iCUE:Set Up Corsair RGB Fans in iCUE

Updated

When first connecting fans or lighting strips to a Commander Pro or Lighting Node Pro, only one device will illuminate by default. You must configure your setup in iCUE for all fans and strips to light up correctly.

Important: If you connect 6 QL fans and 4 RGB LED strips to a Lighting Node Pro, iCUE will only allow customization of the fans.

 

For iCUE Link Fan Setup:

  1. Open the iCUE software.
  2. On the Home screen, select your iCUE System Hub.
  3. Go to Lighting Setup and click Run Wizard.
  4. iCUE will prompt you to restart the software so it can detect your fans.

  5. After restarting, return to the Home screen and confirm that all fans are recognized.

    • NOTE: If you select a LIGHTING LINK effect in Lighting Type, it will apply the lighting effect to all iCUE-compatible devices currently connected to your PC.

For ARGB Fans:

You will want to first identify how the fans are connected to the system. 

If the fans are connected to a Commander Duo, follow the steps for setting up the fans in the Quick Start Guide here: https://www.corsair.com/us/en/explorer/diy-builder/accessories/corsair-commander-duo/ 

If the fans are connected directly to the motherboard, consult your motherboards User Manual for how to set up the RGB of the fans.
