HOW TO

Set Up Corsair RGB Fans in iCUE

Only one fan or lighting strip will illuminate when initially connected to your Commander Pro or Lighting Node Pro.  You will need to set them up in iCUE in order for all fans to illuminate.

NOTE: If you connect 6 QL fans and 4 RGB LED strips to the Lighting Node Pro, you will only be able to select and customize the fans in iCUE.

FOR ICUE VERSION 4 OR NEWER

1. Open the iCUE software.

2. Select your controller on the Home screen.
