Yeah, I think I fried my fan LEDs by plugging them into a MSI 12V header (poorly labeled). So pissed, but at least the fans spin up and work. I'll live with it for now.

Funny this gets recommended to me the day after I fry my board in almost the same way. PSU that was released in 2023 for some unknown reason had a FDD connector (yes, floppy drive) coming off the molex cable and since the molex cables were connected to the fans, I assumed the FDD connector was a fan connector since they look similar enough. Plugged it into a fan header and now the board is dead.

I plugged that thing into the regular spot but connected to it was another cord that was also 3 pin but without that missing one and it fried that cables but my fans work and they still have light so I got lucky

@bloodsausage6635 6 ай бұрын

If you haven’t done it yet, a simple way of knowing where to plug it in is looking at the wires on your fans. Is there 3 wires or 4 on the RGB cable? If there’s 3 wires, plug into the 3 pin.

the three way splitter has three 4 pin connectors (connect the 4 pin cable to one of these) and one 3 pain connector (you connect this to the 3 pin addressable RGB on the motherboard). i think... lol.

@@ulysses4989 i'm currently trying to get the front plate to light up. haven't figured it out yet. i think it's because on the 3 way splitter you have to connect the front plate to splitter #1 (but they're not labeled so who knows). my motherboard is x570 asus.

@retrobrahhh Ай бұрын

@@ulysses4989 i just figured it out... the 4 pin RGB is not meant to go into one of those two RGB Headers. It's meant to go into the 3 way splitter Corsair gives you. There's 3 RGB headers on it, and a 3 pin on the other end. The 3 pin goes into your motherboards 3 pin RGB header (pin 3 is blank). The RGB header from the core has to go into one of the 3 splitters. It MATTERS which one you put it in. I put it in what I thought was #1 but the center would not light up. I just changed it to #2 and now it lights up. Hope this helps.

@ulysses4989 Ай бұрын

@retrobrahhh I don't believe I had a splitter in the box.. what does it look like? Are the pins exposed on this particular splitter or am I looking at a different one I believe you're talking about the proprietary connector? And I have no commander core
