Question Having trouble connecting aigo case fans to MSI motherboard

[jaggy89]

Hi Guys,

I was in the middle of my first ever PC build, and go to the part of installing the case fans. I bought the Aigo C5 RGB case fans which have really good reviews and I have seen a quite a few builds with these fans.

However I couldn't find a way to connect them to my MB. I am using an MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC Motherboard which have 4 pin sys fan connectors, but on the aigo lights I couldn't figure out how to connect them as I could only see a 4pin Molex connector coming from my PSU. In the aigo box there were some additional cables that had a connector to fit the system fam connector but they didn't connect to the 4pin Molex connector. I have left photos below and if you need photos of anything else I am happy to upload them!.

Hey man, yeah there's a controller included. The 6 pin connectors on the fans connect to a main controller which has a 4pin molux that connects to the psu. I'm just not sure if that's all I need to do or if I have to connect it to the MB as well somehow

Hi, That's all you'd need. You'd manually adjust the fans speed. The controller does not connect to motherboard for automatically adjustments, as far as I can see in the provided diagram.

Okay perfect, so as long as it's connected to the psu the fans will have power? and then I can just adjust the fans via the controller, which does make sense because they provide a velcro sticky pad for the controller. I will have another look and reply again if I still don't have luck but I appreciate your replies man! Thank you!

You're welcome. Yes, connecting the controller to the PSU molex will provide the needed power to fans.

Hey man! I got the case fans to work. You was right the molux powered the fans anyway. There was another wire I connected to an RGB labelled connector on my MB, but i wanted to ask - I don't know if you have any experience with front IO RGB lights? I have an aerocool playa RGB case and I plugged in my front IO cables to their respective connectors but the RGb lights on the IO didn't light up. I was hoping you might know of anything I could try?

Hi,
The case has a SATA power cable. Have you connected it to the power supply?
