H150 RGB / H100 / H55 RGB - How to enable in iCUE

The CORSAIR H55- / H100- / H150- RGB all-in-one liquid CPU coolers deliver strong, dependable cooling and stunning RGB lighting. A high surface-area 120/240/360 mm radiator dissipates heat and a CORSAIR SP120 RGB ELITE PWM fan provides superior cooling performance.

Each fan boasts CORSAIR AirGuide technology to channel concentrated airflow and optimize cooling, against the colorful backdrop of eight individually addressable RGB LEDs on the fan and 13 on the pump head. Control your lighting with +5V ARGB motherboard control, or use CORSAIR iCUE software to synchronize RGB lighting (requires a CORSAIR iCUE RGB controller - Lighting Node Core or Commander Core XT, sold separately). With full LGA 1200/115X/2066 and AM4/AM5 compatibility and with an additional LGA 1700 retention kit, you can use H55/H100/H150 RGB coolers with the new Intel processors that require socket LGA1700 mounting kits.

So, if you're a H150/100/55 RGB enjoyer, and want to control the lighting of the fans, here's a quick guide for you.

Even though the RGB function of the H55/H100/H150 RGB AIO works out-of-the-box via the mainboard ARGB-Port, you can also upgrade it to be compatible with iCUE.

To be able to use the full iCUE support for the RGB function, the Commander Core XT is required. With this controller it is possible to control each individual fan directly and thus create or assign more detailed RGB effects.

Need help setting up your COMMANDER CORE XT controller? We have a guide and a video to help you out.

Please follow the steps:

• Install your COMMANDER CORE XT into your PC system.
• Connect the RGB fan lighting cables into the ports labeled RGB HUB.
  • (Optional) - Connect your PWM fan cables into the ports labeled FANS.

• Connect the USB2.0 cable of the Commander Core XT to the USB2.0 header port of your mainboard

• Finish by connecting the COMMANDER CORE XT to an available SATA power connector from your power supply unit.

To get full iCUE RGB support for the H55/H100/H150 RGB coolers, we use the Commander Core XT controller for our example.

Please follow the steps:

• Open the iCUE software.
• Select your controller on the Home screen.

• Select 4-Pin Lighting Effects for setting up fans or 3-Pin Lighting Effects for other RGB strips.
• Select Lighting Setup.
• Either let iCUE automatically detect your Corsair fans, or manually select the appropriate product.

• Drag and drop the fans in the preview image in the correct order of your case setup, then change the orientation to match the lighting on your fans.

• To assign lighting to your fans or strips, select the fan series you want to edit on the left menu.

• Click the + symbol in the Lighting Layers section on the bottom left.
• Use the options to customize the lighting effects as you wish.
  • NOTE: If you select a LIGHTING LINK effect in Lighting Type, it will apply the lighting effect to all iCUE-compatible devices currently connected to your PC.
