Wonky RGB

[CAPTAINOKIN]

Hey so this is probably one of the most out of left field things anyone has asked, but for some reason my case fans will not want to be the same color despite them all being set to it. I'm running 7 corsair AF120 fans and my hardware lighting is set to just plain white. However my 3 front fans are different colors than the other 4 with the top one in particular being different then the other 2. I've dug around ICue and even tried signal but still haven't figured anything out. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm just confused at this point.

How many were bundled togheter?

 

Could br that if you did 2 3 kits and a single that the leds are of different enough quality this is happening.

 

I see it happen from time to time building a system.

 

Else plug a wrong colored fan in a right colored header and see what gives. Could be a controller issue too

Are they all the same make and model of fan? Are they all in the same RGB controller? Does the color change but just look different between the fans i.e. they're all white but slightly different versions of white or if you set them to blue they're all blue but different shades/brightness of blue? If they change colors but are all slightly different versions of that same color it's most likely different led types in different models of fans. If some just straight up aren't changing color at all while others are they're either not configured right in the software or they aren't all plugged in correctly.

I only have 2 daisy chained together and the two that are are my back fan and the last one on top on the rad and they're the ones that are fine.

they're all the same model and all plugged into one commander core. two are daisy chained but they're not affected. The only colors I notice there is not really any difference on is red, yellow, and dark blue, everything else the 3 front fans are always slightly off from everything else.

Hmm, were they all purchased at the same time or in the same pack? Some Corsair fan models have different generations that use different LEDs, so they'll be the same fan model but a slightly newer or older version. And if they are all switching to the same color and are synced it's just the hue/brightness of the color that's weird I'd have to go with they use different LED types so the colors are a little off. The only way to fix that would be to replace the fans.

The front 3 we're the ones that came in the case when I bought that. The back fan was purchased separately about a week later then the fans on the rad came with that which was bought about a month or two later don't quite remember.

Yeah, so they're all going to be either different models or different versions. Only way to fix this would be to buy new fans and make sure they're all the exact same.

the only thing i can think of is different versions cause they're all AF120 fans.
