Question RGB Fans Flashing Red

[Haydez999]

Hey everyone. Recently I noticed my front two fans have turned red no matter what color i set the overall lighting too, and now they have started blinking red. The fans are still active, but obviously the flashing lights are telling me something is wrong (pc doesn't seem to overheat still.) Help?

Is this one of those Corsair hybrid coolers which LEDs turn a solid red color when the liquid temp is high?
If not, disregard. That's the only scenario I'm familiar with that does that.

You know for certain or only because it hasn't shutdown?

Nah they are NZXT brand.

Yeah all of my cooling profiles under NZXT CAM say that the temperatures are at normal levels (95F CPU and 99F GPU)

Most people use Celsius when it comes to PC temps - really just the US uses Fahrenheit for much of anything anymore.

So, 37C? Is this at idle or minimal load?
But this has to be idle....certainly not under heavy load.

Idle, however I haven't noticed any particular problems under heavy load either, though I couldn't tell you exact numbers. If it helps, theyre the NZXT Kraken M22's.

That's interesting - I just got done re-testing the M22 on the Tom's small system bench for comparison.

Either way, 120mm AIOs aren't that great for heavy loads but I only knew of the Corsair coolers with the temp lighting indicator.

I haven't had any problems with running anything, I just figured the cooling system flashing red despite me trying to manually change the color back meant something with the cooling.
