Hi all
Tried hard to trouble shoot this one but starting to think something is faulty.
Put together a build into an NZXT H510 elite with the front facing RGB fans. I have mounted an x63 kraken to the back of those. I have also added an RGB fan to the back and top of the case making 4 fans total.
After a lot of confusion about how to wire up the RGB fans with the smart device, I have at least figured out how to daisy chain for the RGB and now the 2 extra case fans light up, however, the front facing fans which came pre-installed do not light up at all. To make matters worse NONE of the 4 fans are spinning at all which is leading me to believe something is wrong with the smart device, even though it clearing is getting power as 2 of the fans are lighting up.
When trying to boot, the MSI debugging light goes to CPU and then quickly to the DIMM's where it hovers for a bit before switching back to CPU. It then just keeps going back and fourth between the 2.
I have checked and double checked all connections.
The smart device with the fans plugged in is as follows:
Both front fans into splitter and then into Fan 1 (this is how it came pre-installed).
Case fan x 1 into Fan 2.
Case fan x 1 into Fan 3.
Both LED connections on the smart device were used up out the box.
All RGB is working apart from the 2 preinstalled RGB fans at the front and the LED strip - neither of these are working.
The smart device is powered by both the connection to the PSU via SATA and another power cable via USB directly to the motherboard.
When turning switching the PC on, the motherboard gets full power and everything lights up including the kraken x63 althought I'm not sure whether the pump is actually working or not as it's very quiet.
Please help, I have run out of ideas. I'm guessing the root of it is in the fact that the fans aren't spinning but that all leads back to the smart device?
Has anyone else built into this case before that can help?
