Zaaaaaack Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 I'm having trouble getting the fan controller on the back to work with my motherboard with this case. I have a Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Master motherboard. I've never worked with 6 pin fan connectors before, and I tried using the connectors in order to connect the controller to the motherboard. I have a 750w gold power supply, so I'm certain that power isn't an issue. I attempted to use the VDG cable, but there isn't a VDG pin. There is a VD_G pin, but no VDG. I even tried to use the other connector to attempt to connect to that spot G_D+5V), but unfortunately no dice for the fans. I know that Thermal Mike said that Gigabyte may in the future change up pins, so instead of using the VDG it would be the other cable. I've checked to make sure the controller was getting power. It is. I've switched power cables to the controller, but no dice. One of the previous builds I was able to get the fans to work, but I didn't plug the controller into the motherboard. It was just receiving power from the power supply. ARGB Controller : [In - mb] ------ VD_G Here is a pic of what I'm working with. Tried to get an actual schematic that shows pretty much everything. Manual Resource Link: https://download.gigabyte.com/FileList/Manual/mb_manual_z390-aorus-master_1001_190219_e.pdf Sorry if this is supposed to be simple, but I'm exhausted after troubleshooting through other builds before getting to this one. I have searched for videos on the internet, but literally there is nothing that shows how to connect from the controller to the motherboard. Not even the Thermaltake manual. I'm hoping the fans aren't somehow shot, because there is no way to take off the front cover as it's tempered glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaaaaaack Posted May 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 It's a beautiful case, but I would not recommend this case. It's a lot more easier to buy a Corsair case or any other case, because I can take the front fans off if need be. From all of my research apparently Thermaltake fans do short out a lot more. Perhaps Thermaltake should stick to an industry standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zagdima Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 I didnt get it. Do you have cables for case leds and motherboard? all you need is to connect pins accordinly. Try to use MSI or ASUS cable they have VD_G pins as on your motherboard. so V-5V, D-Data, _ -empty pin, G-ground. Or make a photo of motherboard pins and controller pins. Also dont forget that you need to hold 3 secs for swithing to software control mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
