re: Issue with Corsair fans not being detected by HUB in iCUE - Fans work, but no RGB effects

Are you overloading the fan outputs on your motherboard by chance? Sometimes when you put 2-3 or more fans on a motherboard fan pin out or RGB pin out the power consumption is too much for the motherboard especially during startup.

Honestly, have no idea...I don't think so? I used CyberPowerPC to build the PC, so I'm not really familiar with PC hardware and how everything works. Not a great idea, I know, I've just never delved into it. Each set of 3 fans came with an individual hub, so I'm assuming power isn't an issue. I've contacted Corsair & CyberPowerPC to see what they say.

I may try opening up the PC, unplugging the cable to the fans and/or hub, and plugging it back in to see if that does anything. Unfortunately, I didn't pay attention to the size of the case when I was creating my PC and went with the Lian Evo Dynamic XL full tower case so now I have this 60lb beast to try to handle.
