CM Storm Trooper > Can't detect chassis fans

[PF85]

Hi there. I just got myself a CM Storm Trooper and hooked up a ASRock Z77 Extreme4 inside of it. It all works fine except for the fans. They spin around, but theres no light (as far as I know, they should glow red) and I can't detect the RPM of the fans.

I'm not that hardcore when it comes to building computers, but I just can't see where I've gone wrong. I've connected the fans to the cabels from the fan controller on top of the case. The only fan I plugged into the motherboard were the CPU fan.

I know that its not a huge amount of information, but I'm hoping for some help. Also, if theres any information you need, then please say so.

Thanks

I tried to post a picture, but I don't know how to do it.

did you connect the little 2 pin connectors for the fan leds?

if you did try pressing the led on/off button

just below the main power button

LOL, that took care of the LED problem. Thanks

Now theres only the RPM problem left

dont think fans connected to the fan controller will show rpms

i have the storm trooper

but also using a 6 channel fan controller so my fans except the cpu are connected to that

they dont show rpms

i just adjust them according to noise and cpu temperature as monitored by realtemp

Yeah, that might be it. So what you're saying is that I have to choose between plugging them into my motherboard and be able to detect the RPM or plug them into the controller and not detect RPM?

yes
