I have 8 Phantek digital halo fan frames. 6 Airgoo neon LED strips. 1 Thermaltake Pacific R1 Ram cover. I'm beyond sick of just how bad Asrock's Polychrome sync is. So I'm giving ICUE a shot. How I had everything wired before was the ARGB header of my Z490 Taichi, connected into this powered splitter box. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Then all items plugged into the splitterbox. From daisy chaining some, I was only using 6 out of the box's 12 headers and it all lit up fine. So I thought I'd be able to just get a Corsair lighting node pro and use it in place of my motherboards ARGB header. So I order one from Amazon, it arrives, aaaaaaaaaand it was an open box item with 3 out of the 4 LED strips damaged... 2 out of the 4 was snapped down to the adhesive backing. How does one even manage to snap bendable rubber? Sigh... Thanks Amazon. lol Sorry, had to whine a tad there.
So anyways, I get it replaced, ordered this cable to tie to the splitter box https://www.ebay.com/itm/372521827376
but it's not working like my previous setup. I get that I was never going to be able to run modes that had sequential lighting and get it to run right and look as nice as actual corsair fans. But I was expecting it all to at least light up like it was before. So far all I can get lit is the 6 Airgoo strips by tricking ICUE into thinking they're 6 LL series RGB fans. I know I didn't miswire because if I select it to be 6 SP series RGB fans instead, all items light up, but only 6 LED per item. I don't understand why ICUE can't do what Polychrome Sync can do. From the research I've done Polychrome is about universally considered to be the flat out worse software of the PC RGB world. That splitterbox should be sending the same ICUE signal to all items like it was when using Polychrome. So I'm at a loss and can use some advice. Thanks in advance.
