Here I'm showing you how to wire, setup and install Corsair AF120 RGB Elite fans, with the logic that includes how to connect the fans to your motherboard, why you need to buy triple packs and other considerations too. There's a lot to think about, including whether you've got enough USB ports on your motherboard! I'll also show you what you need to do in Corsair's iCue software to control the RGB of the fans and tweak them. Wiring Corsair AF120 RGB fans can be a pain, but it's not necessarily as complex as you might think. In this video I'm going to show you how to connect Corsair fans and where to connect them, including how to connect them to the RGB nodes, the fan power on your motherboard or how to make life easier with a Commander Core XT. All this is being done outside the case, so that you can see the logic a bit more easily and understand the wiring in a more straightforward way. Hopefully this will help if you're planning on building a Corsair PC or just want guidance on which wires go where and why. In this build I'm using Corsair fans in an NZXT H9 Elite case, but with a Corsair all in one cooler, so I'll show you that too. Things I'd recommend buying to help...
