Hi,

I have a set of 5 Antec Prizm RGB fans in my new rig https://www.antec.com/product/cooling/prizm-120-argb-32c.php but I have an issue with RGB lightning : you see I sometimes want the rgb led to be OFF. The antec fan kit comes with a fan controller, it has a MODE button on it to cycle through different modes and one of them is AURA SYNC which I use and works ok. I set the "dark" mode in aura and boom all rgb are off.

The issue is : When the computer goes to sleep, upon waking up the RGB sync from my Antec controller to the Asus AURA software is lost and the fans RGB LEDs goes back to light mode. I can reconnect the sync easily by pressing the button on the controller but.... the fan controller is inside my case, I would have to pop open the side panel each and every time I come back from sleep mode to re-activate the sync to Asus Aura... Is the hardware at fault here or is it software?

Any ideas? Not sure how to debug this issue

For anyone running into the same issue, the problem is the Antec Prizm controller, it's not able to keep sync while turning on/off the computer.

The solution for me was to purchase a new fan controller to replace the Antec one. My only issue was to find a controller that supports both ARGB and PWM connectors, I finally found this 15$ controller on Amazon which supports both : https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B08GCD71CG

I hope this helps someone.
