Windows 10: SOLVED: Mastercase H500p - front fan LEDs not working

Hi there,


I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post this question, but I'm having a hard time finding an answer...


I recently bought a PC tower (CyberPower Gaming Knight Elite MSF091802 Desktop) from the Microsoft store. I needed it for its powerful graphics card, but thought the LEDs in the front were quite neat too!


I've since received and set up the workstation, and it works a treat. However, I've not been able to figure out how to turn the LEDs on the front/top of the case on.


Here are the case specs: file:///C:/Users/daria/Downloads/Product_Sheet_-_MASTERCASE_H500P.pdf

The case came pre-built with the graphics card and hard drives. I assumed the LEDs would be set up too, and they appear to be connected inside (the fans are spinning and all LED cables look plugged in). The case also came with a small remote for the fans. Pressing the buttons on the remote does nothing, even after a battery change.


Any ideas how to proceed?

:)

Cooler Master to Release MasterCase H500P ATX Chassis on October 10th for $149

Cooler Master seems to be gearing up towards launch of their MasterCase H500P ATX Chassis on October 10th, according to a product listing on Newegg. The MasterCase H500P was first pictured during this year's Computex. It's being touted as the successor to Cooler Master's HAF (High AirFlow) cases, boasting of 2x 200 mm fans with RGB lighting as front intakes.

The MasterCase H500P has been stylized with a high quality, 3D-printed exoskeleton look, and features a built-in vertical installation slot for your 2-slot graphics card of choice (which could pose problems due to airflow restriction, though we should reserve judgement for now.) There are cable management covers, a side window made of tempered glass, a PSU shroud, and radiator support stands at 120 mm, 140 mm, 240 mm, 280 mm and 360 mm for the front of the chassis; 120 mm, 140 mm, 240 mm, 280 mm and 360 mm for the top (with a maximum thickness clearance of 55 mm), and a 120 mm or 140 mm radiator on the rear panel. Front ports include 2x USB 3.0/ 2x USB 2.0 and Audio In & Out. The Cooler Master MasterCase H500P ATX Chassis is now available for pre-order from Newegg for $149.

Cooler Master Announces MasterCase H500P Mesh White Chassis

Cooler Master, an award-winning computer hardware manufacturer, today announces the launch of the MasterCase H500P Mesh White. For a system being pushed to its limits, the Mesh White offers unrestricted airflow.

Behind the mesh sits two, pre-installed, 200 mm RGB fans that propel air into an all-white interior chassis. The space and capacity inside ensures that the case is easy to build in and cable management is as streamlined as possible. The combination of tempered glass and industrial lines gives the H500P a refined, functional appeal for your build to look as great as it performs. "The H500P represents what building a PC is to us and our community-it's fun, rewarding, and self-expressive." -- Matteo Stracciari, Case General Manager.













Upon closer inspection, the mesh on the front panel is not just steel mesh. There's a second layer, or screen, that is finer and purposed to filter dust. That tidbit of information is easy to miss if you're hypnotized by the spinning RGB fans. Below are some more features of the H500P Super Awesome Mesh White.

Two 200mm RGB fans behind Mesh front panel - Optimized airflow is guaranteed with a complete mesh front panel providing plenty of air intake for the two pre-installed 200mm RGB fans. Use the RGB lighting to create a captivating build in your preferred color theme.

Covers for Clean Building - A PSU shroud, CPU cut out cover, and additional cable covers take clean cable management to the next level. Assemble clean builds like a pro.

Show Off Your Graphics Card - Two additional PCI slots at the rear enable you to show off one graphics card in the vertical position. All of this is seen through a light grey tinted tempered glass side panel, ideal for showcasing your build with (RGB) lighting.

Liquid Cooling Ready - The MasterCase H500P Mesh White accommodates up to 360mm radiators on the top and front.

RGB controller and 1 to 3 Splitter Cable for RGB LED Fans - The included RGB controller can be connected to the reset switch to manage the lighting of the two 200mm RGB fans. Also, the RGB Connector Splitter and 4 pin male to male adapters are included.

Airflow is not just about cramming air into the case, it's also about efficiently directing the air to move through the system. The particular placement of vents on the top cover is key in channeling the flow of air to reduce system temps. Along with directing airflow, there's ample room for advanced builders looking to house complex components like custom liquid cooling. Whether builders decide to use air cooling, closed loop, or open loop system(s), the H500P's layout offers room for development.

The MasterCase H500P Mesh White is expected to be available from 1st March , 2018 for a suggested retail price of €159.99.
