One Controller to Rule Them All: CORSAIR Launches the COMMANDER DUO
COMMANDER DUO Lighting and Fan Controller to Unite Fan Ecosystems for PC Builders
For PC builders and tech enthusiasts, a clean and organized rig is a point of pride. But managing multiple fans and lighting systems can turn a dream build into a nightmare of cables and conflicting software. CORSAIR, a leader in high-performance gear, is solving this problem with the launch of the COMMANDER DUO Lighting and Fan Controller. This innovative hybrid device is designed to simplify and unify your custom cooling and lighting, offering unprecedented compatibility and control in one compact unit.
The COMMANDER DUO is a game-changer for anyone with a mixed fan configuration. It directly addresses the common frustration of needing separate controllers and software for different types of fans. The device features two dedicated channels for PWM ARGB fans, supporting up to six standard fans per channel for a total of 12. This includes the new CORSAIR RS-R reverse-rotor RGB fans, allowing you to easily manage and synchronize their speed and lighting through CORSAIR’s iCUE software.
Bridging Two Ecosystems with iCUE LINK
The most revolutionary feature of the COMMANDER DUO is its ability to bridge two distinct ecosystems. It comes with two iCUE LINK connections, which allows it to dock with an iCUE LINK System Hub (sold separately). Once docked, the COMMANDER DUO can manage both your standard PWM ARGB fans and any iCUE LINK-compatible devices. This means you can control your entire cooling and lighting setup—including fans, AIOs, and other components—from a single, unified interface in iCUE. This streamlined approach eliminates clutter and simplifies your setup, giving you complete control over your system’s thermals and aesthetics. When docked, the controller can manage an impressive total of 12 PWM fans and 11 iCUE LINK devices simultaneously.
The COMMANDER DUO also includes two temperature sensors, which can be placed strategically inside your case—one near your GPU, for example, and the other near an exhaust fan. With iCUE software, you can create intelligent fan curves that automatically adjust fan speeds based on these temperatures, ensuring your system stays cool and quiet under any load. The controller’s compact design and magnetic backing make it incredibly easy to install, attaching securely to any metal surface inside your case or using double-sided tape for other materials.
With a three-year warranty and a commitment to solving real-world PC building challenges, the CORSAIR COMMANDER DUO is the ultimate fan and RGB controller for enthusiasts who demand seamless control and a clean build.
