The case fans aren't functioning properly.
The case fans aren't functioning properly.
Initial setup here. Still unsure about the fan cable connections—it doesn’t appear to fit anywhere. With power on, just the fan on the motherboard lights up and spins. I’m using a CG560 Deepcool mid-tower ATX case and a B760 Gaming Plus Wi-Fi motherboard.
Did you check the instructions? The manual suggests having PWM ports on your mainboard... use the system PWM port for the front panel fans. You may need a Y PWM splitter to link both fans to one port. RGB should work too, but it seems the controller is already included.
PWM... varies by model and brand... on typical fans, you'll find a single cable exiting the unit to manage its operation. There are two main fan connection types. PWM transmits speed signals and supplies power via a standard four-pin connector, while DC uses three-pin connectors and draws power from the mainboard only in limited amounts. RGB fans come with two ports: one for PWM and one for RGB, often using either 4-pin 12V or 3-pin 5V connectors—though the 4-pin setup seems incomplete. To activate your fans, link the four-pin PWM port to your mainboard's fan port. Most boards support several ports. To prevent issues with multiple fans on the same area, use a controller that handles several fans or a splitter. Connecting 2–4 fans to a single header can overload it, causing power delivery problems and potential failure. A proper controller provides separate SATA power and sends PWM signals through one port, while a splitter directs the signal clearly. Your board usually has five fan headers labeled sys_fan 1 through 5; use one if cables are sufficient—typically positions 1–2 are accessible. For RGB, as described in the manual, it can be linked in series using proprietary JST connectors and an adapter for 3 or 4-pin configurations. If these aren't included, you'll need to purchase them. You have two RGB headers labeled JARGB1, JARGB2, and JRGB1 at the bottom; the last one is 12V. If your fans require 5V, this setting could damage the RGB LEDs.
