RGB Headers

[elephant_1214]

I haven't been able to plug a 4-pin 12RGB for RGB fans into a 5-pin 12VRGBW header (which my mobo says I'm supposed to be able to do). I've looked all over for a fix for this but I can't find anything, any help would be great. Also before you ask I am sure that I plugged it in right. If it matters I have a Corsair SPEC-DELTA case and a Gigabyte B450 Aorus Elite mobo.

Weird, those case fans are standard 12vRGB, and those headers support that, I double checked your manuals. Did you install RGBFusion? and was the polarity right between your 3-way RGB split-er and your mobo header?

I don't have a Graphics Card yet so I can't get RGBFusion, and yes it's a 4 pin and I tried putting it in exactly how the manual said to and still nothing. Sorry for the late reply btw, I thought I tapped email me if there's a reply but apparently I didn't.

A graphics card isn't a requirement for RGBFusion. Unless you mean, there is no video output from the PC period. The RGB headers might default to off until enabled from RGBFusion, I suspect with a 45% confidence level that this is the case. No worries, I'm just surprised nobody else has chimed in, there are a bunch of hardware experts on the forum.

Yes, no video output until I buy a graphics card. I have the fans RGB plugged into the CPU RGB headers right now and it works. Just can't get it into the right header, sorry again for the late response email notifications still aren't working.

I found a fix, cutting off part of the side of it that didn't have the arrow on it made room for the fifth pin, the RGB works now.
