Argb fans suddenly don’t light up on motherboard only

[EkeeCantCompute]

Just replaced the power supply in my new build and suddenly the rgb fans no longer light up at all. I thought it was a fan/splitter issue at first, but when I plugged the argb splitter into the mini included rgb fan hub they worked just fine.

 

I’m connecting the ARGB fans into a jrainbow header onto my motherboard. It worked just fine before the psu switch. I’m just hoping there isn’t something physically wrong with the motherboard because I really don’t feel like RMAing.

 

Motherboard: Mag B560 Tomahawk Wifi (Using 2nd latest bios don’t have the name of it right mow)

Fans: PcCooler 120m Halo Frgb 3 pack

Psu: Evga Supernova 650 GT

 

Don’t know if the other specs are necessary, but I’m able to send them if needed.

Also yes I have tried both headers, using 1 ram stick, and resetting cmos.

I suspect the make/model of both the old and new PSU will be useful.  The workings of Argb isn’t an area I know much about though, so I’m basically guessing.

Not sure if this is enough info but…

 

The old Psu was a EVGA 650 BQ (Semi- modular bronze rated ATX) and the new one is a EVGA SuperNova 650 GT (Fully modular gold rated ATX)

 

Side note: The only reason I replaced the psu was because of the excessive fan noise.

I was able to get the fans RGB working but only if I plugged in the cable at a certain angle. 

Hoping this doesnt break the pins.

Well that implies a bent or worn connector. Hopefully it’s the plug and not the motherboard.   Can you see any “bentness” visually?

Here’s what the motherboard pins look like. I don’t see any real prominent bending myself.

Pins appear to be in good shape so I suspect the connector.  Those are square sectional pins pins even.  Two ways to deal with that one I know of.  Replace the connector or put in an “unnecessary” extension that the connector will attach to.  Then you have a new connector to put into the board.  If the fan is still under warranty replacement may be the cheapest option.  They’re the ones who attached a bum connector.  They can take it up with their supplier.
