Addressable LED Strip doesn't work properly

Devonodev · January 25, 2018

I have 2 CableMod Addressable LED Strips, one is 30cm, the other 60cm. They plug into a 3pin header on my Z370 AORUS Gaming 5.

When I first plugged one in while setting everything up, it worked and was glowing blue with the rest of my PC. The next time I tried however, only a few lights on the whole strip glow green. Both strips do this nomatter which header I use. I can adjust the rest of the motherboard LEDS, but nothing at all with the strips. Also worth mentioning that as soon as I plug the strips in they glow green, they don't turn off when the PC is off with everything else. They just permanently glow green, with most of the strip turned off.

I don't know if there's an issue with the strips or the motherboard or if I broke something, but nothing I do seems to make any difference! Hopefully someone has an answer, thanks.
