It is becoming apparent that Corsair really does want to RGB everything. Some people really dislike it, but it's clearly here to stay, and Corsair is really looking to offer as much control over the colour scheme of your system as possible.

The Corsair Commander Pro helps you to do just this. It gives you complete control of your PC’s cooling, monitoring, and lighting. Six four-pin PWM fan headers provide total control of your cooling fans from dead-stop to maximum speed and anywhere in-between using programmable fan curves in Corsair Link. The USB 2.0 headers allow you to connect other Corsair Link-enabled hardware such as a PSU or a liquid-cooler for further integration and control.

We were impressed by Corsair Commander Pro and the way the Link software lived up to its name and linked the accessories together with a common user interface. Once the hardware is in place and connected you can use Link to monitor every aspect of your PC but more importantly you can control the cooling performance, noise levels and lighting in a very satisfactory manner.

If you are into managing fans at a software level and get a kick out of thermal readings and then would love to be able to configure your Corsair SP and/or HD series RGB fans then the Commander Pro is an excellent help. You can re-route many of your lighting options towards this unit. It is a flexible controller with intense per fan configuration (with the LINK software). overall the software is easy enough to understand and works well, and that is a significant thing to mention as I have had way worse results in the past with this software suite. Overall at a price in the 70 bucks range we feel we can recommend the Commander Pro, it works well.
