Hi guys, I have a little problem with my Corsair fans. I have a CoolerMaster Storm Stryker case which comes with 2 stock fans with 2 connectors each - one for the LEDs and one for powering them. The Corsairs only come with 1 connector and that is the problem now - I think the power gets split up or something and the LEDs flash when the fans are not at full power, they just turn on and off all the time. Can I by any chance fix this? How can I stop them from blinking? Also the LED on and off button on the front panel doesnt work with the Corsairs :( I would appreciate any help. Thanks!

If your motherboard has ample fan connectors it'd be a good idea to hook the Corsair fans to your motherboard. The reason the lights are fluctuating is due to the fact that the power to your fans is paired with your LED's aligned at the chassis of the fan while the power delivery may very well be pulsed thus the flashing of the LED's on your fans.

Might I ask what your full system's specs are? You could avert the above mentioned issue by going with a PWM splitter like this which will probably be enough to handle all fans that require a 3/4 pin(not molex) connection.
