[SOLVED] RGB Fan troubleshooting

[Gabipuffle]

Hello! I bought a case with 4 RGB fans (Nothing too special) That can be synced to the MoBo's RGB Header for them to use with Aura sync and all that good stuff.

The problem comes with my MoBo, it doesn't have support for an RGB Header (Yep, I know I need an upgrade) but the fans' hub comes with an RGB Header and a sort of adapter/splitter that can be connected to the MoBo via a normal 3 pin or 4 pin connector, after connecting the "Adapter" the fans work normally but the RGB halos don't light up, and when I disconnect it in order to use them with the hub via the controller they don't light up anymore, is there any way to reset the hub or make them work again via controller? I tried almost anything and doesn't work, neither aura sync or any other RGB program.

Let me know if you guys need any additional info, I will be looking forward to your responses!

Hi,

If your motheboard does not support RGB you cannot connect fan RGB cable to motherboard because there is no header on motherboard, right?
You can use third party solutions to connect your fans. You can use internal RGB controller to connect fans to it. Usually that kind of controllers are connected to motherboard on its USB header. The you can install your controller's software to control lightning. Be careful with pinouts on fans. RGB is 12V 4 PIN and ARGB is 5V 3 PIN. So you have to be sure what you have. Every RGB fan comes with two cables. One cable is 4 PIN RGB cable and other is 3 or 4 PIN power cable. It depends on fan of it is 3 or 4 PIN for power. If it has 3 PIN its speed cannot be controlled. But with 4 PIN speed can be controlled.
