Hello everyone I have no idea in the field of rgb and now want to build a new pc with a MSI X570 Gaming Pro Carbon Wifi.
And I don't know if this is possible because I don't know if corsair Icue and MSI Mystic Light are compatible can you help me?
Hello, Corsair and MSI are partially compatible with each other. I have 3 RGB fans from MSI from the AIO water cooling, 3x 140 Corsair QL series and 2x 120 QL series fans, 4x Corsair RGB Pro bars, 4x LS100 from Corsair in the right lengths and the Lian-Li Strimer. I control the Corsair fans and RAM via Corsair ICUE and the rest via MSI Dragon Center from the mainboard (MSI X570 Gaming Pro Carbon Wi-Fi). I could control the RAM bars from Corsair via MSI's Dragon Center, but I find ICUE more suitable. Because in certain programmes the order is not correct in DragonCenter and this can only be adjusted in ICUE. I connected the Corsair fans to each other via the RGB control unit supplied, which is connected to a MoBo USB port, and the fans and RAM are then automatically recognised in the ICUE. The MSI control unit from the AIO cooling system also goes to an internal USB port (at this point I had to decide between RGB control or USB2.0 on the case, luckily I still have USB3.0 on the case). On the mainboard you have a JCorsair RGB connector which is intended for 3-pin addressable RGB strips from Corsair. I connected the LS100 to it, unfortunately these can only be controlled in the Dragon Center, but effects from Corsair are available. I connected the Lian Li Strimer to a JRainbow connector on the mainboard and it can therefore also be controlled via the Dragon Center. The GraKa is from Gygabite, since I didn't want to download AORUS, I let it glow red in the default setting.
I will soon get NanoLeaf Shapes as these and Philips HUE, among others, can also be controlled via the Dragon Center.
My conclusion:
If you want a well controllable LED setup, stick to as few manufacturers as possible, as this way you will need the fewest
need the fewest programs. There are various software on the net that try to combine everything but most of them fail miserably. It is best to choose one software from the beginning and build on it as much as possible. Many RGB products are also compatible via the JRGB and JRainbow (addressable) connectors on the mainboard.
In my opinion, the MSI Dragon Center with Mystic Light is on the right track. MSI also works together with other manufacturers and is in favour of compatibility.
I like ICUE better in terms of the programme layout and the selection of preset programmes or the possibility of setting certain lights myself, but it is only compatible with Corsair products.
Unfortunately, there is no real standardisation for LEDs on PCs, so every manufacturer can decide for themselves how to name their RGB connections or what they should be, which makes cooperation between manufacturers all the more important.
I'm slowly coming to the end of my available characters; I hope I've been able to help you a little :P You've definitely chosen a good mobo for LED control.
