This has been happening since day one of using icue and corsair lighting and im finally fed up enough to ask for help. If im in game or watching a movie/show, anything fullscreen, and alt+tab for whatever reason all my lighting literally frreaks out and cannot be restored until I force close icue from system tray and restart the app. It doesnt even change the profile, all the lights begin to strobe? Some lights dont even come on, everything just goes to absolute ****. Icue is not unresponsive at this point, I can mess around in the software but any setting i choose has no effect until i force close and restart. I am having to restart Icue every damn 10 min cause the distraction from the PC is overwhelming. After restarting Icue sets the correct profile and all is good...until alt+tabbing again. I do have 3 monitors so not sure if theres a bug with that I went with corsair specifically for the sync between ram,fans and strips, but its never worked right or ever works when i need it to. Can anyone relate or give some troubleshooting? Pretty sure my ver is up to date, I update when prompted. 6 leds strips 6 ML120 pro rgb 4x Vengence rgb dimm Thanks for any help guys

So im able to get 2 of them to work non daisy chained. The daisy chain extension cables must be just bad. Been building PCs for 20 years none of the elementary stuff applies here. That sounded conceded and i appreciate all the replies sometimes you do forget the small stuff. But after seeing just 2 and the light output im returning them. They are not going to produce the amount of light i need. They are rather dim, more of an accent lighting to highlight a certain component? Im looking for lighting behind rads and these wont do. Im going with corsair strips i guess, but only 10 led per strip is offputting.

the strips only have 3 pin male connector. The adapter cables only have 3 pin female.

No offence lol. So i mean theres only one way to plug it in. ARGB is 3 pin with 2 pins on one side, then a blank, then the last pin. So if you turned the cable the other way it wouldnt connect. I mean right? You got me thinking now. All the ARGB devices connected to my mobo work.

Yea I tried that but theres like no power whatsoever. So the strips do othing when the system is powered on. For instance upon first boot all fan leds turn on and default to rainbow BEFORE any config is made in ICUE to actually set the number and model of fans. All these fans are connected to the LNPs as the strips. But to answer your question yes I did try to configure lighting channel 2 as 5 strips 6 strips 3 strips etc but nothing. I knew there was an issue when the strips shwed nothing when powering on the system.

So Ive purchased 2 of the LNP adapter cables from Prarie Dog Tech https://www.ebay.com/itm/372521827376?ViewItem=&item=372521827376 I cannot get these to give any power to my phanteks strips. Seems pretty straightforward...connect 3 pin to drbg strip, connect other side to lighting channel 2 on LNP. Each adapter adapter has 56 leds connected to it (2 daisy chained drgb strips) so under the 60 led limit. Each cable is connected to its own LNP (I have 2) on lighting channel 2. No power whatsoever, lighting channel 1 works fine on both LNPs. All 4 strips are brand new so its damn near impossible all 4 are DOA. These cables are supposed to be awesome, what gives?
