One RGB Fan is not the same Color as other #84

Hello,

I have the following problem with a fan in my Sharkoon TG5 RGB case: All fans and RGB Stripe can be addressed correctly, but one of the front fans always has a different color.

Can this be due to the software or do I have to contact the manufacturer because of hardware errors?

Seeing as the fans are set to "white"-ish, that would suggest the fan is either not plugged in all the way or there’s no electrical contact between the ground pin and red/blue channels.

Seeing as you have plugged all of your stuff into the same RGB port, I would suspect that the fan or cabling is bad, but you will have to figure out the cause yourself.

thanks for the hint of a defective cable! that was the issue.
