6. Otkrivanje problema

6.1 Kontrola brzine ventilatora

The pre-installed fans operate at a fixed speed via the included fan hub. They are not directly controllable via motherboard fan headers due to their proprietary 6-pin connectors. If variable fan speed control is desired, an aftermarket fan controller compatible with these fans or replacement fans may be required.

6.2 RGB osvjetljenje ne radi

• Ensure the fan hub is correctly powered via its Molex connector from the PSU.
• Verify that all fan 6-pin connectors are securely plugged into the fan hub.
• Check that the IR receiver is properly connected to the fan hub and is not obstructed.
• Ensure the remote control has working batteries and is pointed directly at the IR receiver.

6.3 Front Panel Ports Not Functioning

• Verify that the USB 2.0, USB 3.0, and HD Audio cables from the front panel are correctly connected to the corresponding headers on your motherboard.
• Ensure the power and reset switch cables are correctly connected to the motherboard's front panel headers.
