r/Corsair on Reddit: Corsair SP120

December 18, 2024 -

So 2 months ago I bought the Corsair Crystal 570X case. A few days ago I decided to add an exhaust fan since my GPU temps were pretty high. I bought a Corsair SP120 RGB Elite fan thinking it was the same as the SP 120s that came with the case. Well now I realize that I was wrong and that the 570X uses the old SP 120 RGB fans. The Elite has different LEDs and is not compatible with the integrated Corsair RGB controller. So my question is, what the hell am I supposed to do? I can't find the old SP120 RGB anywhere. Is replacing the stock fans literally the only option here?

Both the original SP and SP120 RGB ELITEs are pretty old at this point. I would replace all of them with AR120/AF120 RGB ELITE if you want to use corsair controllers. If not, RS ARGB are also great, but these don't work with icue Of course, the best would be to upgrade to the icue LINK ecosystem, but that is pretty expensive.

I would, honestly, just replace all of the old SP-RGB fans. First, as you've noticed, they don't play nice with the rest of the fans. They are the oddball in the Corsair RGB fans in more ways than one. They are also DC controlled (3-pin, non-PWM) fans. You also wouldn't be able to use an adapter to control them from the motherboard, either. There's nothing wrong with using the SP RGB Elite fans if you want. If you get a multipack, they'll come with a Lighting Node Core that you can use to control the RGB. If you want to control the fan speeds in iCUE, you'll need to add a Commander Core XT to the mix (or ... if you have one of the Capellix coolers, it'll come with a Commander Core). However, you cannot control the DC mode OG SP-RGB fans; they'd run at full speed all of the time, which usually isn't desirable. The Lighting Node Core only supports one type of fan - but you can mix any of the 8 LED fans on there, including the aforementioned AF RGB Elite fans. With the Commander Core, you can mix any of the Corsair fans EXCEPT for the OG SP-RGB fans. The Commander Pro would control the fan speeds for the OG SP-RGB fans but that, too, is discontinued (sadly). So ... I hope you can see why I'd just get rid of those OG SP-RGB fans. Nothing but difficulties these days and you have much better options available.

r/buildapc on Reddit: Suggestions for RGB fan controllers for Corsair SP120 RGB Pros?

April 15, 2020 -

Hi everyone,

I have two Corsair SP120 RGB pro's installed into my case, with both being connected to a respective fan hub on my MOBO (MSI B450 gaming plus max) - but obviously with no RGB / LED lit up on each fan.

Do I need to buy a Corsair branded RGB controller to power the LED's on these fans or can I just use a generic controller? I see the corsair PRO controller is upwards of $100 AUD - but then also see products like the Corsair RGB Fan LED Hub for $10US.

Little bit confused as to what I actually need, to just power the lights within the fans (which run fine) and control the color output.

Thanks in advance.

You need a Corsair controller. Corsair's stuff is proprietary.

You need either a Commander Pro or a Node Pro.

You also need a Corsair RGB Fan Hub.

Connects like so

Mobo USB -> Node/Commander -> RGB Fan Hub -> Fans

Hello. I bought a single Corsair SP120 RGB ELITE fan. I have a MSI B660m a-pro. Can I plug the fan RGB cable directly into my motherboard and control the fan colors? Without any need for the control hub thing. Will this be safe?

You cannot, it will blow the LEDs on the fan.

Literally just did this and it blew up the LEDs, I've been searching why and found this post lmao - don't do it, either buy the adapter or buy an ARGB fan

r/Corsair on Reddit: How to control SP120 rgb fans through icue software.

February 16, 2020 -

About a month ago I bought these fans and installed them but I remember reading on the box or in the manual somewhere that it can be controlled through the icue software. I already have the software as I have other Corsair products but I can’t seem to connect the fans to them. When I put them in I did it pretty fast as I was in a rush so was wondering if maybe I missed something.

As long as you have the fan hub connected to a LNP or Commander pro Led channel, open Icue, select the device where the fans are connected, select Lighting set up, under Lighting channel select what type of hardware ( Rgb light stips, HD, LL, ML ,SP, QL RGB fans, hydro X) in your case SP fans. Select the quantity of fans. Go back and create a Lighting profile.

Single LL120 RGB without controller? - Cooling - Corsair Community

March 2, 2019 - So I didn't do a lot of research and bought 1 LL120 fan, no controller or anything. I promptly realized my mistake when i actually connected the fan. I can't really justify buying a controller since it's just one fan, so is there a way that I can use RGB on the fan without a controller?

[SOLVED] - Using Corsair SP without a fan hub ? | Tom's Hardware Forum

February 13, 2021 - These MUST be matched up when you plug in. When you connect this way you also must download (or find on a CD disk with the mobo) the software utility called Polychrome Sync, and install and run that. It is how you power and control those lights from your keyboard.

so i bought 3 sp120 fans 3 months ago without getting the controller though.now that i finally got the controller i tried plugging it in.but guess what?it won't work, it wont even be recognized by corsair link software.PLEASE HELP

You need a commander mini/pro to use the software, otherwise you just have to use the clicker that comes with thr controller.

It sounds like you got the wrong controller, its probably an hd fan controller

r/Corsair on Reddit: One SP120 RGB fan shows different colors — is this normal wear or a defect?

June 6, 2025 -

Hey everyone! I have a Corsair Elite 240 AIO with a total of 4 SP120 RGB fans, all controlled via the Corsair controller. Three of the fans were purchased about 2 years ago, 2 came with the AIO and 1 i bought few month later; and I recently added a new one — same model (SP120) — to complete the setup and balance airflow.

The issue is that the new fan displays colors slightly differently than the other three. For example, when I set everything to white, the new one looks “clean” while the others have a warmer or slightly yellow-ish tint.

I’ve read that this could be due to wear and discoloration over time, and that fans showing this kind of aging can sometimes be replaced under warranty.

So I’m wondering:

Is this color mismatch common with aging RGB fans?

Can I replace only the AIO fans with new ones without sending back the whole radiator?

Has anyone here successfully claimed warranty for something like discoloration or uneven RGB?

Thanks in advance for your help!

All LEDs degrade over time with regular use. For replacement, contact Corsair support and see what they say.
