well im glad you made some progress.
most PSU cable connectors is the same while the Voltage output from the PSU may be different from manufacture to manufacture. i just resently found this https://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/2702-psa-on-mixing-modular-psu-cables-dont-do-it
take the corsair premium psu cables for example. it only works with a few corsair psu's. i dont get why there is no standard psu power output as it relay should be, but ohh well.
is there any info on how much voltage is supposed to be on each pin on the controller?
its weird that i still have this problem now that i have a thermaltake psu with the stock cables that came with the psu and everything. i can change the led's on the cpu block but my 6 fans is just static no mather what i do in the software.
