[SOLVED] Special fans aren't working

[Corionreed]

Hey so I just built my first pc. Everything is working great. Temps are good, the only problem I'm having having is that the LEDs on my fans aren't working. I thought I found the problem, being that i had to connect the a controller box to the power supply but whenever I do that the pc then won't even turn on. I know that if the LEDs are my only problem then I shouldn't really care but I paid a little extra for the fans for the LEDs it would be amazing if they worked.

Would love some help on this.

Here are the specs just in case one of these are conflicting with it:

Power supply: corsair cx650 bronze 80+ semi modular
Cpu: ryzen 3 3200g

Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix B450-F

RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 16GB

Storage: crucial mx500 500gb ssd and Seagate barracuda 2tb hdd

Fans: Apevia FR412L2S-RGB Frostblade 120mm

Because I can't see Apevia has the manual for the RGB fan so that I can't figure out how to connect the fan with hub or into the MB.

But you need to know the RGB fan has two connectors, one is for power which you can connect to the hub or to the MB fan_header. Other one is for the RGB light which you can connect into the hub, but not into the MB RGB connector, because the fan is aRGB (5V/D/G) type, the MB has 4-pin RGB Header ( 12V/G/R/B). Don't mix up the aRGB (5V/D/G, 3pin) and the regular RGB (12V/G/R/B, 4pin).

Next you need to make sure don't over load either the fan_header and the RGB header. For the regular fan_header, it can support up to 1.0 Amp usually ( I can't see they list in the manual), the RGB header can support up to 3.0 Amp. Check the MB manual page 1-17/1-18.

that controller box looks like one like UpHere use, or similar where all fans plug into that (as its probably propitory conections) and they have to be in order, so need to plug fan 1 into 1, 2 into 2 and so on.. miss one and it throws whole line off.. and then that itself most likely connects direct to Molex or Sata power source, and if the controller works you'll be doing good (as I've bought UpHere brand and mine was junk(controller wise) so it could be you have the fans not plugged into he controller in order (starting at 1.. )

how are the fans even spinning if the lights are not on ? I mean how do you have them currently hooked up? these are rather simple fans to set up as they all just plug into the control hub, and the hub gets single power source from Molex.. there are no connections to the motherboard for these fans
