Question Corsair 3500x case Fans

[samuel13098]

I recently made a case swap, and swapped my motherboard and CPU as well.
The setup is:
Case: corsair 3500x
Ryzen 9 9900x
Gigabyte 3080
Aorus b650 elite AX ICE
4x16gb ddr5
Corsair H150I cpu cooler

My question is, the case fans RGB are not adjustable, and they default to a rainbow cycle. For clarity, i bought 3 more of the same fans that came with the case to total 6 fans that need to be adjusted.
These fans are the Corsair RS120 Fans. These all link together and connect to the motherboard. Everything i see online says that i should just load ICUE and it will populate in that program for me to change rgb settings/fan speed. However, this is not the case. (THIS IS THE CASE HOWEVER WITH MY CORSAIR H150I CPU COOLER). The only issue im having is that the case fans are not changing.
I have the fans hooked up to the port on the motherboard "ARGB_V2_3". pictured on the bottom left. Am i doing something wrong? https://www.gigabyte.com/FileUpload...19/innergigabyte/images/product/rgb/cover.png

Your motherboard has 3x ARGB headers while having 2x RGB header, for the sake of clairty, which header do you have the ARGB fans hooked up to? As for the ARGB headers, since you can daisychain them, you might want to group the fans into 3 per header and see if that helps.

On a side note;

I see that there's a firmware update for the ARGB controller on the board. Following that, use Gigabyte's control center and see if you're able to manipulate the lighting using the Fusion app.

@Lutfij
Thanks for your reply. I currently have them hooked up on the bottom left of the motherboard, on the port labeled "ARGB_V2_".
I have all 6 daisy chained and connected to the singular port listed above.
How do you suggest i hook these up? They are working and running, i just cannot change the color.

This is my motherboard:

These are the fans i am trying to control:

Currently they are all daisy chained together (all 6 fans). Can anyone help and direct me what to plug where?

Tell us exactly what water cooling you got (type, model)

I have the Corsair H150I but that is fully controllable. That is not my issue.
My issue is with the 6x case fans (rs120) that are daisy chained and connected directly to the motherboard.
They do not appear in ICUE, and RGB 2.0 by gigabyte is not recognizing them either. I suspect that i just dont have them hooked up to the correct ports.

Corsair H150I not has rs120 fans
If you have a corsair hub, the fans can go there so that the speeds can be adjusted on all of them from icue, the rgb connectors will go back to your motherboard and you will adjust from the motherboard app.

If you remove the daisy chain and connect but a single fan to the header, does the behavior change?

You are 100% correct. The (3) fans that came with the case are RS120. I bought an additional 3 RS120 fans to total 6 in the case. All daisy chained together, hooked into one port on the motherboard. These are the fans that i cannot control RGB on.

The CPU cooler has 3 fans on it that i am NOT having an issue with. This is irrelevant as these fans and pump are controlled using a corsair HUB.

I will to do 2 seperate daisy chains. 3 on one, 3 on another. Looking at my motherboard, which spots should i be plugging these pins into?

 

[triplex1]

If your motherboard has 2 ARGB ports, you need 2 pieces like the one in the photo I'm showing you for 6 fans


or argb controller

Okay, but the idea is to isolate the issue and see if it works properly with a single fan.

 

[triplex1]

If you want to hear me talk about how they will work, I will tell you that the rpm of fans working from icue with Commander CORE RGB & PWM Fan Controller and the ARGB with another controller due to the socket

 

[COLGeek]

the rpm from fans working with icue app , argb not (with controller)

Okay, since you aren't the OP, you shouldn't answer for him.

Basic troubleshooting...see if one fan, connected properly, works as intended. If so, proceed with additional fans.

 

[triplex1]

Your motherboard has 3 ports for ARGB and the 6 fans must be plugged into each port in pairs.



GIGABYTE Control Center and RGB_Sync_Control_24.10.24.01

I solved the issue.
For anyone having the same problem, this is what i did.
I daisy chained 2 seperate sets of 3 fans. One daisy chain i hooked up the 3 prong Port on the MOBO labeled ARGB_V2_3, and the 4 prong port labeled SYS__Fan.\
The other daisy chain i hooked up to the 3 prong port labeled ARGB_V2_1, and the 4 prong port labeled SYS_Fan_2.
I then re-installed ICUE. Through this program, i downloaded the Gigabyte Extension.
I also installed the Gigabyte Control Center.

I restarted my computer and was able to adjust everything from the ICUE app.
thank you for everyone that helped and assisted me.
