    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST It's Here! My 5900X / 3080 Ti Gaming PC

    I have the same case and was getting similar funny sound when running a game. Found out I didn't remove the peel on the inside of the glass front cover of the 5000x. So when it blows fast the edges kept making that noise. peeled it off (very satisfying btw) and no more sound. It maybe same for...

    Hi guys, just as an update. I was able to get control of a few more fans (3 sides) after moving cables about. PCS have agreed to send a new hub across so I can swap the defective bit. All in all I'm happy with the customer service experience as they have been really helpful. They offered to have...

    I will give them a call today after work, but I doubt they will be able to do anything other than RMA it. If I have to take it apart which I am not even comfortable to do in the first place, I'll probably buy a commander pro instead of using a commander core. There's a forum member with a...

    So I posted pictures of what the case looks like with the fan wiring. I dunno if you saw that. So there are: - 1 default commander core (comes with the case) - This has the 3 front fans and 3 side fans connected for power - 1 default Lighting node (comes with the case) - the 3x front fans RGB...

    Yeah I tried to do that but the mobo doesn't have enough ports without splitters (its the asus B550-F) for the amount of cores (2) and nodes (3) I have. The thing is they work and I mean they spin and all have colours, I just can't see it in iCue. If they aren't receiving power then they...

    OK so I have fiddled and poked around and these are the things I have been able to pick up on: (based on my limited knowledge) - PCS installed a USB hub which is connected to the MOBO USB 2.0 header - The 5000x default commander core, RGB hub and lightning node are all connected to this linking...

    When you say USB header, is that the bit right next to the RGB hub with the thick clump of cables across it on the right hand side?

    From my observations so far, the pump itself is connected to the commander pro. That’s the thick cable you see off the top, while the 3 pin header is connected to the AIO fan port on the mobo. The AIO fans x3 are then connected to channels 123 on the commander pro along with its corresponding...

    I’ll have a look when I’m able to in the next hour, but that shouldn’t stop the commander pro itself not showing up in iCue right

    Yeah I am gonna have to get a small snip at the hardware store but I’m not really savvy enough when it comes to the RGB thing, regular wiring I’m comfortable with. I just wished this was already taken care of as part of the prebuilt experience

    I took a look myself but with how tightly everything is cable managed and cable tied so tightly. Putting a sharp tool to cut the cable ties is nigh on impossible without risk of me cutting the cables themselves. if i knew what i was looking for, I could focus my fiddling with that bit but as i...

    Yeah the commander pro itself doesn’t show up, just the AIO pump and it’s fans connected to it
