Hey everyone. The issue seems to be with the aRGB cable connections. I bent some pins on the header, which might affect performance. There are options to fix or replace them—like using a different connector or a compatible adapter. Just make sure you don’t damage the existing setup.

I rely on my fingertip. I've tested it several times. It's surprisingly strong.

I'm adjusting them using an RGB connector on the pump. It's hard to push much force, but the connector won't fit unless the pins are straight. This might not be the best approach since it could bend another pin.

Utilize tiny needle-nose pliers. They’re just slender metal rods. Anything you need to shape them will do. Don’t get too caught up in the details.

I concur with @Dedayog and adjust the bent pins using your finger or a tool such as pliers.

Hey guys, think about using a toothpick. I’ll need it again to lift the case and keep it at a good angle. I’ll try it tomorrow.

I'm not entirely confident that's sufficient.

No problem, I don’t have needle-nose pliers. Actually, I’m not sure about using metal tools because of my hand tremor. If I need to straighten pins, I might just use something flexible instead.

Just snap them back—it feels like a paper clip, and overthinking won’t help you short something that isn’t receiving power.
