Corsair Commander PRO Review

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 05/26/2017 10:59 AM [ 13 comment(s) ]

You can spend a lot of money on fans and everything RGB these days, but the one thing missing is that each component is regulated by a different piece of hard and software. Say no more, as Corsair just launched its new Commander PRO, a digital fan and RGB lighting controller that centralizes your needs and requirements and allows you to configure it all though the Corsair LINK software suite.

Just when you thought the LED maddness couldn't possibly get any worse.... :nerd:

Don't get me wrong I am not one of those "I hate EVERYTHING LED" guys - I do own a Razer Blackwidow Chroma and a Deathadder Chroma AND I have a Heu+ in my case....

Waiting on the day they just replace the window with a massive square LED, or better yet, all side panels in controllable LED's, hardware doesn't matter, just the amazing panel lights you can control! ZOmg.

Or, maybe make the panels game and software dependent so it turns all red when your HP is low in games.... :banana:

Edit:
You heard it here first folks! Just wait and see! hehehe

Edit: Oh I was late

I was looking for some good fan controller and this one looks really useful but come one.. 75 euros for fan controller? :bang:

It's not just a fan controller. It's also an LED controller, a USB hub, and has temperature reading plug thingies.

The problem is that the Commander has no proper competition that I know of. The NZXT Grid+ V2 is voltage-only, not PWM and it has an annoying "feature" - it briefly ramps up fans to 100% when it thinks they are not spinning (even though they are). I tried to like the Grid, but out the window it goes when the Commander is finally in stock.

I've been looking into an LCD side panel, there's one made by ibuypower but it's cheaper to make your own and plenty of guides on youtube so might be a nice summer project.

Damnit there goes my patenting plan... (jk)

I have to admit that looks pretty awesome though!
