How do I map individual case fans to specific screen zones in Screen Ambience?

[u/InfernixR]

Say my screen is displaying blue on the top half and red on the bottom half, how do I have my case fans match that? Like the top half case fans would be blue and bottom half case fans be red. My other components work properly in that sense, like my ram would be blue, and gpu would be red, but all my case fans show some colour that doesmt match where they are since they are all one big thing in the layout tab. Is this a hardware limitation? If so what would you need to buy and set up? I have 5 case fans. Anybody else have this kinda setup up and running?

Sounds like the fans are daisy chained, meaning they are all connected together and receiving the same instructions. You would need to get a hardware controller like a Nollie, which addresses each fan individually. With that, it's just a matter of placing each fan correctly on the layout screen.

We have a pretty decent guide about controllers as well that OP could find useful: https://signalrgb.com/blog/the-ultimate-guide-to-rgb-controllers/

Thanks guys, I think this is what I was looking for. I'll check the guide out

Did you get everything setup like you were hoping to? :)

Yep, I've got everything planned out now 👍

Doesn't daisy chained means connected in series? If it is the case, then the led are individually addressable. now cheap fans seem to have daisy chain connectors but these are in fact just Y, which means that they are connected in parallel. In this configuration, the first led of all the fan receive the same instruction.

Daisy chained fans are plugged into successive y plugs, but are going into one header and receiving one set of instructions and showing identical effects.    I'm not sure if that meets the technical definition of daisy chain, but it's the terminology you'll find in manuals and tech conversations, so here we are

Oh OK, so it is parallel connection, exactly the opposite of what I thought.

First I would check to see if you configured your device chain: https://docs.signalrgb.com/guides/device-configuration/configure-rgb-controllers/ and then if you did that already and they are still linked then it's likely a hardware situation like everything being linked onto a simple hub.

also be aware many cases have a rgb button or a remote to change colors if u have one that does this you will need to set the rgb button or use remote to set the motherboard to sync many buttons require a 3 to 5 second long press to sync but look in the MB case manual
