MSI® HOW-TO connect Corsair RGB LED fans to the JCORSAIR1 connector

In this demonstration, we'll show you how to connect Corsair RGB LED fans to the JCORSAIR1 connector.

[@crashniels]

This is the first and only video I found about this header on MSI boards. None of the KZbinrs are showing it

[@Salt0719]

Do you know what cable is the one they connect first?

[@crashniels]

@@Salt0719 it's the led controller cable. It came with my pair of hd fans.

[@souslou]

I don’t even have this header on my mobo lmao

[@96mrsandman]

I've been seeing the question about the cable used in the beginning and I too came here with the same problem. I wanted to connect two fans that were plugged into the 6-port rgb hub, and then plug that hub into the JCorsair1 header. The answer is that the cable is proprietary and Corsair ONLY sells it with the Lighting Node Pro and the Commander Pro. They do NOT sell it alone. However, lots of 3rd party places do. Here is a link where you can buy it (I just bought mine there). www.ebay.com/itm/Corsair-RGB-Fan-LED-Hub-Cable-12-inch-Corsair-Style/372475062929?hash=item56b93e6a91:g:OTAAAOSwVEVb3f3H Again, this should only work if you have a corsair header on your mobo, otherwise you need to unfortuntely shell out for the overpriced lighting or commander pro.

[@jakers5016]

Thank you dude I was frantically looking for it and couldn’t find it thought I lost it

[@bebeseleaioan]

I also need that cable, and I can't find it in Germany

[@chromarush1749]

And I thought I got a bargain getting the 10 dollar corsair hub. Nope. Gotta not include a key piece you can only get in our vastly more expensive products. Kinda stupid tbh.

[@Zokmonkey]

@@chromarush1749 ive needed one for 8 months i just bought it, does it work good?

[@chromarush1749]

@@Zokmonkey Yeah, I had no problems with it. That's not to say that there's no chance it'll come defective though. The real danger with third party cables is consistency in manufacturing. But I didn't have any problems and I'm still using it.

[@c1bav]

Top vid well made. The best on the subject around

[@stephanieclements2490]

I love the soft soothing background music to distract you from the horrendous MESS from all the cables these fans have

[@FAKE-NAME]

Very true.... between my h100i platinum se AIO , commander pro, rgb fan hub, and 5x LL120's the amount of wires is crazy but i still planning on adding some QL140's which would need yet another fan hub and if I want an led port for led strips on top of all that I would need to hook up lighting node pro as well.....the amount of wiring to do all that = rats nest

[@samraymond4464]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I HAD NO IDEA WHERE THE SATA CABLE WENT BUT THANK YOU!

[@Justin-vn5qk]

Didn't you have a user's manual?

[@MetalKroustibat]

I got shivers. It was so simple.

[@ArlindBraka]

Thank you so much! very helpful!

[@volrosku.6075]

an impressive demo a question though for main fan power as it seems that corsair controller was only for RGB did this demo use a daisy chain method or a separate controller for the fan's main power?

[@Wave034]

so the jcorsair1 connector you put the rgb cables in? and than the power cable of the fans you put in the motherboard right? please correct me if im wrong

[@dipteshbahalia8034]

Thank you so much msi ... your big fan 😘😘😘

[@hiney4662]

pun intended?

[@86hands]

Where I can purchase the connector that connects from the jcorsair to the motherboard?

[@17gurnoorn-med9]

Bro i you buy a pack of three corsair rgb fabs there will be a connector included in that box

[@darkninja4826]

So you connect 1 end of the cable from the fan the the fan hub, and the other cable to a fan header on the motherboard?

[@stickyrice228]

I needed this badly

[@edwardk12687]

MSI, what if we have both corsair rgb fans, and the Corsair RGB lighting node pro. is there anyway to hook them both together to control it with the mystic light software ?

[@bryanflores1260]

Thank you very much this helped allot

[@Roadsurfer2k11]

If you plug it in the corsair mb port, aren't u bypassing icue though? I have enough corsair stuff and the commander pro that I want to maintain icue running it

[@alexvoicetravels]

thanks, i needed this

[@mukichen962]

hi what is the name of that cable you plugged in from the controller to the motherboard so i can buy one online thanks ? I have this same motherboard.

[@GhostlyNova]

I didnt even know this was a thing until I just now noticed it on my motherboard and googled it to see what it was

[@colerumpel]

Corsair and msi go together like bread and jam. They aren't the same company but they did partner up not long ago

[@christianhein4822]

On God, that's the most convenient thing since bios flashback

[@urdjshdbehkejshshe7193]

Wait, so the fans represented in this video are LL120s? Also, you can’t use a lightning node led strip at the same time or is there a jcorsair splitter that makes it possible? Also are you able to sync the aio fans with the rest or do they need to be connected to the pump?

[@ishaqyesir7436]

Good video dat show wat I want

[@michaelbailey4455]

Works just as the video depicts. You just have to download the driver in the dragon center. Then it syncs with Mystic

[@yinzassg6963]

Michael Bailey 🙏

[@NetmasterRubio]

What driver? Ive looked and i dont see any thing to download. Ive connected it exactly as video said and lights do not come on

[@MWImmortalking]

Can you use iCUE if you have the Corsair RGB Fan LED Hub plugged into the motherboard? Or only the MSI software and you need to use a Corsair Lighting Node in order to use iCUE?

[@xxtijolinho5665]

I don’t know I am trying to find the cable to connect to the commander

[@marvinpajarin8123]

thanks! this video is good without too much talking non sense xD

Absolutely farcical how many wires these need

[@mrBytemare]

yeah thats why I just can't get my self to install it. Just too much cables all around my case.

[@johnnyblaxxx6789]

They should developed a daisychained system

[@JRose4123]

right lol

[@phil.l.1327]

Thank-you MSI.

[@Kawaii_Imani]

I'm setting mine up now does buying the additional wire still allow you to control the color of the lights or do I need the Lighting Node Pro to do that?

[@primanshupawar5955]

Thanku you brother I want this

[@1204joey]

simple, n clear

[@Taniwha82]

how do you adjust the fan speed? i want to increase airflow coming in from the front and exhausting at the back and top

[@asielski01]

Do these fans light up immediately after the computer is first started or do they need to be configured in the application first? I have a problem because mine is spinning but not lighting (it's my new computer and I don't have Windows working yet so I wonder)

[@HiepNguyen-gz2nh]

Does it work if I plug in the header from lighting node pro to the jcorsair1? Beside 4 case fans, I also have Corsair RGB LED strips, at the moment I plugged everything into the lighting node pro and from that, I connect it to the motherboard (MSI Z170 USB header). I'm upgrading to Ryzen 7 and MSIX470 Pro Carbon motherboard

[@zqgb]

I NEED HELP - What is you don't have a Corsair connector on the motherboard, but only have a rainbow connector and an RGB connecter. Which one would you choose?

[@jessiepinkman1230]

If i had a case with rgb fans and the fans have 2 wires the first one connected to the power supply unit the 2nd one should i buy something like the one in the video?

[@zoltanecsegi1672]

Hi, this video is amazing, how easy can be, but I would like to know if I can use any of the motherboards to make this connection or only on msi motherboard seeing that jcorsair connector. Thank you

[@marco1063]

Is there a software update to increase the color effects? Corsair's program is much more complete Thank you

[@TheExxl]

So i dont need a corsair commander pro or other extra port to let thr fans spin? I bought a set of 3 but i though i needed to hook up the second fan connector to a second hub.

[@Trancial-x-tion]

Can you take the sata connection on the motherboard ? or only from the power supply ? thx

[@david-hd6sn]

From where do you have the cable to connect the hub white the motherboard?

[@EmiVibber]

do you need the cable you plug in infront of the R in the corsair name cause i didnt get it when i ordered a rgb hub does it come with the order

[@skinndawgg9799]

Where can I find the JCorsair1 cable, I’ve seen them online but with only two wires, in your video they have 3 wires. Is it still the same cable they state that they’re JCorsair1 cables but I just don’t understand why I can only find the one with two wires running to each end when yours has 3?

[@harvester7578]

The cable that connects the hub and node pro together is the cable that can connect to the JCorsair location on the Mobo. I noticed that I have two jcorsair spots on my Mobo but only one is the right one. They are very different from each other, the one that needs to be used will clip/ locks in place. The other one is more like the fan power hub. Make sure you do not use the node pro and don’t install icue software if you want to use mystic light. The official name of that connector is HD rgb led fan hub adapter cable.

[@ThatSameer]

Can you still use icue if you use this method

[@matze7651]

does ist works with the SP120 rgb fans?

[@SparkyDe]

Budy is building a pc and just ran into the issue of not having the sata cable female end on the board is that a power supply end?

[@anthonypardo8250]

Hello I have 2 questions : Can I connect a single corsaire HD140 fan directly to the JCORSAIR1 ? If yes will it be sync with mystic light ? Thanks

[@evengreven5515]

No and no

[@ImTheZero]

exactly my question and the answer is quite disapointing. Why cant you just connect one fan without the Corsair device?

[@9strijdr374]

Hi! i have the Lianli 011 case and want to have 12 corsair fans linked, can i use multple corsair hubs one a single mobo?

[@Nico-uz1zk]

do you need a commander pro when you have got a msi x470 gaming pro carbon to setup the lightnings of like 6 fans?

[@zZapStrapZz]

Whats the exact model of the RGB fan hub?? I've been looking everywhere trying to find which one has a 3 pin connector rather than the 9 pin usb than mine has. Thanks

please answer if u can. so i don’t have the usb cord to connect the rgb hub. is it possible i can buy one and it will fit? if so which one.

[@09Alpacino09]

I have a Corsair H100i RGB Platinum SE that is plugged in and working as it should with the iCue software but I dont have an extra slot for a spare Corsair RGB fan I bought to match the build, Do I have to buy this little hub or is there another way?

[@JFizoust]

So the MSI board doesn't require the Corsair controller that changes fan speed/lights etc?

[@Svuatoslav454]

So i got the RGB fan hub, the same one that you have on a video, but my actual problem is that i dont have a cable that connects it to the motherboard, because it didnt come with one. Was it supposed to? And if it doesn't come with it, where to get it? I have bought the fans and a new AIO cooler 9 months ago, and they where in my closet all the time, untill recently i have finally come around to upgrading my CPU and my Motherboard, and now I'm stuck with 6 RGB fans from corsair that don't light up, because i dont have 1 cable. Bugs me out very much

can you still do this with a the Commander core and a Z790 motherboard?

[@ThordoGames]

Hello, I have a question, I have an MSI motherboard, model 2017-2018 B450 aPro. I wanted to know if the Corsair Lighting Node with led strips is compatible with my motherboard, because I see that it connects to some pins, at the top near the ram memory banks and then to a sata connector (I have the corsair power supply too)

[@999_Stev]

Does every power supply have this connector for the sata power cable?

[@phant0m_aa668]

so i going to buy the LL120 but im confused on one thing i cant afford the hub and i really want the fan specially since its a 25$ fan on amazon i was wondering if i could directly attach the rgb connector to the motherboard directly i remember seeing on the motherboard a 4 pin area near the bottom above some of the usb connectors which i just checked to make sure but im not sure if its possible because i havent seen the actually pin look of the rgb connector could you guys clarify please otherwise ill have to chip in some money sadly ;-; im so poor lol or maybe use the JCORSAIR1 connector that you used becuase i think the hub just allows you to connect more rgb fans?

[@RedVRCC]

Does the B550M tomahawk max wifi have that weird header on it? I couldn't find it on mine but maybe I'm just missing it.

[@hyposez1129]

Answer which is more powerful 12Volt header or 5volt? And does Msi B450 Tomahawk max has both?

[@mvs]

wait so we need to connect the fan connectors to that controller and to the motherboard fan header or just to the controller?

[@jadelezzi9702]

Each fan has 2 connectors. The RGB connector gets plugged into the splitter and the power connector to your motherboard.

[@filiplaskovski9993]

Do you need that little hub???? Or no can I use a single rgb fan and plug it directly into the header ?

[@afzalnuthoo1413]

if we used a splitter for each 4 pins of the fans to connect to only 1 fan input of the mobo, would it be the same?

[@ukspree]

@MSI quick question here. I have the B450 mobo that is in this video as well as a Corsair 460x case that has a corsair RGB controller built in. Do you know where I can get the cable that will link from the RGB controller to the JCORSAIR1 connector at? I see how it can easily be accomplished, I just don't know where I can get that cable.

[@konradgotze7554]

the cable is preinstalled i guess. If you want to connect it to the motherboard you don't need to connect it to the manual color change controller that is built in

[@ukspree]

@@konradgotze7554 yeah I was seeing that but there doesn't look to be a way to remove that cable from the other portion of the rgb controller. It looks like there's a second controller on there to manage the rgb from inside the case too. That doesn't have a cable disconnect from what I was seeing.

[@konradgotze7554]

@@ukspree I don't have the case yet but I am going to buy the 570x. But right now I can't help you there

[@Ak_Blazzin_907]

Will my motherboard work if i dont have the JCORSAIR1 plug in ?

[@ukspree]

@@Ak_Blazzin_907 in my opinion I don't think so because the jcorsair1 plug goes to the lighting controller for the rest of the case lights. The only other way I could think it might work is if there is an adapter from an rgb to the Corsair controller but I've not seen anything myself.
