Hello, I assembled all the components except the GPU. After checking, the RGB lights on your Corsair fans didn't activate. Connecting the fans to the Corsair Commander Core from your Elite Capellix AIO seems to have disabled them. This behavior is unusual and might be resolved with iCue software. I noticed the RGB turned on when using the MB connectors, so I'm hoping it will work again once those are connected properly. Please let me know if this is normal or if further steps are needed before your GPU arrives. Thanks.

I experienced a nightmare setting up my Corsair lights and controller due to the proprietary connections, but I managed to resolve it using ICUE software. You can even rearrange the fan order in the program if you realize you connected them incorrectly during installation. Also, don't overlook YouTube—there are many tutorials focused on Corsair RGB fans.

The fan configuration appeared straightforward at first, but it ended up causing issues. They flash bright white initially, then the lights shut down. I'm checking if this is typical before moving on to install the iCue software.

You've got a lot of Corsair experience, that's cool. Some gear uses hardware lighting to show up when iCUE isn't active. Others switch to rainbow mode or just sit idle. Make sure you install iCUE first to ensure proper detection and activation. I went through the same process with my setup too—just wanted those nice lights for the aesthetic, even though I wasn't a big fan of their products.
