Overload of the A-RGB header?
Overload of the A-RGB header?
Hi, your new PC is running smoothly now. The RGB on the AIO stopped responding and flickered white until you removed a few fans from the A-RGB group. Once cleared, everything worked again. It looks like too much RGB activity was causing the issue. You have several components with built-in RGB control, including a Be Quiet A-RGB controller/splitter and Corsair RGB RAM. The Phanteks unit has its own controller that only powers the case's RGB, while your Be Quiet controller manages the rest. Since you have adapters for the Phanteks hub, adding more fans might help, but it depends on how many you plan to use. If you want a simpler setup, consider using just one controller or checking if the fan count matches what your motherboard supports.
based on my experience, a single USB controller port on a motherboard can manage around 200 LEDs. Since each fan uses about 20 LEDs, one slot won’t suffice. The Zalman Sync supports up to 8 fans but offers only 11 frames per second. If you’re looking for a more advanced setup, consider the Razer RGB controller, which has six slots and can handle 80 LEDs per slot at 40 FPS. Both options support USB connectivity and full control. You can enjoy dynamic effects with Signalrgb, a free software that lets you manage everything easily—even if you don’t want to customize each one individually. It’s impressive to see all the LEDs move together as a cohesive display.
