Besides plugging the fans into its output ports, it needs TWO connections. I suspect from your description that you have what I call a Fan Hub.

IF for any reason you do decide you need to use the "fan controller" you bought, you have made errors. In that system each fan's lighting cable can be plugged into an outlet from the previous fan, and only the first one in the sequence plugs into a mobo header.įor the fan motors, if you connect each of them to its own CHA_FAN header, just check in BIOS Setup that all of those headers are configured exactly the same (probably already are by default) so all the fans do the same thing. The second cable with a wider connector with three holes plugs into a mobo ARGB header for their power and control, but I believe those fans' cables are designed for a "daisy-chain" connection scheme. This plugs into a mobo CHA_FAN header to power and control the MOTOR only in the fan. One ends in a smaller connector about 3/8" wide with four holes, and two ridges running down one side. Your Lian Li case came with several fans that include ARGB lights in them. So if you have five CASE ventilation fans or fewer, you can easily plug each one into a different mobo CHA_FAN header. The CPU_FAN and CPU_OPT headers should be used only for CPU chip cooling devices because they are guided by a different temp sensor inside the CPU chip. These are where you should plug in case fans because they are guided by a temperature sensor on the mobo. 1-8) designed for use with case ventilation fans. Your mobo has 5 CHA_FAN headers (see the manual, p.

You have not told us exactly what fan controller you bought.
