- PWM Connection: Verify the 4-pin PWM cable from the controller is correctly plugged into a motherboard fan header.
- Daisy-Chain Connection: Confirm all fans are properly interlocked and connected to the controller.
- Software Settings: Open L-Connect 3 and check if fan speeds are set to 0 RPM or if a profile is selected that prevents spinning.
ARGB Lighting Not Working
- Controller Power: Ensure the controller is receiving power via the SATA cable.
