Building An Extreme RGB PC! - Corsair Lighting Node Pro

[@Muphet]

2018 update: iCUE can sync all peripherals and other stuffs

[@totaibi5629]

So i can turn off the rgb lights on the fans? Or at least decrease brightness?

[@ericyoshimura]

@@totaibi5629 yes

[@jayden_2954]

So a controller is obsolete?

[@RymeofDawn]

But the RAM wasn't RGB :(

[@Tracks777]

Good video, stay strong, keep going and you will make it far :]

[@liam_k]

You were right :)

[@harshlens]

Why are you using the HD option ? those are the SP fans... so you should choose the SP in the software.

[@billmaragos2812]

can you provide specs in the description pls? nice video anyways!

[@brodylockwood14]

This case is my favourite has everything i want. Especially those exposed fans at the front

[@kieranwoodward5050]

Why buy more RGB when you can buy a WACKY WAVING INFLATABLE ARM FLAILING TUBE MAN!

[@PcCentric]

That'll be Computex 2018

[@Mrwhosetheboss]

lol @ intro

[@PcCentric]

I'll plan something special for the 'project' intro

[@zen1419]

Intro for that 10 minute video am I right?

[@xcalium9346]

whats the intro music?

[@ThisOLmaan]

PC Centric: Cool video👍🏼 Just have a Question for you.I see you dont have any fans on top of your Corsair 460x RGB case, how are your temps in that Air configuration??? i just Ordered mine and looking for feedback...

[@jlkohel911]

If you want the peripherals to sync I think you need to use a commander pro. Also the led fan hubs only work with the type of fans with which they were supplied. I.E. Sp hubs only support Sp fans, ll hubs for ll fans etc.

[@eetucr]

Is there a cheaper alternative for the case?

[@777Thibs]

My build is very similar to your build. I decided to 'cheap out' and reuse an old Fractal Design R4 case so that I could mess around with a few mods. Putting in the Lighting Node Pro and the RGB controller for the HD 140/120 fans was kind of a pain with all those wires.

[@PCSheepy]

Great video dude. Love your style of presenting. Editing is ease as always. If you could splice the best bits of the Hue+ with the node you'd have a perfect product. PS your hair is on point! Wait til you are losing it like me😞

[@JAmes-no4yk]

Is there a way to sync ALL your RGB lighting? Also, would I need the new fan hub if I’m already using a Corsair crystal 570x case?

[@Mr-Midnight-1-1-88]

nice build. Can I ask what speakers those are you're using. They look very cool indeed :)

[@PcCentric]

[@mathpc4047]

Hey dude! I really enjoy your videos, one of my favourite channels! I have one question : i'm going to build my first gaming pretty soon , and i'm pretty worried about static electricity , can you give me some tips to prevent that? Thanks!

[@PcCentric]

So it's not something to be overly concerned with. Just keep touching the case, or wear a cheap electrostatic strap. I don't think I've ever really had any issues.

[@MazariPL]

WOW! I can make that to my 460X ??? +1 man, great vid!

[@zepicness]

2018 update: everything works all gravy

[@oonoamishereoo9442]

Hi,can someone write it down here what’s the full specs for this computer? Just want to know how good this computer performs if i start buying all the parts for it

[@ethanbridges9211]

Nice video man as always! I'm new to pc gaming and just owning a pc in general, so I know this may sound silly to some but is it possible for me to change the LED lights that are inside my Zoostorm pc? They are currently blue and was wanting to get some red ones? Is it difficult to do if it can be done? Also I've heard pcs you haven't built and bought can be locked down from upgrading hardware. The LED's are the fans on the front though.

[@dimitri.dittrich]

I bought a cabinet like this. I want to buy 3 more coolers to put on top and back. Can you kindly tell me which model I should buy to be compatible with the controller that comes with the enclosure?

[@panku1726]

The node rgb strips work with msi mystic light..

[@file1man]

il update my comments later when & if it all works nicely. $300 spent so far & not finished. My aquaero pro on my 3820 build worked out of the box, was cheaper, easier to use, & does more. I kid you not. Bad , bad corsair. corsair commander pro$65 for control, lighting node pro$52 for led lite strips control, 2x fan hubs ($10 each plus $13 shipping- available only from corsair) & fans HD(3x$28-1 back, 2x front of case bringing air in), 3 static pressure SP air in top case on radiator ($20 eax 3=$60). This is insane for what you get- my 750d case for my threadripper 1950x/ asus zenith mobo build so I wanted good air flow & this is my first ever RGB build. My big mistake was buying 1 fan at a time (ordered 3 each on newegg) rather than 2 of 3 fan sets. 3 Fan sets do come with a fan hub. Because you need a separate hub for HD vs SP fans( they can not be run thru same hub), you need 2 hubs. all connectors are proprietary to Corsair so any other brand fan hub or led hub will not work with the corsair software. Getting the messy, bad picture? and yes, we talked to corsair support- they said a manager will return my call in a few days. Software updates worked for the commander pro but so far, is failing with no reason given for the lightening pro. Wiring is a mess for 2 hubs, 2 control units, led strips needing wire extensions and minimum 2 sata power connectors needed. Wanted to share my experience so far so users know to buy only the 3 kit fans that come with a fan hub & need to also buy the commander pro & lighting node pro. Major expense & major hassles.I will see if it all works . I see others have set up the commander pro without the lighting node- good luck with that.

[@maxrozema9130]

How would I do 7 fans and 4 LED strips? It would be 6 120 and 1 140 fans with the 4 LED strips from corsair? Do I need numerous lighting node pros and commanders or what?

[@RestlessKano]

Take a look at this link: forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?p=923017 7 fans is going to require that you get another fan hub. Then also get a commander pro. with just 6 fans and 4 led you can get away with one fan hub and one node pro without the commander pro. Unless you want the fan control options that the commander provides. I have been thinking of what i want. I think 6 is plenty and i dont care about the added fan control right now.

[@Prophet_4u2]

Hi - gorgeous case - since I want to place it next to a TV... can I turn the LEDs of the fans completely off? THANKS!

[@Zemnis]

hey man i have the same case you do and im going back and forth between getting this set up and the NZXT set up. Where did you mount your RBG strips and do you like how the show the color on your case on the inside?

[@PcCentric]

+Zemnis TV all around the edges. It depends on the case, as I actually quite like the subtle fan lighting, without the leds.

[@Zemnis]

PC Centric ya I got the same case you do. Just trying to figure out where to put the LES strips to give it the best look.

[@jaydenbond1177]

I want to do this to the computer I build, are the LED strips connectable so you could plug just one into the commander pro and run around the pc and then use the pro for the 5 fans aswell? Is that all I'd need to buy to be able to do this? Cheers man!!

[@PcCentric]

+B0NDY yes, strips daisy chain. Then connect the fans to the controller

[@kanearnold8177]

Is it essential to have the lighting node pro if you don't have the led light strips. Looking at buying the case don't want to spend and extra $100 odd dollars (Aus) I'd I do t have to Thanks

[@PcCentric]

Yeah you do unfortunately. Fans require the controller, LED require a Node or Commander Pro

[@kanearnold8177]

ok thanks ill let you know how it goes

Can you turn off all the lights completely with the Corsair Lighting Pro? I've got this case, but I can't seem to find a way to turn the RGB off the fans with the case controllers

[@PcCentric]

+Diego Lacámara Think you hold down the led button

doesn't work here with mine

[@ThtsDirty]

Diego Lacámara only way to turn off the RGB fans is to pull the sata cable out of the connector or buy a lightning node pro and lower the brightness from link.

[@krosstony8648]

wow looks great!

[@zachtrost7906]

Do you need the commander pro to control your fans with the led strips?

[@jeneralgod]

Zach Trost if you want to control both your fans speeds AND led strips. then yes, the pro is an all in one controller basically.

[@michaelhaze4507]

LL120 dose case button lighting control work on 460x rgb ?

[@galgtube10]

Hello bro I have a small problem with my RGB fans (HD 120), I bought a corsair 570X which already has 3 front fans rgb, but additionally I bought 3 more and connect one of the ports to the mother and the other to the hub that was already in my Case, but when I turn it on, they just turn on the front ones and the new ones go blank, why should they? Greetings ...!

[@PcCentric]

+galger GL I assume they are all connected to the node, and you have enabled them in software?

[@galgtube10]

PC Centric no bro i used the hub of the case: i.imgur.com/TCMk4E6.png Do u think if i used the comander pro, it will fixed it?

[@galgtube10]

Buddy I already found my ERROR after weeks of testing and investigate, I saw because they did not ignite what happens is that the model of RGB Fans that brings the Case (Corsair 570X) are the SP120 and the pack that I bought is the HD120 then they are incompatible, Little but a huge mistake! now or sell the sp120 or hd120, thank you very much for the help, greetings and luck ...!

[@da71250]

hi there..can i use LNP with my sp120 rgb without connecting to the commander pro? i mean to sync both fan and lighting effects..sorry for my bad grammar..

[@ThtsDirty]

Fadzli Dante you can use the LNP without a commander pro, just wont be able to control the fan speeds but you can sync the fans with the RGB LED strips.

[@da71250]

nice..thanks for your reply mate..=)

[@fedepcfix]

Hi, i have 2 corsair HD fans, can i control the rgb lights of the fans with the Lighting Node Pro using corsair link, without the commander pro? Excelent video!

[@PcCentric]

+Fede Savino Yes :)

[@totaibi5629]

Can i turn off the fan rgb or atleast decrease brightness?

[@AlexanderHolding]

It's not just an rgb computer it's an EXTREME

[@shazam2323]

if you don't get the commander how do the fans know what speed to run since the lighting node only controls rgb?

[@jeneralgod]

Josh P you can control the fanspeed in your motherboard BIOS menu. that's if you connect everything into the motherboard pwm headers

[@Synthematix]

so the node pro can control 12 fans in total then, 6 on each channel?

[@scarecrow6551]

do all the led controllers connect to the mother board with usb 2 if so how many with fans and led

[@stektirade]

can you use asus z370 strix motherboard rgb software to control this corsair lighting node pro along with everything else?

[@jeneralgod]

stektirade no, you need corsairs iCue software to control the lighting now. Everything corsair uses corsair software. for everything else, you can use Asus Aura sync

[@jeremyteti914]

Corsair is not very good in making a compact case, Corsair 570X is exactly like like the Carbide 400C.. indeed a pain in the ass to build with, a very small clearance for cable management, and a very small room in the PSU area. Had it, sold it after 1 week because when i put 280mm rad on the front.. the GPU is almost touching the rad. Also really really hard routing all that cables to the motherboard and VGA. I've built PC's in Phanteks p400s, NZXT S340 Elite, nothing ever as painful as building in 570X. Anyway, the Corsair Node Pro is a really good RGB lighting.. i will get one once it's released in my country.

[@ArctikMonkee]

I cant get my fans on my 460x to work with the LNP, PLEASE HELP

[@sachinsharma-se1gm]

Can I Know the Components list..used in this Video..as I am also planning to Bulid this Nice video anyway

[@PcCentric]

Components in the desc!

[@sachinsharma-se1gm]

PC Centric how to upgrade an old PC.? Which has an Intel i3 5th gen Can I upgrade the RAM from 4gb to 16gb ram.?

[@dannyschumaker]

do u have room to put fans on the top with normal size ddr4 ram?

[@jeneralgod]

Nah, it needs to be low profile, otherwise you wont fit it at the top

[@jeremymerry7967]

isnt it the corsair que software thats used to sync all the rgb stuffs up? or am i mistaken

[@PcCentric]

Link for inner-case stuff, CUE for peripherals.

[@harshlens]

Lets hope "sync-it" comes out very soon.

[@IAmYous3f]

Idk why I get the feeling you are a much older man but trapped in a young person's body

[@bevanjonsson2284]

Can a 360mm AIO fit in the front of the Corsair 460X? The one in particular Im talking about is the Alphacool Eisbaer 360.

[@honkingclown]

yes

[@Luuk8320]

How did you set up the sp120 fans? They seem really loud to me, i might be doing something wrong

[@PcCentric]

Use your motherboard software to calibrate them

[@Luuk8320]

PC Centric ah okay, thanks!

[@johnyoung6118]

did you make the shroud yourself or buy it?

[@PcCentric]

Shroud comes with the case

[@TheElectBand]

Are you using the sp120s that came with the case? I am using the lighting node pro with my sp120s that came with the case and they dont work.

[@PcCentric]

I am. I'm using this as my main system now. You can get the colours to sync up better since an update. Are you sure you've connected both the hub and lighting node to sata power?

[@TheElectBand]

Yes. Everything seems to be connected correctly (fan hub powered and connected to LNP, LNP powered and connected to USB). The RGB strips that came with the LNP will work, but not the fans (the fans work fine when connected to the fan controller included with the 460x- just with barely any customization). I've done a lot of troubleshooting and this actually seems to be a common problem. Maybe you didn't encounter it because you're using the commander pro? I might look into getting one.

[@PcCentric]

+Josh Richardson have you installed corsair link yet? They may not work until you have, and then configured properly in software. Source: PC I made today didn't have any leds lot until I did this.

[@TheElectBand]

Yeah i have the latest version of corsair link and the most current firmware

[@Yeah_sure_]

I am lost when it comes to the new ll series fans, where the 3 fans come with mode pro. Here is the issue I have.. How is the easiest way to connect the rgb LL series fans that come with the node pro and led strips that I think must be bought also with a node pro connected to the 570X case ? It comes with a fan hub and some SP controller, are these completely useless with the above intended setup? Do I need to get a different controller to that which comes with the case ? I am really confused about this pls help 😫

[@PcCentric]

+True 1 It's a bit messy. Fans go into a fan rgb controller, and then to the node pro. Then the strips go into node pro. Then connect sata and USB to the node.

[@Yeah_sure_]

PC Centric 😎 thx for clarifying . I was really bugged by this. Subbed and liked great reviews!! Really clear and informative

[@AnimeTechs]

nice video Peter

You look very happy and I don't like it. I expect my geeky KZbinrs to be miserable like me, reset everything to normal. This is unacceptable

[@EdwardHilvano]

Hi. I got the SP120 RGB kit. DO you hook up the lighting node pro with the hub of the sp120 to control it on the link software or do I need the commander? thanks!

[@PcCentric]

+C.A.M.P Lighting node for rgb or commander for rgb AND speed control

[@fahdyk6131]

Bought the Crystal 460. Kinda sucks that a $140 case with RGB lighting can't be controlled via iCue app out of the box and we have to spend more money getting the lighing node pro.

[@jeneralgod]

It's not a big deal since the sp120's are 3 pin headers

[@Demontorman]

Way too expensive just to control useless lights but very nice video :) I love this case, it looks way better than 570x and also has very good air flow, I am air cooling enthusiast :)

[@PcCentric]

I thought the same, but in person the 570X does look amazing!

[@ArctikMonkee]

Im not using a commander pro, just the LNP and the 3 stock 460x sp120 fans

[@ThtsDirty]

ArctikMonkee supposedly the case SP120 fans have issues with LNP, they flicker and sometimes don't work. Are you having that issue?

[@ArctikMonkee]

Yes, i called support, he claims its the fans, so he wants me to replace them

[@ThtsDirty]

ArctikMonkee yeah, you're gonna have to RMA the three fans. Supposedly the stock ones that come with the case have some problems.

[@ArctikMonkee]

damn okay

[@jrgen7144]

So rainbow affects and everything will sync with the fans too rigth

[@PcCentric]

+Drool Sheep Some sync settings require the HD 120 fans to work, but yes you can sync fans to leds

[@bdoodle2337]

they should do a software update to where you can sink all of your fans ML SP ETC to your strips nad sink them all together sucks u cant sink the lights with the fans unless its a SP thats crazy

[@KorawanSompaew]

Wow ! amazing

[@mjhieusuper]

This case problem is not support 360 rad on top and limit hard drive to 2. My processor is overlocked to max and heat output from radiator is too hot, if I put the rad on the front, it will dump all heat to inside the case. So this Case is only for looks, mostly idle/gaming/office/a bit of rendering is fine, but going for serious work as bitcoinminer/rendering/foldinghome 24/7 is biggest problem.

[@blkj1973]

Here is why cable management doesn't matter..... No one is going to see it. make it neat sure but you don't have to be anal about it even more so if you are building in a mid tower, even more so if you are running SSDs and mechanical drives. Almost everyone you will watch on youtube doesn't build for function, they only build at least from what I've seen they build for video shooting.

[@jeneralgod]

BlkJ19 cable management IS going to matter if you want to shut that damn back panel

[@filmbenjamin]

wow ive never cringed harder at an intro

[@MihaiPetrescuSydney]

Noooo, do not recommend this case. It is a big mistake. It will be a constant struggle to keep the front filter clean. After 1 week you will see dust rings on it. Also, the front filter is a pain to clean, you have to undo 4 screws take off the front window to be able to get to the filter (and that one is also attached to the case). It looks great when the case is clean but it takes so much to keep it clean that just say no, to this case. I had a Nzxt (non TG), I sold it to get this... it was a big mistake. I sold this case eventually as I could not bear to always see my system dirty.

[@breakaway7017]
