Hi all,

After a couple days of finishing my build, I realised the LED of my case (Phanteks Enthoo Luxe, tempered glass) is not even on. It's supposed to have lights on both sides as shown in the manual: http://www.phanteks.com/assets/manuals/PH-ES614LTG_Western.pdf

What did I miss? I can't find anything about those lights in the manual or what cable/s to connect where.

This is only my second build, so I apologise if the answer is something very simple and straight forward.

Many thanks for your help!

In your case, try to find the cables marked "SATA - 12V Power input" or "12V input":

There should be two of such cables in your Luxe case (as seen in the photo above). The shorter one powers the fan hub; the longer one powers the LED case lighting.

Both of these connectors are plugged in your SATA power cable (that comes from the Power Supply Unit). These are the same cables that power your storage drives. The cable/connectors look something like this:

Once you have connected the 12V input to the SATA power cable, the LEDs should light up upon boot. If not, long press the LED switch at the front panel I/O of your case (it should be the rightmost button in there).

First of all, thanks a lot for your prompt answer. That really helped! I only found one of the 12V cables and connected it to the sata, but only the top LED turned on. The sides are still off. Any idea why?


EDIT: Just went through my boxes because I kind of remembered taking off the second 12V cable and putting it away! Bingo! Found it and connected it. Now the top and side LEDs are on. Thanks a lot for your help raisonjohn!
