Ajaxx Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 (edited) I have 3 RGB fans that came with my H150i Elite Capellix, as well as the commander core. Now all ports are powered. Now fans 1, 2, and 3 are plugged into the respective RGB hub ports, 1, 2 and 3. For whatever reason, whatever port fan 2 is plugged into, does not let it light up, and the other 3 ports not being used do not light up as well. Here is where it gets tricky... If I plug fan 2 into an already lit up port (Fan 1 or Fan 3's RGB port), the fan lights up just fine, but ICUE still doesnt recognize it. Now if I force update the Capellix on ICUE the ports change and whatever is not used as well as whatver Fan 2 is plugged into bricks. To be clear, I am strictly talking about the RGB hub on the commander core. Can anyone help me out here? Edit: I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling numerous times. The commander core is plugged directly into my motherboard( I have already switched around the USB ports it is in, to no avail). Before yesterday I have had this issue. Yesterday evening I had messed around with the fans, and all 3 were working fine. I then tried to download an audio responsive wallpaper on wallpaper engine and it started having this issue again.

DevBiker Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 It's a bad fan. It's not returning the RGB signal in the Data Out. That's why the CoCo doesn't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajaxx Posted June 30, 2021 Author Share Posted June 30, 2021 If my computer is on, am I not able to hot swap the RGB hub cables to different ports? I was afraid that the problem was my CoCo or software since ICUE didnt recognize the fans until a forced update, and that the other ports that were not in use did not light up immediately when hot swapped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee Corsair Notepad Posted June 30, 2021 Corsair Employee Share Posted June 30, 2021 You should not be hot swapping the RGB cables as it can cause problems including burning out the LEDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
