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.

What do I need to get full iCUE support?

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.
