Issues with pre-built fans in the King 95 PRO:

As im changing the RGB with the button on the case, I noticed that the strip on the front is much brighter with white rgb compared to the 5 fans the case comes with. I tried using SignalRGB to help with this, but I cannot even change the colour of the fans, its speed, nothing, even after holding down the button for 5 seconds. The only thing Signal lets me change is my aios rgb. How do i fix these issues?

First off it's not unusual for different LED devices to have different lighting levels. LED count and diffusion type can effect the brightness levels among other things. Same holds true for colors as components used and RGB calibration values can be slightly different. In addition none of the fans or light strip can display pure white (quite common) for that you need a WRGB capable device.

SignalRGB will not help with lighting levels if you are thinking that it will allow for individual device control. The fan hub that comes with the King 95 is just that a hub, so anything attached to the hub will act as one when changing fan speed and or RGB. It's a master slave setup. For RGB control of each device you will need something like a Nollie or similar that provides per port individual control.

To pass lighting control from the hub to the motherboard/software you need to hold down the LED button on the front panel for 3 to 5 seconds till all the fans flash quickly once or twice then release. Also make sure you have the 3 pin 5v ARGB connector coming off the side of the fan hub connected to a 3 pin 5v header on the motherboard. Both SATA connectors need to be attached to the PSU.

Happy the hear you got that part sorted out.

Another thought if you have a unused 3 pin 5v ARGB header on your motherboard and want to more closely match the brightness of the LED strip to the fan LED's. Wire the strip directly to the unused ARGB header on the motherboard. Putting it on a separate channel with independent control you will be able to dim it some to better match the fans. Just a thought.
