Solved

Hello, I bought a water cooling system which is the Thermalright Frozen Notte 240 BLACK ARGB, but on my motherboard, which is a B450M PRO-M2 MAX, I don't have an ARGB port. So I bought a hub to connect the ARGB, but the light doesn't turn on. I got this hub:

How can I make it work since the fans I connected to it are spinning but the ARGB doesn't light up? Thank you in advance.

    Hello

    Did you connect the 4-pin red connector from the case to the PWR-FAN on the motherboard? It's what starts the case; ideally, there should also be a 3-pin ARGB output on the motherboard. You have the provided cable; your thing is more of a splitter than a native ARGB case.

      Hello, first thanks for your response,

      I can't find a PWR-FAN, is it possible that I don't have one? And I don't have an ARGB output on my motherboard, do you think you could recommend something so that it works?

      Thanks in advance

    What you need is a controller working via software that connects via USB, like this one:

    Cooler Master ARGB LED Controller with 4 3-pin Ports - Multiple Color Effects, Thermal Detection Mode, Compatible with 4-Pin RGB Devices: Cooler: Amazon.fr: Computers

    It is compatible with motherboards that have RGB, ARGB, and those that do not.

    Check the reviews.

    There are other models, but it is essential in your case that the case is configured via USB (internal or external).

    Plug the red 4-pin into any FAN just to try.

    Are your fans indeed ARGB?
