Question Fans not working, CPU overheating

[makkafon]

Hi guys. I bought deepcool Rf 120 fans (RGB fans) which comes with a hub. https://www.deepcool.com/products/Cooling/fans/RF120-RGB-PWM-Fan-3-Pack/2021/126.shtml

I'm using a Gigabyte b650m motherboard with Ryzen 7600.

I connected two fans to to the hub which I connected to the led_C header but there is no life in my fans. My CPU went up to 98C when gaming so I shut it down .

How come my fans are not working? Also is it normal for CPU to get that hot with no fans? My case is quite small and using a 7800xt card. Also using stock cooler. Thanks a. Lot!

Verify that you have your fans connected properly. Sounds like you missed something see the diagram from the manual.

Can you show a photo of your system with side panel removed?
Can you show, how fans are connected?

What is full model name of your motherboard? (Gigabyte b650m is not a full name)
What is model name of your pc case?

The header you've connected to is an RGB header and not a fan header.

(sorry about my previous post, I didn't read yours properly)

Apologies, b650m DS3H. Manual link. Will take picture in a moment and upload! Thanks a lot

Ohh, I thought RGB fans were supposed to go into RGB header. So I use normal fan header with RGB fans then? Thanks!

You essentially have two connections. One for the RGB function and one to power the fans. That is what the manual diagram shows.

there should be 2 cables for that

 

[makkafon]

Ahh thats curious, because both the fans and the hub for the fans have a single 4 pin connector.

 

[zinkles]

the manual says it has 2 though

 

[COLGeek]

Have you looked at this?

 

[makkafon]

Ah yes I did saw this one but Its quite confusing since all the fans have a single 4pin connector only (looked 10x to make sure Im not tripping). The hub has only 1x 4 pin connector + 4 fan connectors also. I have a second hub
https://www.deepcool.com/download/pdf/FH-10_PDF.pdf that connects to RGB and the PSU. Would using that solve the problem?

 

[COLGeek]

In this diagram, the #4 is connecting to the RGB header and #3 is connecting to the fan header on the motherboard.

Are you connected like that?

 

[makkafon]

Im only connected by the hub to the RGB header, because theres only one connector per fan which i plugged into the hub, which in turn only has a single 4 pin connector. I have an alternative hub that i could plug into the PSU and RGB header on motherboard if that would work.

yup, if it connects to both, it should work.

Thanks a ton for the help lads. It's working now! My only concern is that there's kind of a pulsing sound coming from it like its not operating at 100% consistently but going up and down (not noticeable by eye), is that normal? Also is there any good software to control deepcool fans on AMD? Didnt seem to find any! Cheers and thanks again.

Hi about the pulsing sound...can you share a video showing this? Also when does this happen? During games under load? Or outside of games under normal load?

As for controlling the fans...
You can use the motherboard fan curve options available within the bios. If you are not comfortable with that you can use MSI afterburner i think to set fan curves and use OpenRGB which is a third party tool to control your RGB
