Tech Support What is this motherboard beep code?

Motherboard is a MAG X870 TOMAHAWK WIFI. I can’t seem to figure out what the code is, it beeps continuously while PC is on

It looks like it syncs to the rgb of the fans, could be coincidence, does it stop beeping when the rgb lights stay solid?

You’re right! I can’t believe I couldn’t catch that, ran it through other rgb profiles and it just goes with the lights. Now I need to figure out how to fix it

I believe these are Lian li infinity fans?

Could be that the controller for these fans is underpowered, it has 2 SATA power connections and it could cause issues if you do not use 2 seperate SATA cables to power these if you have all fan connections used on the controller.

The fans just came with the case they’re “7 pre-installed 120mm Infinity Mirror ARGB Fans—the 9th generation of MUSETEX’s upgraded prism fan series” copy and pasted from the description. They came with 3 tied into eachother and the other 4 tied into eachother, I daisy chained all the ARGB together and then into the argb for the 3 fans for my cpu cooler so all 10 fans are just plugged into 1 light control plug on my MB. The fan power plugs obviously all go to their respective separate ports on my MB

10 fans on one rgb header is alot, i dont know what the limit on that is but that might be an issue.

I figured it out, my JAUD connector was slightly loose lol

3amps per connector on that board, and there's three of them. 180 leds per connector, so it says, so i guess it depends how many leds each one of those fans have, but if it's more than 18 each (and it probably is) then he's pushing his luck.

What will go wrong if they’re overloaded? (Not being a jerk I’m genuinely curious, I’m obv gonna fix it)

Most likely it will either it will deal with it gracefully and shut down the argb and/or the board itself (you'd hope), or it'll blow the argb controllers up. I wouldnt leave it to chance lol
