Some RGB lights have stopped working

INS_Omniac

Hello,

 

A new build of mine has been doing pretty good this first month of operation. After its first 2 weeks, some RGB stopped working; all but one RGB device and that is all the RGB fans. They are all connected into one cable using Cooler Master's 1-5 ARGB Splitter (3 pin). It wasn't much of a priority since it is just RGB. However, I came to the thought that maybe the cable is a defect. I got it replaced and the same issue happened; not all lights are on.

 

What is interesting is that they are all connected to one cable and the RGB fans (came with EK's AIO Elite that had a PWM fan hub) still work on the same cable. The RGB lights don't seem fried either. They all turn on for a split second every time I turn on the system and they randomly turn on for like 5 minutes at the most random times.

 

What could be the issue? Is it all too much for one RGB header? If it is, unfortunately the motherboard only has one 3 pin header for RGB unless there is like some sort of converter.

 

Much appreciated!

You could get a RGB hub added in, like a Commander Core or Lighting Core like hub.
