I just got done moving my PC into a 460 case and wanted to spruce things up with 120HD fans and some LED lights but the amount of connections and wires had me concerned. Then I saw a youtube video on the commander pro and bought one to try out. With the RGB fan hub and the commander pro, i'm able to adjust color, pattern, seed of fan, speed of lighting sequence and monitor temps all through corsairs link software. 
 
I already had the H100I v2 so all this pairs well with the commander pro, I couldn't be happier with the product.

This is a crappy cell picture I took last night after putting it all together and testing it out. 
 
I'll just say, if you're in the market for the commander pro and want a way to control all your RGB fans and light strips (from corsair) along with setting custom fan curves on your PC using the corsair AIO coolers, then this is a huge benefit. 
 


System specs:
Corsair 460X RGB
Intel Core i7-6700k 4.4Ghz OC
Gigabyte Z170 G5 max (MB)
32GB G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series DDR4 3200
Corssair H100i V2
EVGA SuperNOVA 850 G2
Evga GeForce 1080 TI SC2 Hybrid
2x 500 GB Samsung 850 EVO SSHD (raid 0)

    You need to make a Mods Rigs Post and tell us about your PC

    That looks clean. Digging the sleeved cables. Are you using cable extensions?

    the CM pro is awesome, link is pretty stable and works well, make sure to turn off fast boot though in power setting, it causes some weird issues with link.

    Fast boot is no joke lol I had to turn that off after I had an issue moving to the new case and couldn't get into my bios because it was booting past it too fast. I had to boot into safe mode and then boot into the bios. Without it on and with SSD's it's still stupid fast.

    are you speaking of the one in windows or in the bios, i wouldnt mind the bios part going a bit faster but the windows part stinks, it causes way to many problems with updates and programs.

    Bios, I have windows on my two 512GB ssd's in raid 0 so loading into windows is about 45-60 seconds max without fast boot on.

    go into control panel> power options>choose what the power buttons do, click "change settings that are currently unavailable ". you can then uncheck "turn on fast startup". then click save changes on the bottom. i had all kinds of weird issues with corsair link and evga eleet and a few windows updates when it was enabled, turned that off and not one problem since. its basically like a hibernate/sleep shutdown, it doesnt let windows do a full clean boot.

    I'll check that out, right now I'm not having any issues with link. Well almost no issues, I can't drag the GUI to my other screen. I have 2 predator x27 IPS 2K monitors one on top of the other (no space for them side by side) and I can't drag it up to the 2nd monitor. I have to use the adjustment tab on the lower right hand corner of the GUI to pull it down and tap the bottom of the taskbar and it will auto-size for top to bottom but on my 2nd monitors screen. 

    The crazy thing is, I can set the monitors to side by side virtually (via nvidia control panel) and I can drag it left or right to the other monitor but not when I have them set up to one one top of the other. I forget the setting name on windows 10, but I think it has something to do when you grab a GUI window and touch to top of the screen that makes it go full screen even though I turned that setting off it still wouldn't work.

    Try going into the Windows settings (Win10) > System > Multitasking > Turn off "Snap".  See if that fixes it...

    i have to quickly throw it to my second screen, windows tries to just make it larger if i go to slow.
