam at a same time ? Means is it possible to use LL120 corsair fans and nzxt hue plus led strips on a same pc ?
uh i got the corsair and the rgb strips work but my 120 ll fans wont light up
Love the bloopers! Great job.
Thanks!
Very well explained! Thank you!
What do you think about those very cheap AeroCool Duo 12 Pro RGB 120mm I bought for my next build? Thanks for the great review.
Do I need to replace the controller in my H500i when I want to use the corsair one?
Hello, nice review, I have a question can you adjust the brightness of the stripes or fans in hue +?
bro i have nzxt hue 2 controler but i dont have nzxt hue 2 strips so can i use another third party strip from another brand
do either of these require and rgb header on your motherboard, as i have an matx board that has non, but wanted the hd120s?
+aidenhill No. They use their own connection through internal USB. No motherboard header needed
I have a question for you: I'm planning on getting the Corair HD140's to replace the fans on my Kraken x62. But how will I go about having the fan speed ramp up with the CPU temp?
I'm afraid that I won't even be able to get to the boot screen in time to configure Corsair Link before my CPU overheats. Any ideas? I'm really confused here. Is there a way to control the fans that would work as soon as my computer boots up (i.e. outside of the OS)? Any way to maintain traditional motherboard-based PWM control and RGB at the same time?
tusing The fans can connect to the Kraken directly through the four pin connectors! Their speed will be controlled through there, so any fans with four pin cables should work!
The lighting for the fans will be controlled through Link. The pump and fan speeds will be done through CAM.
Wonderfull update to your earlier video.
It was long overdue, but I didn't have a reason to buy into another lighting system earlier!
Good shit bro, good shit. Subbed
This vid was insanely helpful. Thank you
please help me I have an old mothetbpard without an rgb header. can either of this lighting hub help me control my nzxt kraken m22 ako cooler.
which case should I buy? corsair or NZXT? which is better? please help.. I have msi mystic mobo also.
Damn man you keep putting out the quality work! I wish I had some one like you to review my POF profile.
I don't know what a POF profile is! But I do find myself fairly busy, so I apologize if the video output is somewhat inconsistent!
Ah hell Mac Daddy, it's where you meet the best local singles!
Uncle Fabio Oh! That explains why I wouldn't know, LOL. I'm terrible at dating... Probably not the best person to ask...
+1 Sub. I've only seen one video and I'm sold. Good job dude!
Aw, thanks! Hope I continue to sell!
Huge Question!! So i wanna order the new CORSAIR LL120 rgb fans. But i have a NZXT kraken x53 liquid cooler. And idk if this matters but my RAM is also Corsair Vengence RGB and my case is the NZXT H500 without the hub.. My question is will the corsair rgb fans work on the nzxt case and liquid cooler and not mess up temps or rgb or anything???
If I want to swap out my 120mm case fans on my NZXT h500i to AER RGB, will I still need a HUE+ controller? Or would I just swap out the fan plugs on the controller on the case for a pair of AER RGB fans? I'm torn between this and the Corsair LL 120 but I don't want to have to buy a kit with 3 fans when I need 2 just to get the controller unit. Reason I like the LL120 from Corsair is that they are really bright and look great, plus I have the h115i cooler and they have ML140 fans which look similar.
This guy is awesome, and this video made me a subscriber. Also I've seen other review videos on the Hue+ and this was one of the best I've seen.
Thanks, I'm glad you think so!
Your Welcome, keep it up your doing great.
Great video and well explained! Thanks a lot.
Happy to help!
do you need the commander pro to setup special profiles for hd led fans?
Either the Commander Pro or Node Pro is required for setting up profiles.
Absolutely love your content man :)
Aw, thanks! I love that you love it!
how to get lighting node pro..!! i dont have rainbow mode on my fans!!
There are links to buy in the description of this video.
Hey, quick question. Do you need the lightning Node pro to be able to use the "rainbow" effect shown starting at 8:20? Or is the effect still available if you just have the lighting controller?
Check 9:17 for effects without the Node Pro. That particular Rainbow option is not available without it.
Cool, thank you for the fast reply!
thks a lot, l was confused which one should l get for my s340 elite chassis
Glad I could help, thanks for watching!
I just saw this video and you for the first time, you are hillarious, your dead pan puns are on point. Subscribed.
KreativeINK Thanks, glad you enjoy the content!
Gotta say, your video encouraged me to get my hands on a pair of nice fans. I now have a hue+ and two NZXT rgb fans. (Although I completely forgot about motherboard headers, unfortunately for me. Currently waiting for Thursday to come around for that internal hub. ) So thanks for the video. 👍
Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoy 'em!
Hey Steven, there is that light with a cool design looks like a setting button with lines going side by side near the kraken, that is synced with the fans and hue+ u are using in ur nzxt rgb build . Is that a custom built thing it looks sick. Anywhere I can buy it? Thanks
+Undxrstand There's a video on my channel called "Basic Acrylic Mods" that shows you how to do it!
Great vid, Thanx for the info.
Thanks for watching!
i have a question here .im about to get a new case for my set up the corsair crystal 460x and truth be told i love my rbg lighting in my current case . currently im using the nzxt hue+ but the main setting i use is the audio i just love the effect . anyways my question is this ..being i love the audio effect is there another like it ?
+Tom Shepherd Not as complex as NZXT's. Asus Aura Sync offers it (MSI Mystic Light might, but I'm not sure), and while the lighting is more compatible with other LED strips and some fans, it is not as advanced in terms of flexibility. You can always keep your HUE+ with the new case!
What do you find better the nzxt fan or the cordair fan?
thanks, was a nice video like always! 😊
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video with great content!!!
Thanks!
This video was informative AND funny. Thumbs up!
Thanks!
do you have a video for your computer on the bottom right hand corner? i wanna see the set up
I've got a vlog that shows my current setup, but not one specifically for what's in this video. System components are in the description, and there's a "Basic Acrylic Mods" video that shows how I did the side piece!
At 2:16, will the corsair cases that have a button for lighting controls work with the unit? I have a Carbide Series Air 740, and it has a push button near the power on front of case. I am considering getting SP140's or ML140' (ouch! so much money) to eventually replace all of the fans in my rig. Thanks in advance! Great video as well! Subbed!
Unfortunately, I can't say for sure. I don't own any Corsair cases with that functionality. I haven't heard of Corsair cases doing this before, but you can always try to set up the controller outside of your case somewhere! Also, I hear those ML140 fans are pretty awesome! Though, I don't think they come in RGB versions, only single-color LEDs.
Good review.
I am stucked with a confusion.
I want to buy that 3 fan corsair pack with included device and controller ....And also one NZXT fan AER RGB 2 fan.
Can i control the NZXT fan lighting effect with corsair device ? like 4 fan with one controller .
Superb! I am glad to see you reduced the number of puns, which made it much more enjoyable to watch! Thanks for this comparison video! Love the bloopers section. Keep 'em coming! 11/10
Thanks! Trying my best to keep it under control without rocking the boat too hard! Happy to know I'm getting closer!
My mom saw me watching you and actually thought you were my brother haha... I guess asians DO all look the same :P (I'm S. Korean btw) Also, did you switch to Team RED after the release of Ryzen 5? I sure did! :)
LOL. I never disagreed with anyone who said that, I guess! And I did not switch! Not because I'm against it, but because I already have the i7 7700k and I didn't think it was enough reason to swap platforms completely. Too much money for me at the moment! But maybe someday!
You're smart to NOT do that! I would've done the same, but alas, I can't afford the i7 7700K, nor do I have the use for it :) Looking forward to future videos!!
Great, I'm looking forward to bringing them! Thanks for the support!
Can i control nzxt aer with CAM but will not use nzxt hue+?
Are you able to have Corsairs Link and CUE sync with one another so that the RGB effects with the fans and or light strips would match that of corsairs keyboards or mice?
Unfortunately, not that I know of. That'd be a really cool feature, though!
i plan on getting the three pack corsair hd fans as well but i wonder if you can connect the controller to the mobo and use corsair link or you need the commander
The controller does not connect to the motherboard. If you want to control the lighting through LINK, you need a Node PRO or a Commander PRO.
ALittleDIMM alright thanks
Outstanding! Thank you!
Rich
Thanks, I tried my best!
I have the NZXT aer 140 mm , and when playing music it doesnt sync correct at all, it is so far behind the music the lights come 2 late, I sold mine and went for 140mm fans without any led
Oh, how odd, I never experienced that issue. But I hope those new fans are working better for you!
Just bought NZXT+ HUE set + One AER 120 and boy thats some RGB heaven. Also I had pretty hard time to fit the LED strips to S340 Elite :/ But I did it and it looks awesome. Great content as always!
Congrats on the new RGB, I bet it looks great! Thanks for the support!
I need the lightning node pro to modificate the colour of my hd rgb fans? please help.
I mean to make it look like the ones at 8:25
To make it look like the effect at 8:25, yes, you will need the Corsair Lighting Node Pro.
Included controller effects are at 9:17
Lighting Node Pro / Corsair Link effects are at 8:25
wow suscribing thanks
Great review
Thank you!
hey, what rgb light strip u use for ur monitors?
I like your HUE-more!! Any idea if you can take the NZXT fan off the Axel to reverse the airflow? For case looks...
Thanks, LOL. And unfortunately, no, I don't believe you can. As far as I know, there isn't a way to reverse the fan's airflow.
Finally someone with a clear description and the ability to add humor in to a comparison
I try my best, hope I could help!
I'm looking into RGB for my PC refresh and I have to say your channel is a miracle. Do you recommend the Commander Pro if I'm wanting to manage 4 fans and 8 LED strips, or will the node pro work? Corsair's information on the subject is infuriatingly lacking.
+Cody Schug You would need at least two controllers! If you don't need a fan controller or internal USB hub, two Node Pros will work. Each channel supports up to six fans or four LED strips, so four fans will take up one channel, four LED strips will take another, and the last four will take a third. Both the Node and Commander have two channels each
Does the node have a sound reactive setting?
does these fans and strips work with asus aura, and others rgb-motherboards instead of controllers??
No, the connections are proprietary. You need the controllers.
really fantastic video. so you went with the nzxt in the end? any particular reason?
I actually went with NZXT in the beginning! I invested into the HUE+ lighting system first because the software seemed more robust, and I opted for the AER RGB fans because Corsair's RGB option only had 120mm variants at the time. If I had to make this decision again, assuming everything is all out on the table right from the start, it'd be a really hard choice. I think it would largely depend on the chassis. For something with mostly tempered glass, like Corsair's 570X case, or the Anidees AI Crystal Cube, I'd probably opt for Corsair's. I really like how the white fan blades accent the glass. For the Enthoo Evolv I have now, I think I'd still keep NZXT's because I'm either just used to it, or because the front panel is black and having the white fan blades inside might seem odd, if that makes sense. As for the RGB LED strips, they don't make too much of a difference to me, I try to keep them hidden, anyway! In terms of software options, both have different ways of doing similar things, but CAM's is probably a little easier to use in my opinion. CAM also has more options, but I don't usually use the more fancy ones, so I'm not overly picky there. I guess in the end it comes down to what fans match what case!
thanks for the prompt reply. i'm leaning towards nzxt as well reason being i've also got kraken x62 so having everything under nzxt would make software management better and easier. thank you so much and great job on this video seriously. it cleared a lot of my doubts and questions!
crankyfart There's a lot of advantage to having everything under one software. I'd probably go with NZXT in your case, too! Glad I could help!
I got a Question concerning the RGB functions provided by the Corsair Node Pro. I currently have the HD 120 in my Rig and compared to the Node i recognized that i am missing some of the RGB Modes mentioned in the Video. When i purchase the Node and connect it to the RGB Hub for my Fans, will the Node expand those features, in other words, will i have access to more RGB Modes than without it? I hope that i can point out my problem properly :D Thanks for the Video, as always great quality and content :P
cheers my friend!
So you'll have one set of effects with the Node Pro and another set of effects with the controller. The Node doesn't really "expand" the features, it just replaces them. Hope that makes sense! Thanks for the support!
I see the pc in the back is using the aers facing inside the case does that mean you dont have any exhaust fans?
There are three AER fans inside of the PC behind me, two up top and one in the back. The lights facing in means they're all exhausting air. I have four non-LED fans for intake (push/pull).
ALittleDIMM aw ok. Thx for the reply, helped a lot.
Are the RGB Cable Extensions standard 3 pin fan cable extensions?
They are not! Each of them are different and you won't be likely to find extensions from anywhere aside from the respective company.
can we have 3 different software in 1 build, ie nzxt cam (cpu cooler), rgb fusion (mobo), corsair link (fan & led strip)
Awesome video!! now how do I get that backround!
Can corsair rgb strip(without lighting node pro) work with icue software?
Without lighting node pro controller
I need help. If I have a MOBO that doesn't have a RGB header does that mean this Corsair commander pro will solve that issue, meaning I can buy whatever MOBO I want? 3:42 I guess the answer is , yes I do need a MOBO with an RGB header
Great video... but I want connect 12 corsair fan in my custom watercooling.... how i do that?
You'll need at least a Node Pro and two fan controllers (each controller holds six fans and will take up both Node Pro channels). If you want LED strips, you'll need another Node Pro or a Commander Pro.
Dude your sense of HUE-mor, your persona-LIGHT-ty, and how very detai-LED your reviews are, is everything to be desired out of a review channel! Gg man!!
Ik I am very late but cam you please help me?? I am building my Rig in th 460x rgb or S340 elite. I was going to get a 3 pack of SP 120 if i go with 460x, does it come with a controller? If yes then can i connect all s6 of them to work together and how can i control them? If i go with S340 Elite can the 2 RGB fans connected with the mobo?
Please help, I'm going mad!
I don't own the 460X, but I believe the 460X RGB does have a lighting hub that can support up to six fans, and they are controlled by a button on the case. None of the fans featured in this video directly connect to the motherboard, they each need their own respective control boxes.
ALittleDIMM thanks alot for replying so 6 sp 1e0 fans can connect to that and will sync properly? How do i control them? If i use inly 2 hd 120 in s340 elite can i connect tjem to mobo?
