I just bought a AIO RGB X73 from NZXT, But I'm only now discovering that I can't control my fans RGB. Some are saying you need the fan hub, others aren't. I'm very confused, about this ordeal. Suggestions, help?

Did you follow the steps in the installation process correctly? According to this KitGuru review, you need to daisy-chain the three fans together and then you can plug them into the CPU block so you can control them through NZXT's CAM software. 

Main PC:

AMD Ryzen 7 5800X • Noctua NH-D15 • MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk • 2x8GB G.skill Trident Z Neo 3600MHz CL16 • MSI VENTUS 3X GeForce RTX 3070 OC • Samsung 970 Evo 1TB • Samsung 860 Evo 1TB • Cosair iCUE 465X RGB • Corsair RMx 750W (White)

 

Peripherals/Other:

ASUS VG27AQ • G PRO K/DA • G502 Hero K/DA • G733 K/DA • G840 K/DA • Oculus Quest 2 • Nintendo Switch (Rev. 2)

 

Laptop (Dell XPS 13):

Intel Core i7-1195G7 • Intel Iris Xe Graphics • 16GB LPDDR4x 4267MHz • 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD • 13.4" OLED 3.5K InfinityEdge Display (3456x2160, 400nit, touch). 

 

Got any questions about my system or peripherals? Feel free to tag me (@bellabichon) and I'll be happy to give you my two cents.

Can you go through the webpage I linked and make sure you've connected everything correctly? You need to connect the USB 2.0 header connection to a spare USB header on your motherboard if you want to control RGB and fan speed through CAM.

Edit: I was looking at the regular X73 non-rgb.
