thebartster Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Just built a new pc, only have one of these at the rear for a little bit extra RGB at the back of the case. Evertyhing went great, the build was a success! LL fan lighting up and looking cool. I then download some software, Asus Aura, for my GPU/mobo. The instant Aura finished installing, the LL stopped lighting up and now i can no longer get my LL fan to light up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zotty Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Hi buddy.. need more info.. How do You have the LL fan Wired up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebartster Posted September 10, 2018 Author Share Posted September 10, 2018 Yeah i have it wired into the top rgb header on the motherboard. Like i said, it was working fine, then the instant asus aura installed, it stopped lighting up. I uninstalled aura, tried the diffrent versions of the software they offer on their website, nothing. I just cant get it to light up anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zotty Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 So the Fan is wired direct to the motherboard?... that's your problem buddy.. Corsair Fans need to go to an RGB Fan LED Hub and indeed need a Commander Pro or a Lighting Node Pro for the RGB Fan LED Hub to connect to... more below... http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=173880 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zotty Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Fairly confident your fan is now damaged dude... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebartster Posted September 10, 2018 Author Share Posted September 10, 2018 I see, i was under the impression if i had 1 or 2 RGB headers i didint need to get a HUB, (I only wanted the 1 RGB fan). Also, it was literally running fine with its default scheme for a day until i installed aura. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zotty Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I have the Asus z370-f my self... i can't see any headers suitable for plugging the RGB side of the fan into. all have different sockets to the fan. Don't be surprised if you killed the fan dude :(.. surprised it lasted a Day my self.. some of those headers are 12v... the fan is 5v for it's RGB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebartster Posted September 10, 2018 Author Share Posted September 10, 2018 Havent been playing with computers for over 10 years, so its a learning curve getting back into it. Everything else went well, except, this. According to my mobo manual, theres some 12v RGB slots, and also some 5v RGB slots. but, it was in a 12v slot.

Zotty Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Fan still works fine just no light :( you sure it dead? :( Appreciate the info also my man. the Power side of (makes it spin) is a separate circuit to the RGB side of it. so it will spin fine... but I would be super confident you popped the RGB side of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PJH Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Hey, hey! If you really want an RGB fan that AuraSync can control, you should check out Asus' website of supported vendors who make RGB fans. As mentioned, with Corsair, it is not a supported product of Asus (12v or 5v connections), and will require their own RGB Hub for full control of the lighting effects.
