- Preverite povezave: Double-check all connections to ensure they are secure and correctly oriented. Incorrect connection of aRGB devices can lead to damage. This cable operates at 5V. Do not connect to 12V RGB headers.
4. Navodila za uporabo
Once the Alphacool Y-splitter cable and your aRGB devices are correctly connected, the connected devices will operate in unison, receiving the same aRGB signal from your mainboard or controller. The lighting effects and colors are controlled via the software provided by your mainboard manufacturer or the dedicated software for your aRGB controller.
- Nadzor programske opreme: Use your mainboard's aRGB software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome Sync) or your external aRGB controller's software to customize lighting effects.

- Shranjevanje: If not in use, store the cable in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
6. Odpravljanje težav
6.1 No Lighting or Incorrect Colors
- Preverite povezave: Ensure all 3-pin aRGB connectors are fully seated and correctly oriented. Verify that the Y-splitter's input is securely connected to the mainboard/controller and that all output devices are connected to the splitter.
- Preverite Voltage: Confirm that the aRGB header on your mainboard or controller is a 5V Addressable RGB header. Connecting to a 12V RGB header will damage 5V aRGB devices and the splitter.
- Nastavitve programske opreme: Open your mainboard's aRGB software or aRGB controller software. Ensure that the connected devices are detected and that the desired lighting effects are selected. Sometimes a software restart or driver update may be necessary.
- Združljivost naprave: Ensure your aRGB devices are compatible with 3-pin 5V aRGB standards.
- Test Individual Devices: If possible, test the aRGB devices directly connected to the mainboard/controller (without the splitter) to rule out issues with the devices themselves.
6.2 Loose Connections
- Varno prileganje: Ensure all connectors are pushed in firmly. Some aRGB connectors may require a small amount of force to fully seat.
- Pin Integrity: Inspect the pins on both the cable and the devices for any bends or damage. Straighten bent pins carefully if possible, or replace damaged components.
