So, I just built a new PC. It is my first one and I have done everything as well as possible (for me).

 

I went to turn it on and (after replugging it into a power outlet that worked), it booted just fine. Then I got windows installed and running. I did this in very short sessions as 4 of the 5 fans (not including the cpu cooler) were NOT running. 

I am not sure why the fans aren't working and I dont have much time to play with them (I'm in a calculus class amd have major tests every weekend from now till Aug 15)!

 

I have the original case fan (junk), a $5 fan (also junk AND has ketchup and mustard wires!), and 3 Antec RGB fans (silent, but worthless without rgb controls). I got 3 fans running from the mobo directly,  but they aren't compatible with the rgb so they just move air, not photons...

I think that the controller is the issue since unplugging, and running the fans directly from the same port makes them work fine.  

 

I have all the fans installed so I dont really want to pull them, but if that is how I have to get rgb, it may be worth it. 

 

I just want to know what your guy's ideas for solutions are. I am out of ideas and just want the complete overkill and rgb that I expect from today's modern PC's.
