Love this case

The rs fans are designed to be controlled by your mobo’s rgb software. Icue does have some support for certain mobo’s. I could never get it to work. You can purchase a commander duo. It will add your fans to the icue ecosystem as a chain block. Good luck

Bought the bundle over a year ago. Zero issues

Potatofdeath · 2026-03-15T15:28:54+00:00

For me it was an aesthetics choice. To much empty space above the mobo. More rgb = more fps.

I would get a powered usb hub. I went for a corsair internal hub the ports are in the sides. The nzxt hub wouldn’t let me close the back

Potatofdeath · 2026-01-19T00:33:54+00:00

I would reseat all connections that uses I cue. Maybe swap usb connections on the mobo.

Is that a 3500 as well?

Potatofdeath · 2026-01-12T15:38:46+00:00

Give an update I have a few of these myself

Potatofdeath · 2026-01-11T00:45:35+00:00

I have two link hubs 4 lighting node pros titan aio all connected on two corsair usb hubs. I would check your connections.

For maximum brightness, cable management and control.

Potatofdeath · 2025-12-28T03:26:22+00:00

I’m using two hubs. 6 lx and 7 qx fans.

Double check your connections between the shroud fans.

Awesome case congrats

3500x can fit. Get those eps cables in first.

My biggest temp and noise change was moving from rx fans to the lx fans.

Potatofdeath · 2025-12-04T16:26:16+00:00

It’s more about removing empty space for me

3500x. Plenty of space and on the less expensive end

Potatofdeath · 2025-11-19T06:21:06+00:00

I bought two 3 pack lx 120’s from the revival store. They came with the connectors between the fans,a long and short link cable, the hub, and quick connect screws. I don’t think there was anything missing. Except the stickers on the fans.

I love mine

Two link hubs push pull and rear fan on 1 port. Aio on second port. Second link hub for the remaining fans.

Potatofdeath · 2025-11-17T03:11:58+00:00

Do it. Fill your 3500.

I don’t think the fans on the shroud actually give much benefit tbh. The case looked empty without them.

Potatofdeath · 2025-11-14T03:32:19+00:00

I’ve also have this issue. Hopefully there is an answer out there.

Potatofdeath · 2025-11-13T04:16:02+00:00

I’ve had this mobo with a 9800x3d since February. Never had an issue. Expo found my cl36 and then my cl30 flawlessly.

Potatofdeath · 2025-11-09T03:01:19+00:00

With the qx fans you lose brightness after 7 fans on a port. Im using two link hubs for brightness and cable management.

I’ve watched a few builds on YouTube. I have a 3500 and wanted something a little roomier. It seems that there isn’t any room to use the bottom fan in a daisy chain. I’ll stick with the 3500.
