[SOLVED] My molex fans are working but the rgb part isn't.

[Spectrum_101]

I have musetex molex fans (4) and I bought a molex to 3 pin fan adapter, and the fans spin but the rgb isn't working.

That's beacuse MOLEX doesn't support RGB, use a 3 pin RGB header, and the fan'll work.

I have 4 molex rgb fans and they are in a daisy chain (https://www.amazon.com/COMeap-Seaso...pter&qid=1582434798&sprefix=molex+to+&sr=8-25)

So would this adapter work and power the rgb?

That wont do anything different, and depending on your power supply could result in damage to your system.

What case do you have? Where did you get these fans? Were they included in a case?

Only one thread per issue, please. Starting further new threads for the same problem will result in thread closure.

And no, it won't. What you're looking for is the RGB headers on your motherboard. It's a difficult issue to help you with since you've supplied no information about your fans, case, or motherboard.

It's a musetex 903 mid atx and it came with three fans on the front and one in the back.

My case is a musetex 903 mid atx, mobo rog b350-f gaming and the fans came with the case (4 fans)

watch this video... seems the RGB will connect to the front where the power button etc are .. Gaming PC Build – MUSETEX Case

 

[DSzymborski]

Does the case come with a manual? And what connectors are actually on the fans? It's hard to find documentation on this case as their website is Chinese-only and very basic.

Have you tried using the button near the power button that controls the RGB? These aren't addressable RGB fans, but ones wired to the case's controller. If the fans otherwise have only molex connectors and the RGB is hardwired into the controller and you're not getting RGB when you're hitting the button, it might just be defective. Not sure how customer service would work with this company.

 

[Gfost73]

looks like from video that the RGB are already connected to the button near power.. and you simply plug in the 1 MOLEX connection to power them all.. so maybe push the button near power to turn lights on?

I've tried but the button doesn't do anything it doesnt even push in there is two buttons the case came with but it is just replacement for the power and restart button.

Ive tried but it doesn't even push in.

well id say its broken then.. there is no way to attach those fans to a RGB header that I can tell, everything I've looked up on the case indicates the RGB are simple and just controlled by that touch button on the top, the Molex simply plugs in to power them all.. the case does seem to come with spare wires, and parts. so Id say if they are not working then the controller is broken or somehow the RGB connector from controller has got unplugged. so maybe look under where the buttons are (inside case) and see if you can see any loose connection where the RGB button would be , if it isn't then id say its broken
