MMm You might want to try the latest software as the version you are using is quite old. Your running v1.0.2 the link below is for v2.1.5 its the latest version I could find. Not completely familiar with the non-plus riing fans.

That is correct. You will have only a spot for 2 x 120mm on the bottom when all the hdds are in use. 

The sides have a very small gap at the top and bottom that is not really useful .Yes mounting them in that fashion is more meant for radiators as it will serve no benefit for any other use then that. But the bottom of the case is going to be the source of most of your air. 

Here is a pic of the bottom that I snapped when I was doing my build 

 
Here is a pic of the gap on the side using a penny 

 

Tack! You saved my Day!! THX for the assistance. 

Thanks for the support Tack!

What gpu are you running
 
Have you tried uninstalling it and deleting the tt folder at C:\Users\*your username*\AppData\Roaming\Tt
if you want to save any profiles you have copy the riing plus folder in that directory and replace it after you test the new install
 
as for the standby not to sure about that never really use standby anymore so have not done no testing with it

yes there is 

To make the program start up just on taskbar right click the TT rgb icon on the taskbar tray

you will see a option that says "Run TT RGB Plus Program when Windows starts" 
It has a box next to it click it. 
If the box is solid like below it will open on your desktop at startup

If the box is hollow like below it will start on the taskbar tray.

 
 
 

ahhhh you need to disable the ones that are not in use by clicking the green circle line thing

once you have clicked that the green circle will turn red and be disabled and the software will no longer look for a fan/plus product on that port

Hi,
Next next version of the TT RGB Software should resolve the HDD pings, we are testing beta already on this.
I have seen you be very concerned about this, so look forward to your feedback.
Schedule should be ready by the end of this month. 1.2.3

The 9 pin cable with the micro usbs on the end should go to your usb header 
 
how ever you only having one header on the motherboard it is most likely in use.
Your best bet will be to get a internal usb hub if that is the case 
here are 2 that are currently on the market

https://www.amazon.com/Nzxt-Internal-Controller-Black-AC-IUSBH-M1/dp/B01IFGFTJ2
personally I have the Nzxt for my riing plus controllers as Thermaltakes hub was not out at the time.

lo mejor que puede hacer es contactarlos para decirles que necesita un reemplazo para el controlador
support@thermaltakeusa.zendesk.com
ellos señalarán la forma correcta de completar el proceso

en este punto, es posible que desee solicitar un rma para un controlador de reemplazo de 20 mm

desconecte la energía del controlador con los 20 MM y espere unos segundos y luego vuelva a enchufarla para ver si aparece

cambiar 20 mm al puerto 1

deberían ser configurados así tiene tus tres ventiladores como NO.1 y los 20 mm como NO.2

¿Ambos aparecen en el software ahora?

usted no tiene el micro usb conectado

Veo el controlador riing plus que es el otro controlador. intente conectar el usb solo al controlador en el que está enchufado el 20 mm

No creo que el riing y el riing plus sean compatibles entre sí. Creo que el software peleará entre ellos.
qué software tiene instalado para el riing y el riing plus
intente probar con el único controlador riing plus conectado al encabezado usb. Hice un círculo debajo.
luego cargue el software TT rgb plus y vea si aparece. También asegúrese de que los interruptores en el controlador estén configurados como la segunda imagen
 

 

does your power cable look like this with the mesh 
If you can post a pic 

It's not that each controller has it's own profiles it's more so the profiles are shared across all controller. That being the reason that a second profile needs to be set up for the third controller. So it doesn't affect the setting being used by the first and second controller. So any controller that is on the same profile number will be affected by any change done.  All in all it is strange
 

The Riing plus 20 has 2 models one with a controller and one without. The tt sync controller needs are digital rgb header to work. your best bet return both and get the riing plus 20 with controller

The riing plus controller run via usb and doesn't require any rgb header. 
 
The TT sync controller does require a rgb header.
 
As for another controller give support a call I am sure they can hook you up.

There is enough room even with the 2nd 200mm but if your plans is to not use the drive bays you might want to take a look at the Level 20 XT. It is built off the same base chassis as the x9 but with some small changes. I have had the core x9 for some time now and plan to upgrade to the Level 20 XT. 
It is estimated to be out Q3 of this year so its close.
 
But all in all the x9 is still a great case
