My PC has an ASUS Prime H610M-A WIFI D4 motherboard, which has three ARGB headers (ADD_GEN 2_1, ADD_GEN 2_2 & ADD_GEN 2_3). I replaced all my fans with 4x Thermalright 120mm ARGB and 1x Arctic 140mm ARGB. Power-wise, they're all running perfectly (and quietly!), but nothing is lighting up. I have daisy chained all five fans to ADD_GEN 2_1. I know that the Arctic fan has 12 Gen 2 LEDs in it, although I can't find out how many the Thermalright ones have as their website isn't too great at spec info. The header is supposed to take up to 120 LEDs, so I can't see what the problem is, unless the Thermalright ones are absolutely packed with LEDs! I've checked the ASUS BIOS and the LEDs are already set to on.

So, can anyone help, please? Thanks in advance :)
 
check bios if the argb is on or off
if there's no bios setting for aura sync then you may need to install armory crate
Yes, checked the BIOS and ARGB is on. I turned it off and then turned it back on again, just in case, but no dice. I have Armory Crate installed and it's telling me that I can have 120 LEDs per header. I'll try just adding one fan and see what happens.
 
You need to know the model numbers
Of the thermalright fans really
Yes some fans have a crazy amount of leds
30--40 leds

I would connect 1 thermalright fan
To a argb header
Then use signal rgb to find how many leds
Are in the fan

Theres a couple of ways to do that
Either add the fan as a custom led strip
Tell it say its got 10 leds
Increase the number until all the leds are lit
Or do it in reverse
Tell it 50 leds then keep lowering the amount
Until leds start to go off

Or Somewhere in signal rgb
You can individually "paint" every led
Same thing just increase until theres no leds left
To "paint"
Then you know how many leds are in the fan

And wouldn't recommend armoury crate
Its a total PITA
