I have the addressable RGB fans plugged into the motherboard. I was told that since the LED Corsair fans are just Blue LED’s, that I could just plug it into the PSU directly. But what’s your take on that? Would that work theoretically? Or am I sounding like a nut job? (Which I wouldn’t be...

Case Fans: Corsair Case Fans AF120 Blue LED x3 Power Supply: XPG Core Reactor 650W Gold Modular Power Supply Cable used to connect to PSU: Molex to 3x3 Pin or 4 Pin Computer PC Case Fan Power Splitter Adapter Cable I was using the Molex adapter cable to connect the Corsair fans to PSU directly...

Thanks for that. No, I just have no way to connect them into PSU since the fans have a 3-pin female connection. I figured I would buy a fan splitter with a male Molex adapter at the end to connect to the cable with female Molex connections that came with the PSU.

You mean the Corsair case fans that didn’t come with the case? So I’d have to plug them into the motherboard? Not the Molex cable that directly plugs into the PSU?

I will probably upgrade it then. I’m not sure what I was doing when I bought it. I was even more ignorant back then. So that’s probably the main reason.

Okay, that makes sense. I was under the impression that the CHA_FAN takes care of both. Forgive my ignorance. I bought the mATX a while back and I was pinching pennies. I believe it was mainly a cost issue. But I might upgrade it in the future. It’s been a slow process getting all the...

There is another cable labeled “D-RGB Fan” hanging around with a bunch of ‘daisy chained’ connections to each fan (not sure if I’m using the proper term for daisy chain). Is that the RGB portion? I was just looking this up earlier and couldn’t find a clear answer.

I figured. I don’t have a monitor quite yet. I was only hoping to see if everything works outside of anything GPU/display-related. Do the RGB case fans require the GPU to turn on?

Hi guys, This is my first build, and I apologize in advance for anything dumb I might say… also, sorry for the length! I am new and I’m not sure which details are relevant. So the main issue is only the motherboard lights seem to work. Even the case fans directly connected to the PSU are not...
