I've recently purchased an ARGB Fan (Asus TF120), I have it connected to the 3-pin LED header (D_LED2) and to 4-pin CPU_OPT (I have it in my BIOS set that it works like a regular system fan), full specs below.
There is a strange behaviour I have noticed, but I was kinda hoping that it's normal (doing a check?). I was digging in my PC, so I had it without power, and then, every time I connect the PSU to electricity, this ARGB fan flashes, it's just a white flash, nothing else. This does not happen when I turn the PC on. I have 3 other Non-(A)RGB fans, they are not doing anything, and 2 RGB fans, they don't react to power as well.
I really wouldn't want to short it, if that's the case, but I am very sure I have connected everything properly and I have zero problems with my PC, it runs as expected, I can control and set all those fans, ARGB/RGB leds can be controlled via software, no problem there.
Sounds like a small issue, but I wouldn't want a small issue to burn down my whole computer.
Thanks.
Specs:
Case: MSI Mag Forge 100M (All fans placed)
Motherboard: GIGABYTE B550 GAMING X V2 (BIOS F16)
Power supply: Corsair RM750x (2021)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5500 (No OC)
CPU Cooler: SilentiumPC Fera 5
Memory: Kingston FURY 16+16GB KITS (4x8) DDR4 3200MHz (XMP)
Graphic Card: SAPPHIRE PULSE AMD Radeon RX 7600 8G
SSD (OS): Samsung SSD 860 EVO 250GB (TRIM on)
SSD 2 (Games): Samsung SSD 870 EVO 500GB (TRIM on)
Edit: Apparently, this is because I have LEDs set to OFF in my BIOS when the PC is off, so I suppose that when I connected the PSU it switches the saved BIOS settings from the CMOS battery to electricity mode and blinks for a second because it realized they are meant to be off? Is that possible?
