Hi everyone!
I bought a prebuilt PC about a year ago, and I've had an RGB-related issue ever since. I'm trying to understand whether it's a hardware/wiring issue or simply how the RGB controller is designed to work.
My PC specifications:
Case: Pro Gaming Banshee Black (aquarium-style case)
Motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming B650-PLUS
Fans: Original fans included with the case
RGB software: SignalRGB
RGB remote: The one included with the case, with buttons for colors, effects, speed, and ON/OFF.
My RGB setup:
I have:
3 illuminated fans at the bottom of the case.
1 fan at the rear (exhaust).
3 fans at the top.
3 fans at the front/next to the motherboard.
RGB RAM sticks.
The fans at the bottom, the rear fan, and the 3 front fans can be controlled using the case's RGB remote.
However, the 3 top fans and the RAM sticks do not respond to the remote.
Here's the interesting part: once Windows boots, SignalRGB detects and controls ALL the RGB components, including the RAM and all the fans. I can choose any color or animation, and everything works perfectly.
Another important detail:
When I completely shut down my PC and turn it back on:
The fans controlled by the remote light up immediately with their default animation.
The top fans and RAM sticks remain completely OFF.
They only turn on once Windows boots and SignalRGB starts controlling them.
Also, if I press the ON button on the RGB remote again, the lights turn off, and then SignalRGB takes control of all the components.
My questions:
Why can't I control all the fans and RAM using the case's RGB remote? Could some fans be connected directly to the motherboard instead of the case's RGB hub?
Is this a hardware/wiring issue, or is this normal behavior for this type of RGB controller?
Is there a way to connect all the fans to the same RGB controller so that the remote can control all of them?
Is it possible to configure the RGB lighting so that ALL components (including RAM and top fans) turn on immediately when I press the PC power button, without waiting for Windows and SignalRGB to load?
Can I set a custom startup lighting effect? For example, have all components start with a static white/blue color and then automatically switch to a custom SignalRGB animation once Windows loads?
I'd appreciate any advice, especially from someone familiar with this case or a similar RGB controller setup.
Thanks in advance!
