Hi everyone,

Got my new PC and everything is great.

The only thing I need help with is how to control the RGB lights on the front fans:

I really don't want to install aurora crate as i've read too many horror stories online.

My motherboard is PRIME-X670-P-WIFI-ASUS-1616 and if I still the corsair ICUE, i can control the lights on the AIO and also RAM.

its only the front of case, I can't see to control those lights.

I searched the forum and found a post mentioning that you need to install the AI suite, but I can't see to finding a working version for my mobo.

Appreciate any advice.

Thank you

Pressing the reset button on the front, just restarted my pc.

I installed the Ai Suite from the link you provided but it doesn't seem to show any RGB control

I have that case, the fans that come with it should be connected to RGB header on motherboard so need Armoury Crate or other RGB software to control. But I detest Crate, it's only ever caused me pain, so I use OpenRGB instead. Much simpler application.

Confirmed - I installed armoury crate and I am able to control the RGB fans on the front of the case.

So if I now remove Armoury crate and install OpenRGB - I will have the same control features of the RGB ?

Yes, OpenRGB or SignalRGB are far better

Yep, OpenRGB has good support for Asus motherboards, so be surprised if yours is not supported. The only thing you may need to know is the number of LEDS on each fan. You will need to configure OpenRGB and inform it how many LEDS are connected to the ARGB header. So let's assume each fan has 12 LEDS, you would set the (zone) size of the header in OpenRGB to 36 (3 times 12) and that will allow you to control the RGB correctly.

Yeah some brands are better than others in listing LED numbers. Worse case you could disconnect the fans PWM cable and just leave the RGB cable connected, should allow you to count the LEDs visually without the fan spinning.
