Are your GPU’s RGB fans not showing up in SignalRGB? Don’t worry—I’m here to help you fix it step by step. Whether you’re customizing your PC or making it look cooler, I’ll show you how to get it working.
Step 1: Check If It Works with SignalRGB
First, make sure your GPU and its RGB fans work with SignalRGB. Not all GPUs are supported. Check SignalRGB’s supported devices page to see if your GPU is on the list.
Step 2: Check the Cables and Setup
Bad connections can stop your GPU’s RGB fans from working with SignalRGB. Here’s what to check:
| Part | What to Look For |
|---|---|
| GPU Power Cables | Make sure all the power cables are plugged in correctly. |
| RGB Headers | Check that the RGB fans are in the right 3-pin or 4-pin headers. |
| RGB Controller | If using a controller, make sure it’s connected to your motherboard. |
Step 3: Update SignalRGB
If your software is out of date, it might not recognize your GPU or fans. Here’s how to fix that:
- Open SignalRGB and go to settings.
- Look for updates and install the latest version.
- Restart your PC after the update.
Step 4: Update Drivers for Your GPU and RGB Fans
Your GPU’s RGB fans need the right drivers to work. Do this:
- Visit your GPU maker’s website (like NVIDIA or AMD).
- Download and install the latest drivers.
- If your RGB fans use extra software, update that too.
- Restart your PC when you’re done.
Step 5: Set Up SignalRGB for Your GPU
If the fans still don’t show up, it might be a settings problem. Here’s what to do:
- Open SignalRGB.
- Go to the “Devices” tab.
- Click “Detect Devices.”
- Make sure your GPU and fans are added to your setup.
Step 6: Test with Other Software
To make sure the hardware isn’t the issue, try your GPU’s RGB fans with other software like:
If the fans work with other programs, the issue is with SignalRGB.
