It would have been better if you would have talked us through it, instead of playing music. Because we have no idea what your doing.
Exactly I'm looking at all these included cables that came with the fans and still have no idea what's necessary and what's optional
Exactly. No idea whatsoever. This is not a guide at all.
@@hedegaard8 Glad you enjoyed it!
@@JilesMcCoy Enjoyable yes, learning? Not so much. BUt thanks for making the video nonetheless.
You don't need the HUE 2 with the H510i. The Smart Device 2 has two HUE 2 channels that will support the AER RGB 2 fans, the LED strips, and the underglow kit. As far as wiring them up, with the new HUE 2 architecture, you can daisy-chain them any way you want (pay attention to the order, if you're using RGB modes that cycle through the components though).
The limit per HUE 2 channel is either 6 devices or 40 LEDs, whichever comes first. The AER RGB 2 fans have 8 LEDs. The LED strips have 10 LEDs each, and the underglow kit (assuming ATX version) has 20 LEDs total in two strips. Each fan or strip counts as one device.
Thanks for the info!
ΧΞΟΝ GΛΜΙΝG What about for the H510 Elite? Mine came with the smart device V2
You're wrong mate. This hub is SDV01-B1. On the left side you have 1 LED, 1 USB and 1 Power input. There is no way to connect additional RGB devices without unplugging LED stripes. You need an additional HUE controller.
This was great, looking in to getting one myself and you really helped out alot chief
Glad it helped! It works great in my system.
Yo I love the intro
0:04 You need a lil bling for your machine Lmao
Gotta have it!
so i just got this as well. was wondering how you hooked up the fans exactly? i daisy chained as well i plugged the 3 pin connectors to the 3 pin connectors that came with the case.... CAM isnt even picking up either one of my HUE 2s.
I bought the LED light strip kit and used it to control additional light strips and the RGB fans. Just plug the Hue 2 into a USB port. Each fan gets power from the system board. And make sure the daisy chain cables for RGB control are correct. Thats all there is to it!
@@JilesMcCoy i have 6 fans hooked up i have the h700i so how would that work? considering my motherboard and alot of boards only have 3 CHA fan inputs?
@@ppwnagee Get a fan power splitter. It sill let you connect 3 or more fans to a single header. They are really inexpensive.

Hey JDM thanks for the video. What is the main difference between the NZXT RGB Fan Controller and HUE 2? Also Cant I just connect to the motherboard for RGB control?
Thanks for your review.
Question: Do you control the inbuilt led in H500i (Smart Controller V2) in the same software as HUE 2?
Great job :)
Thank you!
How did you connect the molex power cable? Did you use an adapter, does it come with one?
I used one that I had.
I like your wallpaper at 6:00,could you tell me what is the name?
Thanks!
Hey man, I think we have the same setup and yet I'm missing a USB port to connect the HUE2. I have an Aorus Ultra Z390, the same H500i case, and same Kraken cooler... All those things occupy the USB headers on the mobo... where'd you plug yours?
Internal USB hub FTW.
@@JilesMcCoy hey bud, googled it as I commented on here, and that's exactly what I did. Thanks anyway, keep making videos!
Does it sync with aorus lighting
@@imethdhamviru7151 no, Aorus uses different software than NZXT, but you can still make them do the same thing separately.
Thank You So Very Much!! :D
can i connect the stock lights to it? i dont need more rgb strips i just wanna use the lighting presets i cant use with the built in control hub
I believe so. I never tried though.
Hey ,if my rgb parts are from different brands can i use nzxt hue to sync them all?
Probably not. RGB is still the wild west as far as standards go.
If you’re using led strips without a control box you just plug them into the rgb header on your mother board. Different manufacturers have different software to control lighting. There’s no true integration at this time so sometimes with different makes of lighting you have to set up and run different software for controlling them.
how do you get the software to change the colar
Do the fans come with a controller/ wire hub thing?
The case came with one for the integrated pieces when I bought it, but I added a separate one for the extra fans.
I am getting this I have watched every video about this but to no avail I don’t understand what to connect at the back
Can you remove the stock rgb strip from the case?
I believe so.
hello i have the h510i case and it has a hub and 2 fans and 2 rgb leds now i wanna but the same kit to help with the air flow .if i bought this can i connect the two hubs ?
ii dont know if you will see this but can I just buy the led strips with the h510 and not need to buy anything else?
You need something to plug the LED strips into.
I have an h510 elite which has the hue 2 but the led strip was not connected and there is no place where I could connect it please help
Not sure.
do we connect anything to the motherboard from hue controller? im confused how the software identifies, I have h510i now and I cant seem to control with NZXT Cam software, can you please help.
yes, usb connection.
Is there a way to just plug these in and use them with the NZXT software at all?
If you plug in via USB the software can see them.
Will you be able to do the same without the hue2 controller, i am looking to buy this case but i dont wanna spend tons of cash on the hue 2 device.
Hi,
I have contacted a NZXT member regarding the need of getting one Hue controller, he told me that the one that includes the H210i is enough to cope with the Kraken, AER fan and the led strips. But you said it won´t be enough, what am I missing here?
Thanks for answering!
magrinday He has some mighty magic I don’t understand! Ask him for the set up steps and an example of a system set up that way.
@@JilesMcCoy Will do, and I´ll let you know his reply.
Hi there, nice installation guide and as I have the same case, I'd like to ask a question (might be a dumb one) . Why not remove the original controller delivered with the case? It seems to me that the hue 2 controller can control the leds already installed in the case as long as they are not plugged into the same port (different channel). This would free up a usb port on the motherboard. So the question is, is it possible to "unplug" the original controller leds and hook them into the hue 2 controller and control all fans and leds through the hue 2? Thanks for any advice you can give and thanks again for the video ;) PS: I don't have a water cooler for the cpu, just a stock amd cooler. Might add one later.
Great question! I didn't explore the option of removing the included controller... but if you want to go that route it might make more sense to just buy the 500 rather than the 500i and just add all of your RGB separately.
@@JilesMcCoy Hello again. Took your advice and cancelled the h500i order. New h500 arrives tomorrow along with the hue2 rgb fans and leds. Far simpler. Thanks
@@will_9342 I'm interested in doing the same thing! Just wondering how it turned out. I think it would be easier with the hue 2 hub rather than the smart device which seems to be lacking rgb slots
@@matthewwallis794 , Hi there. Worked out perfectly. Installed hue2 rgb fan kit and also bought and installed led strips on the h500. The price worked out almost the same as buying then adapting the 500i. Also, after removing the factory installed exhaust fans, I installed them at the front of the case. I don't think they make much difference to the cooling of the components inside the case, I just hate waste :)
Let me first off by saying good video, I myself also has a NZXT h500i and i purchased two 120mm NZXT RGB fans, my problem is, I install the fans connect the controller to the molex and usb and the fans spin but dont light up. Im reading online that if you have the h500i, the rgb fans dont work with a seperate hub. How did you connect everything properly.
I bought an extra NZXT RGB controller and used it control my fans. Its the kit in this video.
JDM World so your using the smart hub that came with the case , the hue2 that came with the nzxt fans and another nzxt hub?
@@Average3djoe I am using the smart hub that came with the case to control the led strips that came with the case. I added the Hue2 to control the RGB fans and the added light strips.
@@JilesMcCoy so in reality the smart hub with the h500i and the hue 2 would work fine then? No issues ?
@@Average3djoe I use both now with no problems.
So, I'm still confused as to which lane the arrow is supposed to line up to on the LED strip... Anyone have some clarification?
Did you connect it to your smart device? Or was it a different cable. I’m stuck with these 2 aer rgb fans and I wanna buy the hue 2 for them
I cabled my fans to the hue2 and the hue2 to the systemboard USB header.
JDM World ahhh I see thanks for the help :)
I got the h510i it come with a smart device can I connect 3 Corsair ll 120 mm rgb fans and one of the stock fans that come with it would it work
Good question. Ive never used a h510i case and gear.
what did you use to get the fans plugged in
The fans and light strips are all plugged in to the Hue2 or the controller included with the 500i.
thanks
JDM World, how many fans can I plug into the hue2?
The instructions says the controller has 4 channels and 6 devices can be chained off each channel. SO that would mean a lot. Thats just control though. You still have to find power ports for everything.
where did you plug the hue 2 controller?
I plugged it into an internal USB hub. That hub plugs into the system board.
You can't plug the hub, the hue 2, and the kraken at the same time since motherboards only have 2 USB 2.0 slots. How did you plug them all in?
@@Calafan87USB Hub - Plugged the PSU into it too.
This is cool but you aren’t supposed to be able to see the led lights just the light from them....
I like it!
Would prefer you talk through it as you're doing it instead of music and have no idea what's going on..
On the next one!
Can i connect philips hue to the software?
I dont know... never thought about that before.
I have recently brought the H500i housing and have my motherboard installed after that I connected the nzxt hub Sata power cable with the power supply and started the pc but the led did not start to light can help me there?
Does the management software see the hub?
@@JilesMcCoyNo, unfortunately not
@@JilesMcCoy but I'm talking about the hub was already installed and the case has been there
NZXT Hue 2 no longer works with Windows 7 in 2022
Windows 7? Noooooo....

Thanks my ears are bleeding now
Welcome!
**** CAM
hate the music
sorry, this is the first vid I ever saw from you, but this Intro completely creeped me out. I won't be able to sleep today, also I am sorry but I couldn't follow the video, because I was busy getting a knife and stab my own ears because of this music. Awful video overall, but at least you tried it.
Thanks for the view and the interaction!
And I hope your ears are ok after you got done hacking them apart!
@@JilesMcCoy yeah my ears are Kinda deaf now and I lost my Knife in my room, while trying to knife throw against the monitor that showed your „tutorial“ your video almost brought me to suicidal, but I just found another review that helped me with the problem, so im alright, thanks for the nice conversation. Appreciate to be able to help you out for your future
