AMD vs Intel: We've chosen an AMD Ryzen CPU and a matching motherboard for our 'default' build, thanks to Ryzen's generally lower cost of entry, higher core count and PCIe 4.0 support. These characteristics make it a good choice for mixed use, where your PC is used for gaming and streaming or content creation. As for the case, it's too big for my setup (slanted roof from loft conversion) and I'd have preferred for them to have had a flat base rather than the slope so it could take a 480 rad in the side, not just 4x120mm fans. It's also kind of a weird design overall, it seems like it's wasting a lot of space by focusing on 'vertical' rather than 'horizontal' space like the o11 range.. mind you I can see a lovely spot for an internal 'temperature' display just above the motherboard..... I do like the rear (2x120mm) res/pump combo they've designed for the case though. Since there’s no one way to install a fan as each system has its own unique airflow setup, we’ll be giving you an overview that’ll help you understand how the setup should be while explaining the accessories attached to the fans. – Fan Connectors Revolution for revolution, the ML120s take a lead when our contending trios are both running at 1000 RPM, and by no small margin. It’s entirely possible that Corsair’s spinners are better-optimized to deliver more of their rated static pressure at lower RPMs. The MasterFans would seem to need more oomph to deliver similar cooling performance.

It's about time someone came out with reverse fans again (remember some from a long time ago) especially considering how much glass is being forced on us with modern pc cases. I probably will be giving my modified lights to my sister when I upgrade though. So, I was thinking, she would need a Node Pro (and the included controller) to control the lights, so I was going to give her my current Node and buy a set of Corsair strip lights (which came with another Node Pro), to replace it as I want the strip lights anyways, and I can't find a way to get a node pro on it's own. Since its inception, the LL120 has been a favorite among PC builders because of its low-noise performance and RGB lighting effects. The LL120 RGB fan kit comes with two RGB fans and an RGB lighting control hub that connects to your fans and powers the RGB lighting.Remember that this is for a complete desktop PC, but we haven't included an operating system (as Windows 10 can be bought online for relatively cheap these days and Linux works nicely for gaming) or peripherals (so you'll need to keep your existing monitor, keyboard, mouse and headset, or buy them fresh if you don't have any!). Can I have a table of links? Once the fans are connected to the lighting hub, lighting node pro, and your PC, the next step is setting up the software for your fans. You can do that by following the steps listed below:

The ML120 Pro RGBs don’t avoid one scourge of the RGB LED craze, though: a proliferation of cabling and lighting-control hubs that will have to go somewhere in a system. While the fans and hub both have enough cable length to hide most of the wiring mess behind a motherboard tray or in a lower chamber, the short USB cable that Corsair includes with the Lighting Node Pro controller could limit the hub-hiding options a builder might have for that component in a given case. Next are the PWM fan connectors, which can be connected depending on your rig. You can connect them to an AIO to use your fans as cooling fans, directly to your motherboard, or connected to a fan hub. These fans run at low noise even at high loads; however, the ML series are louder than the LL120s. The ML 120s can go up to 30 decibels while the LL120s max out at 24.8 decibels. Yes, the ML120s are louder but that’s because they spin faster at higher loads and can reach up to 2000RPM compared to the max 1500 RPM of the LL120s. – Setting Upthe lighting node core can only do the lighting but it can only do 6 fans were as the node pro with 2 hubs can do 12. If you want to spend less: Get a cheap B450 board, preferably a board with a 32MB BIOS that's confirmed to support Ryzen 5000 CPUs like MSI's B450 Max series. You'll give up PCIe 4.0 support, but save a decent amount. The problem with this is that it's possible to put the wrong cable on the wrong header. Certainly, they try to mitigate that but ... putting a 5V fan on a 12V header doesn't tend to end very well. Generally, the performance-affecting components that will cost the most in a balanced build are the graphics card, processor, motherboard and RAM. Of these, the graphics card and processor are where you should probably spend any extra money you have. The fans themselves feature two cables with one connecting to the motherboard or fan control unit and the other connecting to the RGB control unit. – Performance

As you can see from our discussion above, while the LL120s offer good airflow, they don’t come close to what you get on the ML120s with targeted airflow, better RPM, high performance, and improved static pressure. If you have an AIO or building a multi-fan setup and are keen on making your rig as aesthetically pleasing as possible, the LL120s are a good set of fans to work with. Personally I just wish they were non rgb, yes I know I can turn it off but seems extra money for 'nothing' and extra cables etc... Maybe they'll bring out the T-30 inverted as well, might even tempt me to swap out my noctua chromax.I have previous model for corsair commander mini and it is working fine, perfect for my needs. I can setup each channel separately, setup curve to profiles or custom, based on different sensors (I have based on GPU). It works way better than mobo software. I had at some point also connected water temp sensor to it, but not used it for fan curves (I heard there were some issues in the past with older model, I would assume now it should work fine).
