How to get Corsair Carbide front fan lights illuminating

[Cavs]

Hi all,

I just setup a second PC from some old parts into a Corsair Carbide Delta case with 3 front RGB fans.

Everything works except the illumination of the RGB fans....

Now firstly I have discovered I have an old Asus Z87-A mobo without RGB headers (my bad for not thinking about this)

I then purchased a Corsair fan hub controller thinking this would work, but no lighting still.

I did install ICUE but nothing detected.

Any thoughts or suggestions? What do I need to do to get these RGB fans lit up?

Hi thanks for your reply - I have just whipped the case off and checked, they all have the 2 leads and i can see the one is a RGB lead. The RGB leads from all 3 are joined up to a splitter. The model number "A1225M128" is all i can see without stripping them out....

So they should work i would have thought

Regards

Thanks.... Tried the one fan one lead, retried on another, and reconnected the hub to a different SATA lead, sadly no recognition in ICUE4. So really stumped now. Might just leave as is for now sadly

Thanks for the suggestion Danny, I will try that out and post the result

Sadly the new (well old 3.8 ICUE) software did not recognise the hub either, so sadly I either have a hub fault, or something else wrong. Thanks to all who offered up suggestions in any case -its no big deal as it was a Sim rig, my main rig is still all lit up nice

Hi Aaron,

If you go ahead, please let me know how you get on. I suspect i might have a faulty component somewhere, but i might retry in the future ( still not working for me)
