Tbh, I quite like the contrast of having the RGB sandwiched between two sets of non RGB fans like that.
Should be fine, then. As you say, must be a BIOS issue or maybe the headers are faulty ( hopefully not ).
It should be backwards compatible, hopefully a new bios sorts it.
Did you get the USB 3.2 Gen Type-C connector working?
. I had a lot more on my mind at the time of ordering them.

I have the 750e and it sure was confusing to set the cables in the right place. Double check the cables and which connectors you're using. Modular my ass!
I’m just surprised there is zero life, not even standby hums or anything. Can’t think what I have missed.
Have I broken something? I’ll check I haven’t missed a cable. What’s the minimum I need to do to get signs of life from the PSU?
If I put my ear up to the PSU I can hear a very faint clicking.
I’ve worked out where the lights are on the MB. Surely all it needs is the main power connector in order to show signs of life?
Even re-adjusting the fans you'll probably find temps remain high. I'm running with 9 fans ( 3 intake on bottom and side, 3 exhausting through the AIO radiator at the top ) and I consistently get 45 degrees with a light load. Thought about re-pasting my CPU ( using a plastic AM5 guard and spatula to spread the paste evenly across the whole IHS ) but after researching CPU temps over the last few days I've come to accept that somewhere between 40-50 degrees is what the majority of people are getting for idle temps with the 7800X3D. There are a few who claim to have mid 30's but they are very much the outliers. At the end of the day my system is stable ; no crashes at all and 70 degrees is about the max I'm getting playing games etc.Have left it so far, but I’ll be back in the case tomorrow for the reason below that I just came to update this thread with.
I can’t explain why it occurred to me this morning when I started work, but I realised my RGB ‘intake’ fans are the wrong way around, probably explaining my slightly higher than expected idles. In other words, I have bottom intake x3 and front, rear and top exhaust x7
Finding a ‘reverse’ fan kit that looks good on the front (without the fan bars across) and with decent RGB is surprisingly tough, but I’ve settled with these. Looked at a few Lian Li offerings, but couldn’t settle on any. Had a few other options, but didn’t like the RGB arrangement. So settled on these:
Phanteks D30 Reverse Airflow 120mm DRGB PWM Fan Triple Pack - Black
Order Phanteks D30 Reverse Airflow 120mm DRGB PWM Fan Triple Pack - Black now online and benefit from fast delivery.
Not to everyone’s taste, but I like them and they’re better than all but the Lian li’s that I’m not sure I can justify £45 a fan on. I may well use my current ‘intake’ fans, that are actually RGB exhausts when positioned in the designed way on top of the case.
It’s a pretty minor issue, but having not built a pc in ages I want this one to be right. It’s bound to help with a few degrees in the case too.
Got them in just before tomorrows shipping window closed, they are now on the way, good work OcUK
