 it feels like almost in every second review we just talked about RGB where we have it on keyboards mice we install into system and it's just going crazy but today's videos probably not gonna be any different because we finally have the new Corsair ll series RGB fans so these things all like upgrades to the HD fans and they'll really look awesome but these ones they're gonna look so great so I can't wait to actually install these I'm gonna show you guys all the effects it has I'm just gonna tell you guys some of the installation stuff you need us well because 

there is some some stuff a lot of people know about so we'll just sort that out as well so we have two well kind of six so we're gonna install that into my 468 case RGB case then I'm just gonna see how awesome it looks because these guys look so good so good but yeah let's quickly get into that and then I'll just show you guys as well mine the difference between the HD fans and then the new LL series fans so let's get into it okay so let's really open these up and see what you get inside the box so our first up its front to open this one okay that's probably gonna be the 

connections here we are so you've got the previous Corsairs you've got the sp1 20s well they only had four LEDs in the middle and then you got that normal h DS these ones which had 12 around the side but now these have 16 so 4 in the middle 12 around the sides so it's gonna look awesome it's high static pressure fans you do have a PWM powered and then you also need to connect the LEDs to actually show that IDs so that's pretty much how they look squeaky guys then again then inside here you actually get the lighting control unit so the fans the LEDs 

actually plug into here just like that and then this you have to say to power and then this one connects into the lighting nerd Pro that actually connects onto your motherboard the usb on your motherboard header so that'll enable you to actually control everything on all the LEDs on the fan so you can use that I do have the commander Pro so I'll just check what's the difference between this one the lighting node Pro and then come on their commander Pro as well see if you can actually get more controls with the commander Pro or you just need this one 

which will actually be nice you don't have to buy additional monitor Pro but yeah you still get the screws which is stuck the Newspeak a header cable and then the connection between the two and then just some manual probably read this just to be safe yeah that's pretty much it , so there we go all set elephant or install I took out all of the HD fans they do look cool but obviously these ones are crazy cold and unfortunate my camera's like color isn't perfect so it doesn't really capture how it actually looks in person it looks crazy cool even though on the camera it does look pretty nice in that there in the 

background but I'm gonna show you guys a bit more as well I'm gonna go over the effects for you guys as well just show you guys all the secondary and primary effects you can add spice it up completely there is a there is a bunch of them so yeah it's gonna look crazy cool but then just something I want to mention to you guys when installing just make sure you add them in the proper order so one two three four five six seven eight nine ten it doesn't go that far it goes into six but just add them in sequence otherwise they're not gonna work so just do that and then 

also the only difference between the commander Pro and the lighting note Pro that you actually get with the hello fans is the commander Pro you can actually plug in the fan the PWM fans to the komono Pro and control all of the fan speeds and everything it does have a built-in hub and then also you can connect just other devices to it as well like the lighting strips you can connect though two of those and then you can also connect your all-in-one cooler and then your power supply if you want to as well so it's just a nice unit to control everything in a single spot but you 

don't need it if you don't have the commander Pro you can still use the lighting note Pro and then just connect all the fans to your motherboard or if you do have a fan controller you can just plug it into that and you're sorted so yeah let's just take a look at all of the effects you can apply to these because there's a bunch and they are awesome so let's get into that okay so now let's quickly just go over the link software we she can just go down there from Corsairs website I just make sure it is up to date forget to about just check that it is up to date and then also just 

make sure that your commander Pro if you have a kimono Pro is also up to date so just force update because otherwise it's not going to work with their our fans so just do that first and then you are safe so if you don't know anything about Corsair link it just it controls everything you can see all your temperatures you can control your fans you can do everything through this which is really cool but the main thing is you can control all your LEDs so we get into that the first one is my LED strip so we're not going to focus on that we're gonna focus on the fans so do have a few fans you can choose from the LED strips the HD fans that SB fans and then the 


health elf fans so first of the effects you have the rainbow wave which is pretty much the standard one you can change the speeds so this will change that just gonna fight all of them then they're a lot slower you can also change the clock speed the direction so clockwise or counter clockwise so there you go you next up you do have a rainbow which you'll quickly apply so rainbow is just it cycles through all the sixteen point eight million colors so that's pretty standard one color shift color shift you have alternating between like two colors or you can pick a random let's quickly take alternating making two colors so then it's just gonna 

switch between like green and blue but you can also change the colors if you want to for random it's just gonna pick any random color so it's not gonna be in sync you'll just have a mixed nut show going on there next up you have color pulse so again you have random or alternating so as we apply to all of them so that's just going to pulse in and out of this specific color but on rainbow on random is just gonna switch between the colors as well alternating you check so then it's just gonna pause from green to blue from blue to green so it's pretty standard

 after that we have color wave as we apply that so that then as you guys can see it goes around the ring and then goes from the outer ring goes into the center ring so it does look pretty cool you can do it on random as well if you want to or you can just select your colors the two colors you would want a random is just it's very crazy they're static it's self-explanatory it's just a single color if you want to just keep that you can can change the color let's take pink just because we can so there we go next up temperature so temperature just follows the CPUs 

temperature and change it to the motherboard the GPU hard drive whatever you want so let's quickly apply that to all of them currently it's like between 35 and 25 so it's not really too hot but that's good so you've lucky you'll always note Fiser did you do be sure I don't know so this one is a bit more of a crazy one going on so it's going around the rings and then going inside as well but yeah it's kind of funky let me take this again the alternating between the two colors let's just see how that works so that looks pretty cool doesn't it with the two colors sinking in you can change it the colors again so if you want the different colors you can get that as well 

you can also change the speed so this will change the species to see how that actually looks so that does look pretty cool something different which is always nice next to more key that let's just apply to all of them so that's just gonna flash the Holly Dee's in and out between them so you can change the colors you can change the speed speed it's going to look crazy ,so that's next up we have blink so just as it implies it's just gonna blink in and out of colors doop doop doop not too much going on there and then we have sequential that this is a pretty cool 

one so going from up so back so the bottom one is my first fan and then the one at the back the extractor is my lost fan so it follows all the way to the back from bottom all the way to the back now which is pretty cool you can have a static color if you want to you can change the speeds again next up we have arc we apply that to all the fans so that's just gonna cycle between all the colors as well so there's really a lot of effects you can add you can nice quickie add that the inner circle one color the outer circle a different color which does look pretty funky I've side do like that one next up we have heartbeat it's just that one so if I slow this one down I'm full 

speed it doesn't really look that good but if you slow it down you'll see that the altering pulses first of the Florida inner impulses first and then the outer ring but you can't change that to the uttering pulses first and then the inner ring that's pretty cool next up we have pong which I have not seen before so that's gonna look cool I've said that looks pretty interesting I do like that let's speed it up a bit doo-doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo-doo that's pretty cool let's take a random color I just mix it up completely see you have so many different effects you can apply 

you can you'll probably never get bored of this so if you just create your own ones you can go crazy with all of the effects you can actually apply and you can also do it individually as well if you want only the first the first three fans the front three fans you can link effects to only those three or you can do the ones at the back a different one or you can do often the same again or each one a different effect so you can spice it up crazy amount so yeah that's pretty much all they of the effects I could say yeah that's pretty much it the effects look awesome that LEDs just they look awesome the fans like I said again the HD fans they were cool but these ones are on 

the next labels just the effects you can apply and just how vivid in the colorful it's it looks so awesome so yeah if you want to spice up your computer a bit definitely get these they're a bit pricey but often look nice don't they come on they look awesome so yeah if you actually want to get these for yourself you can go check it out on rebel sake I'll leave everything in the description so you can just go check that.

The best Corsair LL Series LL140 RGB 140mm RGB LED review

a new RGB LED fan called the HD 120 several months later they came out with the lighting node Pro which we did take a look at and when we did that review we looked at the HD 120 s shortly thereafter they also came out with an HD 140 model which is basically just a hundred and forty millimeter version of the already present HD 120 so as I mentioned earlier we're gonna be looking at the LL 140 kit today which comes with 240 millimeter LL 140 fans 1:6 fan hub one lighting node Pro and of course your mounting hardware for the fans and the lighting 

node Pro so there was a lot of confusion when I did the letting node Pro review so I'm gonna try to simplify this as best possible you can buy the ll 140 s you could buy the ll 120 s you could buy a kit that has three ll 120 s a lighting node Pro and a fan hub and you could buy a kit that has 240 millimeter ll 140 s a lighting node Pro and a six fan hub which is what we're gonna be looking at today so I know there's a lot of different options and I'll go ahead and link everything down in the description below if you guys want to you know kind of see what you 

can actually get another thing I noticed is that Coursera also added a kit to their lineup with just LED strips so maybe you wanted to buy these fans along with the LED strips what you would want to do is buy one of these fan kits and then buy the strip's separate otherwise you're gonna end up spending more money individually on the fans which we can kind of get into at the end of the video there was also a lot of confusion when I did the lighting node Pro video on how all of this fits together so I'm gonna kind of break it down as simple as possible each of these fans has two connectors one is a four pin PWM for you controlling your fan speeds and 

then the second is a four pin RGB connector which connects back to the fan hub now the fan hub that comes included does not control fan speed it's literally only for RGB functionality each of these kits can support up to six fans on one controller now that one controller then connects back to one of the channels on the lighting node Pro so you have two channels on your letting node Pro which means up to six fans on each hub connected to an individual channel or four LED strips if you decide to purchase those later so you can either have 12 fans or less or you could have six fans and four LED strips there's many ways to do it it's just however you decide 

you need to do it you can also have more than one lighting node Pro if you just have a ridiculous need for RGB fans and you know LED strips but today we're just gonna be looking at one of these kits configuration of the fans is pretty simple you pretty much install them in your case get them all wired up as I kind of showed you guys there a second ago and then connect them in the Corsair link software now when I first connected this setup to my system I used the lighting node Pro that came included with the kit and it did require a firmware update so I did do the firmware update on the lighting node Pro once that was complete I was able to 

connect the new fans which will not show up unless the lighting note Pro is up-to-date and the Corsair link software is up-to-date so once I got that firmware updated I was able to add the new ll fans into Corsairs link software and get everything connected make sure when you're plugging the fans into the hub that you put them in the correct order you want to make sure that they are in sequential order so if you decide to pick a specific effect that maybe goes in order that they light up in order inside your case so the first fan at the rear or front of the case wherever you decide to start needs to be in port one and then the second and number two the 

third and number three etc etc there's pretty much every color option you could want and of course there's many different effects like rainbow effect or you know flashing of a single or multiple colors I'm not going to go through all those because I've kind of gone through them on previous videos if you guys want to see a comparison video maybe we could do that at a later time let me know in the comments section below I know someone out there was gonna ask so I wanted to go ahead and try it out if you guys are curious if the HD 120 fans or 140 fans will 

work on the same channel as the ll fans yes they will there is a caveat however Corsair does say if you set the channel up as a series of ll fans that they're not programmed specifically to line up with the other fans so even though it's not supported I did plug in an HD fan just to see on the same hub you know in the same sequential order and I was able to get the majority of the lighting effects to work I did notice if the lighting effect maybe doesn't match exactly it does try to fill in the blanks so the lighting will still be smooth across the case but you can't expect the same exact effects to mirror on to the HD s that you get out of the ll fans if I was to have a 

complaint about the ll series fans it would be the 2 wire design that we still see on the fans today like we've seen in previous models two major problems here that I can see a they're not replaceable and B even though they're great for tight places the wires are really thin so if you were to damage them again not being replaceable the fan is basically deemed useless once you 

damage that wire obviously it's not really likely that that's going to happen but what it would be nice to see is if Corsair like one of the other manufacturers we've looked at if they would consolidate those two sets of wires into one removable set that was able to continue and leave the control up to the controller itself it wouldn't be a lighting node Pro and it wouldn't be 

commander pro because if you guys have looked into the commander Pro it basically has your four pin headers for your fan control and then it has two channel LED control much like the lighting node Pro but the problem here is I'm saying we need to consolidate that and have one set of wires that goes from the fans to the controller and let the controller make that decision rather than having to hook all your fans up to fan headers or by a separate controller the last thing we need to talk about is pricing as I mentioned before I left links to everything in the description below because it's a little convoluted but basically the 120 is 

 the 140 millimeter dual fan kit that we looked at today and then there's the same kit in a 120 millimeter variant but it comes with three fans and everything we looked at today and that is 120 dollars us so that's all the us pricing it might seem a little high but you're really getting a lot for you know what you're buying if you look at a lot of the other RGB components that are out there and the quality you get with this the functionality I think it's a great Buy if you guys have any questions hopefully I answered all the questions you guys had but if you have any for me feel free to leave them in the comments section below I will say that I think the RGB that you 

get from this fan kit is probably the best that I've seen to date on a case fan it's a lot more vibrant than well let's just leave it at that if you guys want me to do a comparison review on some of the other fans that we've looked at in the past we could maybe do a side-by-side feel free to let me know in the comment section below.
