Issue with Phanteks G360A build and cable management problems
So I'm currently working on my first build ever, and this afternoon I was very satisfied to see all the ARGBs of my system light up including the case the mobo etc. However, the daisy chain I had built wasn't working and I didn't know why. I decided to do some cable management and I don't know what happened, but after that the ARGB didn't work anywhere, the on/off case button only does on and the daisy chain worked all of a sudden, with all my plugged fans spinning. I noticed the ARGB and on/off button are plugged in the same little board at the front of the case so could there be a link ?
Also could there be a link with my PC not booting ? (it doesn't display anything/keyboard doesn't seem to work).
Thank you in advance.
I'm not the most knowledgeable about this topic, but could you clarify what a daisy chain is in your context? It might help to know more about the devices or setup you're working with.
The situation involves the Phanteks G360A* with the listed components. There are issues with the power setup and fan configuration. I only managed to connect one case fan and four Arctic P12s, but couldn't find a splitter for the P12s. I connected them in a daisy chain, trying to balance the load, though this likely exceeded the amplifier capacity. The RGB lighting stopped working after adjustments, and the motherboard still emits blue sparks when powered on.
I completely dismantled the PC and rebuilt it, and everything functioned properly! This is useful advice for anyone facing similar problems, like when both RAM sticks weren’t fully connected and I discarded my cables. Adding better cable management helped everything start up smoothly. Very satisfied with the result!
