Hi guys.

I have an Asus Z490 TUF Gaming Plus and 2 Antec Spark 120mm RGB fans.

I've connected them to the 4-pin power ports and to the 4 pin RGB header connector.

The fans are working but the LEDs are not, I tried playing with the Aura software and control RGB header 1&2 individually but they're still off.

Latest bios 0806.

The case LEDs work perfectly with Aura using the ARGB header.

Any suggestions?


Edit: I'm an idiot, finally figured out I should look for the 12v pin and line it up with the arrow on the fan connector.

have you followed these connections?

What do you mean? I'm 100% sure they are connected as they should be.

Make sure if your mobo has a jumper switch for the LED Headers that they're not selected to 5v instead of 12v. The Spark RGB seem to be 12V for the RGB. For most mobo's that have the selector jumper, its set to 5v by default

How do I change it to 5v?
Although, I think the fans also use a 12V

NVM! I did not realize there is a 12v pin that should be connected to the arrow port on the fan conector.
