I still can’t. They have power daisy chained to Sys Fan and I’ve daisy chained the 3 pin rbg connectors together like shown in the video but the fan lights seems to flicker and the tbh case button doesn’t change the fans, just the button colour. Update: Turns out the actual RGB I/O board thingy that controls the case RGB was faulty on mine. Works perfectly via motherboard. Contacted Fractal and they sent me a new board. Hope this may help someone!

It’s been a while since you’ve posted so this is a shot in the dark. I actually moved my current PC into this case from another as a size downgrade and aesthetic upgrade. But now that I’m moved into it, I can’t get the PC to power on. I had it working in my other case right before swapping. I believe the Power SW is in the correct spot, my power supply wasn’t unplugged from itself just put back into my mobo and GC, when I swapped back. Not sure what’s going wrong tbh.

I bought an MSI PRO Z790-P WIFI DDR4 motherboard. Where would I plug this into the board so software can control the lights? I would ultimately like to use an Elgato StreamDeck to control all of the lights on my PC so I can turn them off at night while allowing the PC to still run. Thank you.

Thanks for the video! Just hooked son up with a new gaming PC for his 20th b-day (OMG!). Appreciate the detail as the case docs are a bit slim and couldn't figure out why we couldn't get the RGB button to control things. Docs aren't super clear with using the SATA power plug for the lights. I figured it was related but didn't catch that the SATA light connector just went into a SATA drive power plug. Very nice case for the price and hard to beat. When do you think is a good time to move to a radiator for cooling? Got him a i5-10400F Processor with the MSI Z490 Gaming Carbon Wifi board.

Hi, I was hoping if someone could help me. I have a 8 and 6 pin cable extender GPU question that I had recently bought. I have a 1070 Ti video card that has an 8 pin with a 6 pin port. However because of the tight fit of the mini-ITX case, the door is unable to shut because the connectors (the one that came with the PSU) are way to stiff for the door to shut. They stick out preventing the door from closing. And so I'm using the 8 pin and 6 pin extender which are very very flexible. The door closes and the build is finished. However I do have one major concern, since one of the 1070 Ti has a 6 pin port, is it safe to plug the PSU Y-Splitter 8 pin cord directly into the cable extender (8 pin port) THEN connect the other side *which is a 6+2 pin connector, of which I am only using 6 pins* into the 1070 port? Or do I need to REMOVE the 2 pins connecting from the PSU cord that goes into the extender which matches the 6 pin port that is on the 1070? Thanks for any help.
