    Question ARGB fan LEDs are flickering?

    I just tried out three other RGB softwares: OpenRGB, Corsair iCUE, and Asus Aura. Unfortunately, none were compatible with the fan. I assume for the Corsair and Asus applications, I would have needed to use their hardware for it to pick up a device. Before buying the fans it didn't even cross...

    Question ARGB fan LEDs are flickering?

    I bought a used NZXT F140 RGB case fan from Amazon last week. After installing it, I noticed that the RGB pattern on the fan stuttered and flickered. I did some research online, but I could not find anything that explained why there would be a flicker. Here are some important things to note...

    Question Why Kraken X63 RGB installation instructions don't mention connecting to an RGB header?

    I appreciate the additional insight. I'm probably going to stay within the NZXT ecosystem as far as RGB devices go, since the only RGB devices I would need after the cooler are two more RGB fans to help with exhaust. I suppose I'll need to buy a two more fan-to-fan cables and daisy chain the...

    Question Why Kraken X63 RGB installation instructions don't mention connecting to an RGB header?

    Got it. I assumed the USB was only for monitoring properties of the pump. Good to know users control RGB through the USB as well. Thank you!

    Question Why Kraken X63 RGB installation instructions don't mention connecting to an RGB header?

    Hi everyone, I'm weighing the pros and cons of buying an AIO cooler. The cooler I have in mind is the Kraken X63 RGB. I've never installed an AIO cooler before, so I decided to read the instruction manual to get a feel for the process. The installation instructions demonstrate how to (1) supply...

    Question Does this USB header only support one USB port?

    Makes perfect sense. Thank you!

    Question Does this USB header only support one USB port?

    I'm more concerned with knowing whether the one header can even support two ports. If the header does support two ports, wiring will not be an issue since I would just connect the case's 19-pin cable (which is connected to both front panel USB ports) to the motherboard's 19-pin USB header. If...

    Question Does this USB header only support one USB port?

    Hi all, I am in the process of upgrading my system. As part of the overhaul, I plan on buying a new motherboard (MSI PRO B760-P WIFI). I will have to re-wire my case's front panel cables to it. My case has two USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports on its front panel, and I'd like to still use them as USB 3.1...

    Question Upgrading my system. Will I need a new CPU Cooler?

    Thank you for the response. I've provided some more details below: I have not contacted the company to request a mounting kit, so I'll try that. The CPU I plan on purchasing is the Intel Core i7-12700F. I mostly use my desktop for moderate gaming, programming, and game development. My current...

    Question Upgrading my system. Will I need a new CPU Cooler?

    I'm upgrading my system's processor. I'm using an aftermarket cooler (fan, not water-cooled), but unfortunately, it is not compatible with the socket type of the CPU I'm upgrading to. For reference, my current CPU's socket type is LGA1151, and the new CPU's socket type is LGA1700. In situations...
