the commander can do lighting(2 ports) temp, usb hub(may or may not work) and pwm for fans. the 2 led ports need an hub to attach up to 6 fans to each port for a toalt of 12 fans. same case come with a core just depends on witch one. looks like there an pwm hub only no lighting that can also come with the case. now form what i gathered they included the hub in the core for space saving less cables saposly less "confusing"

LC100 triangles are not intended to be hotswapped and triangles should not be removed or added together while the system is powered on. The LIGHTING NODE PRO features a single mini-USB port to communicate with CORSAIR LINK on your PC, two separate channels for RGB LED strips or RGB fan hubs, and a single SATA power plug. The LIGHTING NODE PRO also features onboard memory so that lighting effects can be stored directly on the device and run without CORSAIR LINK (such as while you're in BIOS).

The WORST Trend In Gaming

so looks like the commander core is new and it can control the pwm on the fan as well as the lighting like the node core can only do 6 fans instead of 12 liek the commander and lighting node pro The LIGHTING NODE PRO has a total of 6 different lighting modes: Rainbow, Color Shift, Color Pulse, Color Wave, Static, and Temperature. With the different lighting modes available, you can do some pretty cool stuff, such as have the HD RGB fans on your radiator change color depending on the temperature of your processor and the other fans in your system change color depending on the temperature of your drives or graphics card all while your LED strips display a constant rainbow effect. would link be able to recognize the 25 led from a strip? i only saw pictures only where link showed 10 led per strip??? https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Corsair-Link/CORSAIR-Link-RGB-LED-Lighting-Kit/p/CL-8930001

I wanted to get some new Corsair stuff for more RGB on my setup, but I am very confused by all the different RGB controllers and junk you need. So, I got myself a new gaming pc, and what I have for fans are 8 altogether, 2 should be connected to the RGB corsair pump. When I first turned on the PC, ALL the fans were lit up, but when I started to mess around with the settings in Icue, I couldn't get 2 fans to light up. NOTE: If you connect 6 QL fans and 4 RGB LED strips to the Lighting Node Pro, you will only be able to select and customize the fans in iCUE. LIGHTING NODE PRO features two channels that can be individually controlled, allowing you to have your LED strips on one channel and your RGB fans on the other channel. You can define what device is on each channel with the dropdown menu just to the right of the channel number (you can choose from RGB LED strips, HD RGB fans, or SP RGB fans). Then I found the Commander Pro, which I thought I could get and use instead of my Node to both control my ML120s and their RGB, along with a set of strip lights that don't come with another Node.https://www.corsair.com/de/de/Categories/Products/Corsair-Link/CORSAIR-Lighting-Node-PRO/p/CL-9011109-WW

Use the 4mm or 5.5mm connection rods to connect the companion triangles onto the master triangle in whatever shape you want. To assign lighting to your fans or strips, select the fan series you want to edit on the left menu. Before you begin installation, make sure that your computer system is powered off. Once it is, follow the instructions below:

Hear me out -- A Wearable Stereo - oladance OWS Pro

Either let iCUE automatically detect your Corsair fans, or manually select the appropriate product. How then, is the Commander Pro any better (for my applications) than the Commander Core included with my CPU cooler? But, now I'm starting to see that I might still need a node (along with the other included controller) to control the RGB on the fans, and the all then all the Commander Pro does is control their speed.

The new LIGHTING NODE PRO is our latest RGB lighting controller which lets you easily setup and sync advanced lighting across your CORSAIR RGB components. Up to 18 companion triangles powered by 2 master triangles can be controlled by a single RGB controller.not only that i dont think you can buy just the commander core or node core on its its own i think they have to be in a bundle un like the commander and lighting node pro. (cold be wrong on that thow i haven't look )
