RGBpx and LED fans (corsair QL fans)

Thursday, September 10th 2020, 10:30pm

RGBpx can have devices with total of 90 led on once channel
Corsair QL fans have 34 leds each fan -> max two of these on one RGBpx channel -> 2 x 34 = 68 leds
max 90 leds - 68 leds on fans = 22 free to be used by other devices ? (If using splitty4 one might have to diy an connector to rgb port 3 and 4 that somehow finish corsair 'loop' before add more leds to this channel ?)

Question -> can one connect ledstrip 22 leds on same channel as fans -> total 90 leds. How to manage this about connection?

RGB LED 5 mm for RGB splitty3 -> what happens if have led strip desolder one led on ledstrip and solder this 5 mm to led strip and thus use it with RGBpx devices ? Doable? Need 6 x rgb leds for aqua watertank.

Yes, this is possilbe, if the LED Strip is compatible with RGBpx System (The LED Strip must use WS2812B LEDs).
You have to solder a diy Connector to RGB Port 3 on the Splitty4.

RGB LED 5 mm for RGB splitty3
This is a analogue 12V LED, and is NOT compatible with the RGBpx System.
RGBpx requires Digital adressable 5V LEDs compatible with WS2812B Standard.

Was thinking about to replace one of leds on compatible led strip with "RGB LED 5 mm for RGB splitty3"

Found an RGB adressable 5V LEDS 5 mm that can be used -> https://smdua.in.ua/image/pdf/WS2812D-F5.pdf
should be compatible with WS2812B standard

i had a question tying in to this question.
could you use a different corsair RGB fan for the remaining 22 controllable led's (like a LL or ML) as well then?
i was under the impression you connected 1 type of device and can't or shouldn't mix fan types (2 QL and a LL, or 2LL's or a QL), please do say if i'm mistaken.
