I picked up this prebuilt gaming PC a while back because it was on sale and I didn't have time to build my own. I've been enjoying it, but I'm curious about the RGB lighting for the fans. Right now, they just switch between a few color patterns automatically, and I've been trying to figure out if there's a way to control them manually. I've looked into software like SignalRGB and MSI Mystic Light, but neither seemed to work. Is there a possibility I have a loose cable, or am I stuck with these default colors? Here's the link to the PC: https://www.newegg.com/abs-kaze-ruby-gaming-desktop-geforce-rtx-4080-super-amd-ryzen-7-7700x-32gb-1tb-nvme-ssd-black/p/N82E16883360542?item=N82E16883360542

It sounds like your PC probably didn't come with addressable RGB fans. Can you check how the fans are connected? If they’re hooked up directly to a controller instead of the motherboard, that might explain why you're limited to just a few colors. Let us know what you find out!
I think they might be addressable because I saw reviews with different colors from other buyers. Here's a pic of the setup I have: https://imgur.com/a/DcM9Mli. The cables for the fans all connect to one board that hooks up to the motherboard, so I'm hoping that means I can control them!
