4. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to properly install your AsiaHorse ARGB PSU Cover Kit:

1. Prepare the Cables: Take your existing PSU cables (24-pin for motherboard, 8-pin or 12+4-pin for GPU) and align them with the ARGB light strips.
2. Clip the Cover: Carefully clip the ARGB cover onto your original PSU cables. Ensure the cables are seated correctly within the cover's channels.
3. Secure with Buckles: Use the provided transparent plastic clips/buckles to secure the light strip and cables together. This ensures a stable connection and a clean appearance.
4. Connect to Components: Connect your PSU cables (now with the ARGB covers) to your motherboard (24-pin) and GPU (8-pin/12+4-pin).
5. Connect ARGB Interface: Locate an available 5V 3-pin ARGB header on your motherboard or an ARGB controller. Connect the ARGB cable from the cover kit to this header. Ensure the connector is oriented correctly to avoid damage.
6. Adjust Placement: Once connected, adjust the placement and curvature of the covered cables within your PC case for optimal aesthetics.

5. Operating the ARGB Lighting

The AsiaHorse ARGB PSU Cover Kit supports 5V 3-pin Addressable RGB (ARGB) synchronization. This allows you to control the lighting effects through your motherboard's software or a compatible ARGB controller.

• Motherboard Software: If your motherboard has a 5V 3-pin ARGB header, you can use its dedicated software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome Sync) to customize lighting patterns, colors, and brightness.
• ARGB Controller: If your motherboard lacks an ARGB header, you can use an external ARGB controller (sold separately) to manage the lighting effects. Refer to the controller's manual for specific instructions.

ARGB technology allows for individual LED control, enabling more complex and dynamic lighting effects compared to standard RGB.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your ARGB PSU Cover Kit, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Gently wipe the surface of the cable covers with a soft, dry, anti-static cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
• Handling: Avoid excessive bending or twisting of the cable covers, especially near the connectors, to prevent damage to the internal wiring and LED strips.
• Environment: Operate the product in a clean, dust-free environment with adequate airflow to prevent dust buildup and overheating.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your AsiaHorse ARGB PSU Cover Kit, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• No Lighting/Incorrect Colors:
  • Check if the 5V 3-pin ARGB connector is securely plugged into the motherboard header or ARGB controller.
  • Ensure the ARGB header on your motherboard is enabled in the BIOS/UEFI settings.
  • Verify that your motherboard's ARGB software is installed and configured correctly.
  • Confirm that the ARGB cable is connected to a 5V 3-pin header, not a 12V 4-pin RGB header, as this can cause damage.
• Flickering Lights:
  • Ensure all connections are firm and secure.
  • Check for any loose wires or damaged sections of the cable cover.
  • Update your motherboard's ARGB software or drivers.
• Cables Not Fitting Properly:
  • Ensure you are using the correct cable cover for the corresponding PSU cable (e.g., 24-pin for motherboard, 8-pin for GPU).
  • Gently guide the original cables into the cover. Do not force them.

If the issue persists after attempting these steps, please contact AsiaHorse customer support for further assistance.
