Corsair iCUE COMMANDER CORE XT, Digital Fan Speed and RGB Lighting Controller (Control up to Six PWM Case Fans and 264 RGB LEDs, Zero RPM Mode, Temperature Monitoring, Easy Installation) Black

The command core is easy to install and does have a magnetic back so should stick to most metal cases there is a bit of a issue when using it with Icue software as it can sometimes just stop working but that is the software issue not the command core itself the fans continue to work it mostly seems to affect the RGB side of the device but you get that with icue if you use certain test suits or certain hardware monitor software it is on the pricy side considering it still needs you to have the software to even use this along with the hardware doesn’t seem to work with nzxt single frame 360mm fans the RGB side at least the fans worked but could not get the RGB to work but does seem to work with all Corsair fans which is what I am now using

I recently installed and used the Corsair iCUE COMMANDER CORE XT, and here’s a detailed review of my experience. Installation Experience Ease of Setup: The setup process for the COMMANDER CORE XT was straightforward. The unit comes with clear instructions, and the Corsair iCUE software simplifies the connection and management of devices. The user-friendly interface allows for easy control over fan speeds, RGB lighting, and system monitoring, making the installation process relatively hassle-free. Adhesion and Mounting Issues: A notable issue I encountered was the lack of strong adhesion from the built-in magnetic strip. The magnets are not particularly strong, which resulted in the unit not adhering firmly to the case, especially on less metallic or uneven surfaces. To address this, I used additional mounting solutions like double-sided tape or zip ties to ensure the COMMANDER CORE XT stayed securely in place. While this extra step was a bit inconvenient, it was necessary for a stable installation. Performance and Features Fan and RGB Control: Once installed, the performance of the COMMANDER CORE XT was impressive. I paired it with six Corsair LL120 RGB 120mm Dual Light Loop PWM fans, and the results were fantastic. The unit provides precise control over fan speeds and synchronization of RGB lighting, allowing for a cohesive and visually striking setup. The ability to power and control six fans and six ARGB devices from a single hub is a significant advantage, offering extensive customization options. Software Integration: The iCUE software integration is one of the standout features of the COMMANDER CORE XT. It offers a comprehensive suite of tools for customization and system monitoring. The software allows for precise adjustments to fan speeds, helping to achieve an optimal balance between cooling performance and noise levels. Additionally, the real-time monitoring of temperatures and system status is highly beneficial for maintaining system health and performance. RGB Effects Visual Impact: The RGB effects, especially when paired with the six Corsair LL120 RGB fans, are stunning. The dual light loop design of these fans creates dynamic and immersive lighting patterns that can be fully customized through the iCUE software. Whether it’s static colors, gradients, or complex lighting sequences, the COMMANDER CORE XT handles it all seamlessly, making the visual impact of my build truly standout. Overall Impression Despite the minor adhesion issue with the magnetic strip, the Corsair iCUE COMMANDER CORE XT is an excellent addition to any PC build. The ease of setup, combined with the extensive control over fans and RGB lighting, makes it a highly valuable component for enthusiasts. The vibrant RGB effects, especially when used with multiple Corsair LL120 fans, add significant visual appeal to the build. The fact that it can power and control six fans and six ARGB devices from a single hub is particularly impressive, providing extensive customization options. If you encounter the same adhesion problem, I recommend using stronger mounting alternatives to ensure the unit remains securely in place.

Good value for money and trouble free issues.

This was a live saver when it came to installing fans, it made is very easy to install the fans and makes it even easier to control them all at the same time through the ICUE software. The price is a little steep but for me, it was worth paying as it helped a bunch. If you have Corsair fans and want to gain control over all of them, I’d get this, very helpful and nifty device

If you want to add Corsair RGB fans to a case then this is the product for you, if you want to add Corsair (non) RGB fans then go for the Commander Pro. It plugs into a USB 2.0 on the motherboard and also has a pass through to daisy chain another USB 2.0 device, ICUE software is easy to use to set up fan curves and lighting. You can connect 6 Corsair RGB fans directly but you can add more with adapter cables for ARGB (non) Corsair fans, it is also magnetic and stays where you put it. 10/10 Nice one Corsair.

Hard to get hold of now they have beenb replaced with the Corsair link system but if like me you have the older style fans this works perfectly, connecting to iCue to allow you to set fan curves and control the LED colours. I bought a 'like new' one. The box had been torn but the device was like new and had all the connecting cables and temp sensors in the box. Really pleased to find this.

Got this Commander Core XT to manually set the fan speeds to keep pc cooler. Works extremely well though not easy to work out to start with but with time became easier to setup how i want fan speeds. Also like that you can use the 2 temperature gauges supplied to keep check on different temps within the case, gpu etc. Added bonus, is that there are extra light settings for the fans compared to the standard node that comes with the 2 ll140 fans that i have. You can therefore set each fan lighting independently of the other as well as the fan speeds. Overall, great value for money

It's good, it works really well with iCue, and Corsair knows this so they can charge a small fortune for it.

全てCORSAIRと言う訳にも行きませんので、まだまだ現役だと思うのですが、 CORSAIRが生産終了しているので、在庫次第。 本格水冷等を使っていますので、使い勝手はとても良いです。 ソフトウェアの更新がいつまで続くかは、わかりませんが。

CORSAIR iCUE COMMANDER CORE XT. I rarely write reviews because so many others do so. However, I am so impressed with this little device I just had to. For Christmas, I received a new Corsair 4000X RGB PC case in white along with an extra set of three Corsair RGB fans to fill out the case. So I moved the "guts" of my old PC into its new case. I then needed to purchase a fan/RGB controller for the six fans I now had. 15 connections needed to be made. Six PWM fan, six RGB, two temperature probes and one SATA power connection. The back of the body is magnetized and attaches neatly to the wire tray. After downloading and installing the software from the Corsair site, I ran the program. It is fairly intuitive and after a while I had all my fans and RGB set pretty much the way I wanted. There's a lot to play with here. Then I started to "look around" to see what other features the Commander XT had to offer. WOW! I never thought a fan/RGB controller would offer so much PC monitoring information! Setting up the "Dashboard", you click on the 4 tile icon near the upper right corner of the screen. Then turn on everything you want to monitor. Not only can you monitor and adjust the case fans but the two temperature probes show the temps of the air at the positions you installed them. I can now see the intake and exhaust temps. I can look at my Processor, DRAM, Motherboard, GPU and HDD/SSD items showing temps and processes. All this from a fan/RGB controller?!?! WOW! Corsair really hit it out of the park with this device. I cannot find anything to dislike about this device. Just BUY IT!

I ordered the Commander Core XT to replace a generic fan hub and the existing RGB hub which was malfunctioning. The XT combines both into a single unit allowing for better organization and cable management. The unit is magnetic and sticks to the case easily and sticks quite strongly. Although it comes with double sided tape in the box it wasn't needed. The installation was extremely simple, even a noob like me to do it. Simply plug one cable into the USB 2.0 header on the motherboard and the power cable to a SATA power connector from the PSU and voila! The CC XT controls 6 RGB fans and was instantly detected in iCue software, no fiddling was needed in iCue at all. All I had to do was set up the RGB as I wanted, set up a custom fan curve from within iCue and it was all done. 10/10 would buy again.

Accessorio perfetto per collegare tutti i dispositivi Ique del sistema , tutto funziona alla perfezione ed è possibile regolare ogni componente .
