As stated, the unit feeds of a SATA power connector, and obviously for communication with the LINK software suite you will need to lead a cable to your motherboard USB port. Other then that all RGB components likely are communicated with over an SMBus signal.

Above you can see the two 140mm RGB illuminated fans. This is the HD140 RGB kit including a RGB LED controller actually.  

  • Independent RGB LED lighting: Each of the 12 RGB LEDs, built directly into the fan frame, are independent, unlocking unique customization and lighting effects
  • Intuitive 3‐button controller: Allows you to cycle through lighting effects, effect speeds, and colors
  • PWM Control: 600‐1,350 PWM RPM control range
  • High static pressure: Provides improved performance over standard case fans
  • Quiet performance: Ultra‐thin fan blades ensure less vibration, noise and turbulence
These work very well and are great for using on say a 280mm radiator. You can see the RGB lights from both the front AND back of the fan vividly. All controllable though Corsair LINK. Can I just say KICK ASS fans! Configure them at low RPM and you will not hear them. Then they have the best RGB implementation i have ever seen, and everything is premium up-to the smallest detail. For example each fan has four rubber pads so it cannot resonate to whatever you mount it to. A really awesome kit, then again for that money it better be!

And last but not least we'll be adding some RGB LED strips. This is the Lightning Node PRO RGB kit. The Corsair Node Pro is a dual-channel RGB LED controller that comes with four individually addressable RGB LED strips. The RGB HUN can be connected towards an USB port on your motherboard from where it'll communicate with LINK and this get its configurability (is that a real word?) from.

  • 1 DC 4.5V-5.5V
  • Unit Dimensions: 55mm x 31mm x 12mm
  • Dual-channel RGB LED control
  • Mini USB cable (375mm)
  • SATA power cable (440mm)
  • HD RGB LED hub cable (485mm)
  • 4 Magnetic RGB LED strips (Adhesive optional for non magnetic surfaces)
  • Color coverage of 16,777,216 Colors

Corsair’s Node Pro RGB LEDs again also will be controllable through Corsair’s LINK software with it's own hub, but the LED strips can be connected towards the Commander PRO as well. You'll receive some extension cables and get four strips. Even if you connect the strips in serial (one-by-one) each separate strip can be configured in a different manner. Really impressive stuff.
