PC and AIO fans began sparking, producing sparks, popping sounds, and a burnt smell.

What bothers me most is that despite other fans being linked to the identical RGB hub, only the AIO ones failed. It shouldn’t matter because they’re just placed near the radiator.
It seems everyone should experience the same outcome too, right? Because they're all linked to the same hub.
The USB port or power cable might not have been correct initially. It could have just stopped working at some point.
I suggest the Arctic Liquid freezer setup. It delivers top performance at a reasonable cost. For the fan hub, I’d choose a fresh one just in case. You can also run the AIO directly with new fans as long as the pump is functional. Just keep in mind: if you exceed four fans on one hub, or use a pump on a hub that lacks power, you’ll need a powered solution.

Updated: My friend received a brand-new AIO+New fan and a fresh case with four additional fans. All is functioning smoothly and there have been no RGB light issues since
