How to Properly Set Up ARGB Fans?

Asked by TechieTinker123
I recently built my first PC and I'm trying to figure out how to properly set up my ARGB fans. I daisy-chained all of them and connected one of the 3-pin ARGB connectors to my motherboard. Unfortunately, this resulted in dim lighting and some LEDs blinking. I suspected that connecting seven fans to a single port was too much, so I bought an ARGB hub and powered it with SATA. Now, all the fans light up correctly, but I noticed that when I turn on LED_1, it activates LED_1 on all the fans simultaneously. How can I control the LEDs for each individual fan? By the way, I apologize for my English!

It sounds like you might need a dedicated fan controller to manage the LEDs individually. Most ARGB controllers have the option for per-fan control. You can find some budget-friendly ones online that should do the trick!

If you're looking for a cheap fan controller, I'd recommend checking out brands like Cooler Master or MSI. They usually have some affordable models that offer individual fan control without breaking the bank. Just make sure it’s compatible with your setup!
