Hello all 🙂
I've just built myself a new rig. I'm using the Asus Rampage VI Extreme mobo (bios version 1004). I've fitted an EK RGB monoblock (clear version) to it. I've installed the latest Aura software (version 1.05.28)
Unable to get the monoblock to light up..........................................................
Now the mobo aura lights work just dandy no problems there at all.
Monoblock wire is a 4 pin female connector although it only has 3 pins within.
I've connected the monoblock wire to the RGB header pins on the mobo. I've had no luck at seeing it light up. I've used both RGB header pins on the board. Connected female pin connector front & back ways when original position did not work. In my tinkering I actually seen the block light very briefly for a few seconds before going off & never lighting again. I guess that tells me the block does work. I've found no settings to help me in Aura or in bios. Just the simple options to turn off/on in different power states.
I'm at a loss what to try next. Could it be a bios bug, or aura software issues. Should I be seeing an option within the aura software for cpu/monoblock or something. The only thing seen at the top is "Motherboard icon" & next to it "Add strip icon" No features within have made a difference.
Anybody got experience with this board & it's RGB capabilities ? help would be very much appreciated 😄

Thanks for replying AkaNe@Asus
Yes I am using the EK-FB ASUS ROG R6E RGB Monoblock - Nickel version.
I've tried using the add header with the mono cable (arrow end) connecting to the 5v pin. Still no light up. Maybe I have to accept the fact, I will not be having bright flashy lights on my monoblock 😞
I suppose when building a new rig, there's always going to be one or two things not working as it should. At least the computer is functioning healthy & the mobo lights work a charm.

Thanks for the advice.
I've made a ticket with EK support to see if they can help. If nothing comes of it, I may have to just make peace with it & move on. Possibly revisit in the future when I carry out VGA upgrade or something. It's time to get on with software installations.
BTW, You know the internal mobo speaker. Is it a big deal if they don't beep at all. I used a brand new speaker that came with my thermaltake 900 case. I've never had a beep since I finished this build. It's connected properly into the correct pins. I've switched positon sides to make sure it's facing the correct way. Also disabled fast boot in bios in case that played a factor. I was wondering is it a defected speaker or maybe my motherboard just doesn't do the beep beep song period. Although in the manual it mentioned beep codes.

Did they change the strips to addressable?
Mine is 12V with 4 wires that plugs into one of the RGB headers and works just fine.
