This was an impressive demonstration of the abilities of the Corsair Commander Pro but it also leads us to a minor confession. By installing Commander Pro we were able to connect LED lights, RGB fans, the H100i cooler and also monitor the AX1500i power supply though a single USB 2.0 header. Our chosen Asus Prime X299-A motherboard supports the latest LGA2066 Core i9 CPU with quad channel DDR4 but only has a single USB 2.0 header, which limits the number of accessories you can install. We used the two internal USB headers on the Commander Pro to connect the Corsair H100i liquid cooler and AX1500i power supply which sounds like a trivial matter but is actually a pretty big deal. This function effectively comes free of charge but was only of passing interest to your reviewer. If there is a case on the market that can accommodate four lighting strips let’s just say it must be a very large case.Ĭommander Pro is supplied with four thermal probes which gives you extra options for monitoring temperatures inside the PC. You can also daisy chain the Node to the Corsair Commander Pro and can connect two channels of LED lights with up to four strips of lights on each channel.

You still need to use the lighting control unit to manage the LEDs in those six fans, although the controller can be connected to one of the LED ports on the Commander Pro or to one of the ports on the Node. You can connect up to six fans directly to the Commander Pro to control the fan speed profile. RGB fans Six fans on one RGB LED hub Fan control Six 4-pin ports with voltage and PWM controller Fan power Each fan header supports 1A, max 4.5A in total USB 2.0 headers Two USB cable 440mm SATA power cable 465mm Thermal sensors 610mm Fan extension 300mm Specification of Corsair Commander Pro: Dimensions 133mm x 69mm x 15.5mm RGB LED channels 2x three pin connector Max.

Install the latest version of Corsair’s Link software and you’re ready to start connecting your accessories. Both cables are long enough to give a good degree of flexibility when you install the Commander Pro inside your PC. You simply connect the captive USB 2.0 cable on the Commander Pro to an internal header on your motherboard and power the device with the captive SATA cable. This is where the Corsair Commander Pro comes into the equation. Add that lot together and you may well run out of USB headers on your motherboard, and will also have a bunch of extra cables and control units to install and keep tidy. You could well use a Hydro All In One liquid cooler on your CPU (and perhaps another Hydro on your graphics card), a handful of HD120/HD140 RGB fans, a Link enabled power supply and a few Node lighting strips.

If you build a new PC with a bunch of Corsair peripherals that use the Corsair Link ecosystem you will find you are spoiled for choice. The idea behind the Corsair Commander Pro control unit is pretty straightforward.
