Hi folks,

I've just purchased a Corsair 5000d case and am at the point of working out the fans that I need to set it all up.

The case comes with a PWM extender which I am planning on using for the 3 fans behind the shroud at the side.

I want to add 7 Corair LL 120's to the build, 3 at the front, 3 at the top and 1 exhaust. In order to utilise the PWM and RGB of these I will need either a lighting node or a commander pro.

I've also got the Corsair XD3 pump/res and a Corsair CPU block which also have a requirement of a lighting node or commander pro.

My question is this: what combination will I need in total to get the fans working and lighting properly?

There are 3x bundles which come with a lighting node, but they work out more expensive than buying individually.

I have had a look at builds on YouTube but no-one seems to really explain what is needed.

Would very much appreciate some insight here!
