Motherboard Issue

[Nagasaki]

Ill link to this thread as the issues must be related.

 

I have been having another issue that cropped up at the same time as the audio issue. When the PC is off the rgb on my cooler and the fans attached to it as well as any fans connected to my case fan controller (all sata powered) still spin.

 

I just found out that If I unplug the 24Pin power connector from the motherboard the cooler and all the fans turn off.

 

Soooo I assume the motherboard is causing the PSU to send some voltage, I guess 5v. But the question is why?

 

All this started when I added 3 extra RGB LL120 fans to my system with a 2nd lighting node pro and rgb fan hub but even removing them from the system does not undo this strangeness.

 

I think somehow my motherboard has just shat the bed in some way and needs replacing but id rather not fork out for one right now.

Interesting. I too, have three LL120s in my system and my Asus Aura cycles the rainbow when the PC is shut down, even though I set it to Dark in Amoury Crate, and iCUE to black out all but the LL120s on a temp monitor until around 85C.

 

What's interesting is that the RGB controller runs off of SATA power and uses a USB passthrough from the motherboard, and I am now aware that using M.2 slots will disable certain SATA ports. Though I am not sure if this would affect this, it's certainly a thought. Perhaps the M.2 inadvertently bridges a circuit that keeps the RGB going when shutdown?

 

It's also possible the machine is simply hibernating or sleeping rather than actually shutting down. Both my gaming rig and my current web / media project are occasionally restarting when told to shut down. Seems to be related to removal or connection of a USB wifi adapter I use.

 

Possibly related is that I have had an intermittent issue with no video on boot for which I have found information pointing to either my x8 USB riser conflicting with my GPU, the PCIe3 M.2 conflicting with my GPU, or possibly both. One thread indicated that the M.2 slot closest to the board would be more likely to conflict, or possibly that the secondary slot would not conflict at all. So I moved it this evening and am waiting to see if it cures any of this.

Sods law, I post about it.... I fix it.

 

I found the issue. Audio still broken tho

 

Anyway.. It was a combo of my USB3 PCIE card and my Strafe MK.2

 

When the keyboard is plugged into the USB card the fans spin up, when I unplug it they stop and the cooler rgb goes off... Plugged into the motherboard USB its fine!

 

What the frack

 

I was hoping my mobo audio would burst to life but no such luck
