No LEDs on ML120 fans


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I have 6 ML120 fans in my case, they were working fine both spinning and RGB. I then tried to instal the commander Pro alongside the RGB hub. Since then ive no lighting on any of the 6 fans. Ive uninstalled / reinstalled ICUE, completely reset my computer and still no lighting. I took a fan out and tried it in another PC and there was still no RGB. 

Really am lost now, don't know how to resolve this? 

At present fans are plugged in one to 6along the top of the attachment. I then have the LED cable from the RGB hub in to the 1st LED slot. Each RGB cable from the fans is then in the RGB hub in the same order as the power cables. 

The commander pro is plugged in via SATA to one of the spare SATA cables (i think that runs from the SSD) and the RGB is connected via SATA in to another spare (i think from HDD). All other corsair lighting works fine (RAM, strip lights, KB)

Are these all ML-RGB "4 LED" fans from a prior set up with a Lighting Node Pro?  It should be as simple as plugging the same RGB Lighting Hub from before into LED #1 on the Commander Pro.

 

Two things you can check:

1) This is a "new device", so all your old lighting effects will not automatically port over to the new C-Pro.  You will need to go into Lighting Set-up and designate "ML-RGB x number of fans" if they are 4 LED or use the "8 LED fan series" if these are ML-Elite (retail or Elite Capellix AIO version).  That will create the proper UI in Lighting Effects and then you should be able to add in lighting.

2) If it's set up and still not working, move the LED connector from LED 1 -> 2.  You will then need to go back into Lighting Set-up and do the same steps above for channel 2.  It doesn't happen often, but occasionally there is a bad LED channel.  

 

There have been some other weird issues over the years with PSUs that don't output all voltage rails on the SATA, but since it is likely you simply swapped out a Lighting Node Pro for the Commander Pro, all of those types of issues are extremely unlikely.

Thank you for taking the time to reply.

I have tried both of these soultions. Even tried plugging each fan in individually to see if one was bad but none of them light up. I even plugged a new SATA lead in to the PSU so it ran straight from there, rather then using a spare through the HDD/SSD.

As above before i swapped out for the Commander it was working fine. I had the power going through a splitter and the RGB through the hub.

Something was bad with the latest software patch the rgb for  ML RGB fans are not being utilized along with rgb for my pump. They still spin and pump as well rpm noticed by iCUE. I have done all you have done and more, even went back to legacy.

Hi, 

Thank you for your reply.

so from that there is an issue with the software?
