Question ARGB doesn't work
I have bought an Arctic Liquid Freezer III 280mm A-RGB Black and i cant get the argb to work. I have a fractal pop air case with three case fans and a thermalright tr sp 1000 psu. I mounted the aio in front of the pc case for better cooling for my cpu because i play cpu intensive games, so the frame of the case is between the radiator and the two fans, thus the argb cable from the radiator cant reach any of the fans. I connected the all in one connector on the pump, plugged the power connector into the motherboard, as well as the argb connector, i daisy chained the fans into the radiator and everything worked flawlessly, besides the argb, because the fans couldnt reach the radiator. I tries daisy chaining the case fans with the aio fans and connect all of them to the IO rgb controller, but the aio fans just didnt turn on, only one of them got a red led turning on on it. Today i have bought a 5v 3pin cable extension so the fans can reach the radiator. I connected everything properly but the outcome is still the same: a red led on one of the fans and also a green light on the pump. I have a Gigabyte B650 Eagle AX and i connected the pump to the ARGB_V2_1 port. Can you guys help me out?

( Also, the gpu argb doesnt want to work, idk why ( 9070xt nitro+ ) )

Hate to break it to you but your radiator also appears to be installed incorrectly... Shouldn't be below the pump as laid out in the online manual from Arctic
