How do I change the fan color on a Signum SG1X TG RGB without the remote?
Connect the case’s RGB controller to the motherboard’s 4‑pin RGB header, then control colors in MSI Mystic Light. “Plug into pin 4 and download the software.” [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #18289597]
What does “connect to pin 4” mean on an MSI B360M?
It means use the motherboard’s 4‑pin RGB lighting header, not a front‑panel or other connector. This header carries the RGB control signal for your case. [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #18289647]
Where is the RGB header on my MSI B360M board?
Open your case and check the silkscreen labels on the PCB. Your manual shows exact header position and naming. Look for a 4‑pin RGB header. [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #18289687]
Which software should I install to control the lighting?
Install MSI Mystic Light from MSI’s support page for your specific motherboard. After installation, select devices and choose effects and colors. [MSI Mystic Light]
The MSI site mentions AMD and Intel—does Mystic Light still apply to my MSI board?
Yes. Mystic Light is MSI’s lighting control for compatible MSI motherboards. Download it from your board’s support page and manage all RGB devices. [MSI Mystic Light]
Only my motherboard’s thin white line lights up. Why don’t the fans react?
Your case RGB controller is not linked to the motherboard yet. Connect its 4‑pin RGB cable to the board’s RGB header, then retry Mystic Light. [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #18289687]
How do I wire and control SG1X TG RGB via Mystic Light?
- Power off and connect the case RGB controller’s 4‑pin cable to the motherboard RGB header.
- Boot Windows and install MSI Mystic Light.
- Open Mystic Light, select the case lighting, then pick your color/effect.

Do I need a physical remote to change colors?
No. Once the case RGB controller is plugged into the motherboard’s 4‑pin RGB header, Mystic Light handles color and effects control. [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #18289597]
What if my motherboard lacks a 4‑pin RGB header?
Then motherboard sync won’t work. Use a compatible standalone RGB controller or the case’s bundled controller/remote kit to change colors. [SilentiumPC Signum SG1X TG RGB — Product page]
How many colors and effects can Mystic Light control?
Mystic Light supports 16.8 million colors and multiple lighting effects for compatible devices controlled through your MSI motherboard. [MSI Mystic Light]
I didn’t get a paper manual. Where can I find header info?
Download the PDF manual from MSI’s support page for your exact B360M model. It shows diagrams and RGB header locations. [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #18289647]
How do I confirm everything is working after connecting?
Open Mystic Light and change an effect. The fans should respond along with the motherboard lighting. The original poster confirmed this fix with a screenshot. [Elektroda, zwyklo, post #18289878]
