How to: Set up the 5000T RGB in iCUE

With iCUE, you can customize the lighting effects of your CORSAIR 5000T RGB mid-tower case into whatever you think looks best.

Make sure that you update iCUE to the latest version before you use it to customize your case.

• Make sure all cables are connected to the controller
• Setting up 4-pin lighting effects
• Setting up 3-pin lighting effects
• Video instructions

Make sure all cables are connected to the controller

Before you begin using iCUE to set up your case, make sure that the necessary cables are plugged into the proper ports in the Commander Core XT that comes with your 5000T:

• Connect the case lighting cable to the 3-pin RGB port
• Connect the ID cable to the ID port

These cables must be plugged in so iCUE can recognize and power the integrated lighting of your case.

Setting up 4-pin lighting effects

If you want to control and customize all fans connected to the Commander Core XT of your 5000T RGB case, select your 5000T RGB in iCUE and click 4-Pin Lighting Effects.

By default, the 5000T RGB comes with three LL120 RGB fans. If you swap out these fans or add more fans to your case:

1. Select Lighting Setup in the left menu.
2. Click the Run Wizard button in the lower left corner; it will detect any changes made to the default fan configuration.
   

Once your fans are detected, you can set up lighting effects for your fans. You can add a lighting layer to your fan by following the steps below:

1. Click the + button in the Lighting Layers section.
2. Select a preset lighting type in the Lighting Type section.
   • NOTE: If you select one of the Lighting Link effects, that lighting effect will be applied to every iCUE-compatible device currently connected to your system.
3. Use the lighting effect options to customize the lighting effect as you see fit.
   • NOTE: The number of options will vary depending on what lighting type you choose.
     

You can also use iCUE to create and customize cooling presets for your fans. To do so, click Cooling on the left menu.

Setting up 3-pin lighting effects

If you want to control and customize the lighting effects of the 5000T RGB's integrated light strips, you can select your 5000T RGB in iCUE and click 3-Pin Lighting Effects.

Each light strip is labeled for easy identification, and you can apply different lighting effects to each individual lighting strip.

To apply lighting effects:

1. Click the + button in the Lighting Layers section.
2. Select a preset lighting type in the Lighting Type section.
   • NOTE: If you select one of the Lighting Link effects, that lighting effect will be applied to every iCUE-compatible device currently connected to your system.
3. Use the lighting effect options to customize the lighting effect as you see fit.
   • NOTE: The number of options will vary depending on what lighting type you choose.
     

By default, the lighting zones on the left and right side of the 5000T are mirrored, so any lighting effects applied to them will also be mirrored. If you do not want the lighting zones to be mirrored:

1. Click Device Settings in the left menu.
2. Untoggle the Synchronize Case Lighting setting.
