MOTHERBOARD FOR CORSAIR 4000D AIRFLOW INSTALL

So yes, if you install different fans, you'll need a corresponding RGB controller minimum. Keep in mind, some fans in various Corsair series have different CFM ratings and RPM, also, I believe some are PWM and some are not.Ĭorsair ARGB is 5V, most others are 12V and will not work with them. Moved build to a Fractal case, putting a B450 / 3600X / GTX1650-OC combo in the 4000X.Īt that point, I ordered three LLs to round out the Fractal case, and three SPs to round out the 4000X, using these splitters for power as the 4000X's Lighting Node was RGB only. Long story short, I mismatched my 4000X's SPs with three LLs for my 5900X build. Power splitters are necessary to use the motherboard power headers if the fan controller is RGB only. Fans, splitters, headers and controllers I'm a little lost on.

Guessing you're talking about these with your additionals - Īnd if I go with (2) 5 packs of another (for a total of six in the case) ditching Corsair, then I have to also buy a corresponding controller for those fans? So no matter if the extra fans are Corsair or something else, I still need splitters for power? And I really would recommend six fans - three front intake, two top exhaust, and one rear exhaust, for optimum cooling.įWIW, I have six LL120s in my Fractal Pop XL Air and I have no complaints. You can install another brand of fan, but you'll need the corresponding controller. You'll need splitters to use your motherboard power headers, or you may want to upgrade to a Corsair Commander. However, the Lighting Node controls RGB only, not power. But yes, a five-pack of any Corsair fan should work with the Lighting Node included (screwed to the underside of the motherboard tray inside the steel panel).

The fans pictured appear to be the LL120s, however, I believe these cases ship with SP120s if you're wanting to match the existing fans.
