How to turn off "Auto-RGB" Fans included in the case.

[Bardiel_Knightsuki]

I finished to assembly my computer. All is working as it should.
But I can't find a way to turn off my 3 frontal auto-rgb (not argb) fans.

The case is an MSI Mag Forge M100A

The case has a Led Switch button which goes to a "Led" 2 pin cable.
Someone knows if if is possible (or how can I) to turn off my "auto-rgb" fans? (they are described as that in the box and manual)

My PC Case (all is working good, no problem there)


The Led Switch Button (on the left of the image)



The cable in question, it comes from the Frontal Fans.



I tried to connect to a CoolerMaster ARGB Controller, but it only turn on the ARGB Fan (the cpu fan, not the 3 frontal).





I tried to connect to this ARGB Hub but also only the ARGB fans change color/turn off.


I don't know what to do, to at least turn off the RGB fans without disconnect them from the molex cable.

Did you try holding the LED button for 6 seconds?

You could also put it in Mystic Light sync mode and turn them off there.

Hi! Yes, I tried this, both connecting the LED Cable to the Argb Controller (Coolermaster) and to a argb Hub (Republic of Gaming).
The only thing that happened was that the case button will change/turn off the CPU Fan (not the frontal 3 fans).
It was as if the Hub and the controller ignored the frontal fans connection.



EDIT:
Mystic Light Sync? But where do I connect the 2 pin cable? the 3 frontal fans are RGB not Argb

If you're not using the rgb controller built into the case, then none of them will have any control by the LED button.

The 2 pin header you have that's marked LED goes to the MSI controller so that the button works.

It doesn't include any MSI Controller...

Manual shows it mounted in the case here.

It's just a PCB with headers.

WHAT?! The mine doesn't have it
oohhh and it's because is the Model A,
and I just noticed that in the manual it's says that it's only available for Model R.

Werid... But then why it doesn't work with the other ROG hub anb the Coolermaster Controller? I have to buy a MSI specific controller?

Can I see the fans themselves better? If they're compatible with other RGB ecosystems it'll usually be listed on their store page. We might be able to find them.

If they're MSI only, then yes, you'd either need a controller or a way to plug them all into the motherboard and control them with MSI Mystic Light.

Full specs?

Yes, They came included in the case.

Full Specs:
Case: MSI MAG FORCE M100A
Motherboard: Asus H510M-K R2.0
CPU: Intel i7-11700KF LGA1200
(for the CPU) Cooler Master FAN Hyper 212 ARGB (this no problem because it comes with his own controller)
RAM: 16GB XPG SPECTRIX D60G (one stick)

The fans I want to control (at least turn off/on)
Connected by Molex.

If Molex is the only connector coming off the fans, you won't be able to control them. 

That motherboard has 1 12v RGB header. MSI likes to use 12V rgb, so if your fans have normal RGB cables coming off of them, you can plug them into that header.

That header is number 10.

You would need something like this to plug them all in. Then you *should* be able to control them with Mystic Light.

The Asus RGB controller you have needs a 5V ARGB input from the motherboard, which your motherboard doesn't have, so it's not going to work. I'm going to assume the CM hub you have is the same way.

 

The most expensive option would be new fans that have a controller than can run off your internal USB header (number 9). 

Similar to these. https://www.amazon.com/corsair-sp120-performance-triple-lighting/dp/b08xjz82y8

Spoiler

It would get power from your PSU through the Sata cable, then the bottom connector in that picture would go to your extra internal USB header. The downside to these is you also get "locked into" proprietary ecosystems usually.

Sorry I didn't specify again. They are connected by Molex and a (not connected) 2 pin cable who has "LED" written on it (which I don't know where to connect).
This two photos I took.
This cable is coming from the Front Panel.
and in the manual it says "Led Switch Button".

 

And the Molex cables (of each RGB Fan). That's how the come by default

Yes, I saw it in the manual but the case has no normal RGB Cables, only the one I mentioned before (the LED 2 pin cable and Molex) so I don't know how to or where to connected them.

I don't understand how, I only have the 2 pin cable... nothing has 4 pins...

Yes, I agree. Neither of them worked.

This one could work? It came with a Balam Rush Thinos


At this point i don't know why is so complicated to just turn off the frontal RGB at this point, not changing colors, just turn it off when I'm not in the mood for bright lights.
