With such failure rate, the only solution seems to be a Commander Pro 2 with a better circuit board. So I guess I'll have to open a new ticket and will not connect more than 3 fans on the new one I suppose. My computer was not even in load when it died. On my second Commander Pro I have the same settings, except I've just added a small 3-pin fan (0.18A) used to cool the VRM of my watercooled GPU. On my first Commander Pro I was using 4 probes, 2 RGB (4led strip + 2 fans), 5 Fans (3 NF-14 and 2 Corsair HD140) (it took more than 1 month to lose my first fan port on the old one)Īpparently the Commander Pro does not like the Noctua NF-F14 (or F12) at all, since it's always a port with this fan that die first, and now same story on my second Commander.įor information I've never used a Splitter. My first Commander died recently (full shutdown, toasted circuit smell.) and not even 24h after receiving the new one I've already a fan port dead. I was not expecting to see so many people experiencing this issue with the Commander Pro. The thread has been Stickied by Corsair and supported by Corsair. so do your Math! Also see Below Fan Specifications for power Draw etc). Number 18 Not Officially supported but there is no reason why You can not use Fan header Splitter cables on the Commander Pro (note there is a 1A limitation per fan header and a 4.5A limitation for the entire unit (including it's MCU). Not Officially supported but there is no reason why you can not use Fan header Splitter cables but its been noted triple fan splitters cause issues)Īnd in the 'Some Basic Questions Answered.' section this includes its MCU as well as a 1a limit per fan header. Number 1, Sata Powered with 4.5a Limit for the entire unit. see if you get the same direct advice I requested and indeed used in my Faq thread
#Commander one pro free
used the splitters where needed, 4 Commander Pro's in my house and all work fineįeel free to message Corsair. Ultimately I asked questions prior to plugging anything in as I understood there may be limitations in how I wanted to bend the rules and did not want to risk any damage. this includes its MCU amongst other bits of electrickery and wizardry doing their own little thing 11.4V to 12.6V at 1A per port(4.5A combined)Ĥ.5a is for the entire unit. That's a lot of 6's lol Edited Septemby Zotty
you can also daisy chain upto 6 Corsair LED strips and have control of all 6 (and no more) strips in iCue per LED channel on both the Commander Pro and Lighting Node Pro and only 6 can be controlled per hub in iCue. this plugs into one of the Commander Pro's LED channels. Should also be noted that part of it's eco system is the RGB Fan LED Hub. there are people out there with damaged Commander Pros because of overload. you can not control any more than 6 individually. Corsair do not support Fan Splitter cables with the commander pro. the sockets/ports they plug into are on the commander pro Some would say the ' CONNECTORS' are on the fans. Could 3 fans (3pin) be too much for one fan slot of the Commander Pro and it damaged it? Should I send it back in Warranty and get a new one or am I missing something? Why could this be happening?Īnd my second question. I am currently running the 3 fan group on fan slot#4 and even though I set the profile to "quiet" and linked it with TempSensor with the curvature 29C:750 RPM, still at 27.6C it shows 1110 RPMs.
I also have one top case fan on port#1 and back case fan on port#3, they all are 3-pin fans.I tried plugging the other fans in port#2 and they won't start.Īll the fans are Corsair and the Commander Pro is connected to the PSU directly using SATA interface.Īnother weird behavior was that on my LINK the fan group from fan port#2 stopped showing, but when I switched it from Auto-detect to 3 pin, it started showing the fan group again but with 0 rpm.
Since today I have noticed the fans have stopped working and when I switched them to another port they work again. I have plugged the 3 front fans of the case(3pin) into a normal Y-splitter (the one without power taken from the PSU) and plugged it into my fan port#2 of the Commander Pro. I have bought last month a Corsair Obsidian 900D case and a Corsair Commander Pro with it.
