re: Issue with Corsair fans not being detected by HUB in iCUE - Fans work, but no RGB effects

I appreciate the info. I posted on the Corsair forums and got a response. Basically said I don't even need the additional hub and I should just get a bridge wire to connect the other 3 fans to my other hub as it can support up to 14 devices currently and will support 24 in the future.
I also asked about my H150i AIO cooler and getting it to work with iCUE and was told that I had the previous generation cooler that requires a Commander Core, not the Link Hub, to work and then it should show up in iCUE and I'll be able to control the fans/adjust the LCD, etc.
So, I ordered a Commander Core, 2 short 90 degree cables and 1 long iCUE Link cable as well as one additional QX 120 fan to replace the default rear exhaust fan I currently have. I have a Best Buy Geek Squad membership, so once the stuff comes in my plan is to take it there and have them install the Commander Core & rear exhaust fan, use the cables I got to connect my hub to the other 3 fans, and then verify that my 6 QX fans, AIO Cooler, and single QX rear exhaust fan are all linked and showing up in iCUE so I can control fan speed, RGB, & the LCD display. May sound dumb, I know most of you guys know a lot more about working on PCs than I do, but I'm not really familiar with the components so I'd rather take it there and have them set it up. With the membership it'll be free anyway.
I briefly considered buying a newer AIO cooler, but it's cheaper to just add the Commander Core and link my existing one that way. I should have all of the functionality of the newer AIO cooler, I'll just have to incorporate a Commander Core along with the Link hub for the rest of the fans.
It's kind of a pain in the arse, and annoying as the PC is brand new, but hopefully this will take care of all of my issues. I have to be careful though browsing components, every time I'm on Amazon I'm tempted to upgrade the motherboard, AIO, and add some RAM and an additional SSD. But this system is WAY more than I need right now...I can always upgrade later on if I end up needing to.
TLDR hopefully this just needs a Commander Core and a cable or two and everything will be sorted out. *Crosses Fingers*

Canceled the Commander Core, apparently I should already have one that came with the AIO. Was told they may not have connected everything properly and I might need a powered USB hub, so I ordered one of those.
Gonna see what geek squad can do, hopefully they get it sorted out. If not, I might take it to a dedicated PC repair shop & see what they say/recommend.
This is annoyisng as hell.

Just looking back on your specs, you have the best available Intel CPU out right now, and your Motherboard supports all the latest except for PCIe5x4 on the M.2 slot and you don't really need that for gaming. PCIe4x4 is plenty fast enough. If you want more space then yeah, get another ssd. You have 4 total slots.
There aren't many, and by that, I mean maybe 1, upgrade that you could actually get with a new MB. Your setup is very high-end.
