Help with iCUE

[Dzerx]

Just had my new desktop arrive and having some issues with iCUE not picking up my extra ARGB fans for some reason. The fans are all lit-up a pink-brown colour, but I'm unable to coordinate or change colours as they're not showing in iCUE itself. The only things showing within iCUE are "ICUE LINK TITAN 360 RX, ICUE LINK RX RGB, ICUE LINK SYSTEM HUB, VENGEANCE RGB DDR5".

I could be wrong, but I don't think the RS fans come with a controller, so they may be controlled by the motherboard software instead.

We normally recommend sticking to one type of fan / fan platform - so either all RS or all RX - to avoid this sort of mismatch.

Ignore that, as I've realised you've got RS fans with the case, so there should either be a controller included with the case already, or all 6 case fans are controlled via motherboard software (or 3rd party software like SignalRGB)...

Do you have more than one controller listed in iCUE?

Here's how ICUE looks.

Edit:
I've just noticed I had 'GCC' pre-installed which is the Gigabyte control centre. Soon as I clicked on that the other lights ARGB Fans lit-up a different colour meaning you might be right in that they're controlled via motherboard. Strange as I'd of thought they'd work with iCUE ngl.

The RS fans are the 'basic' fans, so are usually motherboard controlled, but at least they're daisy-chainable now, so don't need lots of splitters. The RX are the premium fans using the iCUE LINK ecosystem.

If the case came with RX fans it'd be £50 more expensive - but you could have ordered an RX fan kit which would have connected to iCUE with the cooler...but then the original 3 case fans would still have been RS fans.

I ordered a case without any fans, so I knew they'd all be matching - but that's the expensive way to do it

yeah lesson learned. I've managed to change the RGB to something I like either way though so I appreciate the assist lol.
