RGB Issues

[p3rry]

Just received my PC, good specs etc. Having Problems with RGB Lights on CORSAIR CRYSTAL SERIES 680X RGB GAMING CASE. I don't quite know what's wrong only one light on the fan is working. Back fan light doesn't work at all. I downloaded iCUE and AURA but no luck fixing it. Can anyone help?

So the rear fan isn't RGB I don't think, no the supplied one, you'd have to change that for an LL fan if you wanted RGB on it.

The front ones should be connected to a lighting node pro, can you just check and make sure everything from the front 2 fans that aren't working are connected properly?

iCUE Lighting Node PRO RGB Lighting Controller

The CORSAIR iCUE Lighting Node PRO RGB Lighting Controller brings stunning software-controlled RGB lighting to any PC, with four included RGB LED light strips boasting a total of 40 LEDs of RGB illumination.

You'll only be able to control them with iCue, is it registering the 3 fans?

Hm, it doesn't seem to register any of the front fans. I chose LL RGB Series fans, 3 are connected. Nothing happens at all.

Sorry, not sure what you mean? Can you take a screenshot of iCue?

Sure

 

[SpyderTracks]

Sure

So it’s picking them up fine, but you’re on the controller, you need to be on the fans to adjust them.

 

[p3rry]

it's supposed to work, but it doesn't. I can't seem to control any of the 3 fans. I am not sure if it's picking them up properly. When I restart the computer, only the bottom fan flickering and that's all.

And the cabling is all ok?

I have no idea, I will have a look again. I've disconnected one of the sata cables to connect my personal ssd.

You'll likely find that's the light power connector.

If you need a SATA you'll have to connect another SATA cable to the PSU, should be in the welcome box.

Thanks, I will try to do it, will update on the results.

Thank you, you were absolutely right. I disconnected the light power connector. I used another SATA cable from the box and connected it to PSU. All is working now. Many thanks for help! Here is a picture of my setup!

That looks much better!! I'm not a fan of RGB lighting as I'm a simple and understated person when it comes to PCs but I do love how that case looks when it's lit up

They are amazing cases, that one especially for me, I just love the form factor of the 2 compartment cases, it's the same as I've got. They're amazing to build in because there's just so much space and cable management is rediculously easy too.

I love that case
