Question 1

Can I use these fans to replace the 2 that come with the Kraken X62?

Accepted Answer

You could, and BitWitz did that with a corsair AIO. These are not as well optimized for static pressure as the mag lev fans corsair has, so you may have to run them at a higher rpm or see slightly higher temperatures. I did this on my dad's x-62 and it was fine

Question 2

I bought a 3 pack of the HD 120's which i installed in the top of my phanteks enthoo pro m tempered glass case. However, the front fans are 140mm. Can i use the same controller with these since there are 3 open slots?

Accepted Answer

I do believe as long as they are all hd series fans they should work with the controller you have.  I know with the commander pro they will work if they are the same type no matter what size they are.

Question 3

But do they work with ASUS Aura ?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the motherboard.  If they have suitable connections then yes.  I just upgraded to an MSI motherboard which not only have onboard connections for LED but supports, among others, the Corsair lights so you can manage then with the same software that manages the  motherboard RGB features.

Question 4

any idea as to why these work fine on start up but then when i sign in the to my computer they flash like crazy?
i updated the drivers and I'm using the latest corsair utility tool. please help me out

Accepted Answer

It could be any number of things from you unfortunately getting shipped a bad box of fans in need of RMA, to improper installation, or even some other lighting control software conflicting with Corsair Link.

Try going to Corsair's website and contacting them through their "Customer Support Portal".

I have Light Loop fans in my case. My CPU cooler, power supply and nvme M.2 drives are all corsair. Occasionally the hard drives don't show up for me in LINK. A system restart sometimes fixes. LINK usually plays nice with ASUS AURA which handles lighting on my motherboard, my GSKILL memory, and the front case fans on my Cooler Master H500P.

I have an internal hub that gives me more USB 2 headers, as they are in short supply these days. The NZXT AC-IUSBH-M1 USB Hub

I have an EVGA graphics card. Unfortunately, I had to uninstall the software used for controlling the color on the GPU as it frequently seemed to be the source of problems. It doesn't interfere with the graphics driver one way or the other. The EVGA software would start, but only partially, and when not asked. There was no startup task to disable it. It was bad. So it had to go.

Question 5

Can I skip the Lighting Node Pro, go direct into my MSI Mobo, and use the Mystic Light to control these fans?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately not, the RGB configuration for this fan is only setup to work with the Corsair environment. Attempting to plug into something else may damage the fan and/or the source unit as well. The corsair environment works on a 5 volt ARGB system.

Question 6

My motherboard already has two 4-pin RGB header connections on it. Can I just use the included Corsair LED hub and skip the Lighting Pro Node and still get all the benefits or do I need to use both the LED hub AND the Lighting Pro Node to use all the customization software?

Accepted Answer

Never connect the rgb fan on the motherboard.  Otherwise, the backlight will stop working.  use only lightin pro node.

Question 7

Do you guys know where I can buy the RGB lighting hub separate?  This package comes with the 140 mm fans, but I need the 120 mm fans. The 120 mm fan option only comes as single fan setup and do not come with a hub.

Accepted Answer

If you need the hub then here it is, though if you were to buy the triple-120mm fan option I would assume that comes with one. If you're using this lighting controller then I assume you have more than 2 fans... I can't put links here, feels bad.

Question 8

can i use the node pro to control other rgb elements?

Accepted Answer

Yes,  You can also control light strips (Corsair) with the Pro.  I have them controlling lights and fans.

Question 9

Will these light up correctly with Asus Aura Sync without the Lighting Node Pro?

Accepted Answer

No, they will not work with Aura Sync.

Question 10

Does the lighting look the same on both sides of the fan? Basically does it look the same when viewing from the intake side vs the exhaust side?

Accepted Answer

No. The ring only shows on the intake side. Also the bracket is visible on the exhaust side obscuring part of the RGB effects that show through from the fan blades. As it stands the effects will be most visible showing through the front of the case and then showing into the case from top and back fan mounting positions for most standard cases.
