Corsair Fans appear warm or cool on white mode

[Captain]

Hi all.

Please give me your two cents here. I have these Corsair RGB fans that are doing a different colour white, however I can't tell a difference when set to pure R, G or B.

Any colour mixing from the primary colours, and I can tell a difference once again.

1. I swapped out the 120mm at the back with the supplier thinking there had been some kind of LED burnout, but the same thing happened.

2. Have also tried the different ports on the RGB controller.

Are all the fans the same model and all corsair?

It's somewhat of a common problem, but you can fix it by adjusting the values of the red, green and blue.

It seems those two fans have too much green, so try lowering that value.

So:
Red 255
Green 230
Blue 255

Alternatively, play around with the colour wheel in icue until you match the white of the other fans.

I have LL and SP 120's and the white on them didn't match.
Had to adjust the values on each.

Thank you.

Have tried this, but it seems the controller doesn't like the different fans I have.

In lighting setup, if I choose all round SP, there is no control over RGB. LL and ML PRO RGB work strangely.

Also the software groups the different lights on only 3 of the 6 available RGB ports.

I'm pretty sure I can match the warmer white however I can't get the fans on the required RGB channel

You need to answer the question on which models all the fans are.

Corsair RGB controllers officially don't support mixing and matching different models of fans on the same controller. You can get it working but it's a bit wonky.

If they're all the same model then you should just be able to set the lighting setup to the correct model.

White is notoriously crappy.

Also, have you tried grouping with splitters to utilise the three 'groups' the controller has? Alternatively if you can group the two 'warm' ones together and try to adjust them manually you can maybe match them? Must admit I've always bought matched fans so haven't had this issue.

White is a pain. The LEDs don't have the exact same brightness for 100% red, 100% blue and 100% green. 100% on each colour channel could effectively be something like 100% green, 102% blue and 103.5% red. With mismatched fans it's even worse, and each will need to be set individually.

The only "real" way around this is with RGBW LEDs, but a quick Google search suggests that bulk pricing is more than $ 1.00 per LED vs as low as $ 0.01 per LED for RGB.

What fans do you have?

I have a mix of SP120's and LL120's on a commander pro and I was able to set each fans temperature and get an even match.

1x SP 120
2x LL 140
3x 4000x case rgb fan (unsure of model, but Corsair forum says could be SP elite 8-led fans)

iCUE 4000X RGB - what fans come with the case?

I can't seem to figure out what fans come preinstalled with the iCUE 4000X RGB Tempered Glass Mid-Tower ATX Case. I've read through the product site a few times but nothing specifically indicates the fan models. On the back of the fan the M/N: (assuming model number) is RWF0051, yet looking this ...

By any chance are the fans that are not matching a different age or were used with a static colour for extended periods?, if so then some of the LED's might have extra wear on them that will lead to white appearing tinted with the colour of the strongest LED (Either Red, Green or Blue)
