I just recently moved my PC into the cooler master masterbox 5 lite RGB, and it has 3 coolermaster rgb fans in the front. I connected them to the rgb header on my asus b350-a prime motherboard and they're a static green. I can't seem to change the colors in asus aura. Is the software not compatible with my motherboard? I would assume since it has an RGB header that it would work.
 
Solution
Not all RGB is the same. It's not a universal standard. Different companies use different ways and different components to achieve RGB. The case should have an RGB controller for that use, lighting being different than fan speed selection.
