Phanteks RGB strip not working

Matty Giles · 26 Dec 2020 at 17:55

Recently I purchased some phanteks rgb strips ( 2 x 400mm) and plugged them into a addressable gen 2 rgb header on my motherboard. However when i tried to control them with the software I am getting no response from them apart from a single bulb which switches on and of sometime. Am I doing something wrong or is there something wrong with the strip? Thanks

May be missing my mark, but I think it's the RGB header you want to be plugging them into. if you plugged them into the aRGB header that's a 5volt output RGB is 12V if it's the Phanteks branded LED strip that needs to go into the RGB header next to the a(dressable)RGB.
If you're lucky you will have damaged nothing, at worst you may have blown out that aRGB header

The phanteks are 5v and have a slot dimmed out so they wouldn't fit into the 12v rgb header

Yeh that's exactly what I did and got only a little green light coming from it

Yes I have the digital rgb led strips from phanteks. I am using armoury crate and there is no calibration button on there. Thanks

I do not have any other argb device to try. I put a rgb into the other 12v and it was fine. Yep I have already selected all compatible devices to sync. Thanks
