I honestly love this cooler, but I think I'm gonna move on to another one soon, it just looks... A bit to bland compared to other flaming red (literally) coolers on the market.

Sorry I can't be of any help but thought id mention my akasa 6channel fan controller is also playing up..
When I have 2 fans running its fine no problem but as soon as I crank up a third fan the lights flicker and they all slow down.. when I have 6 running the power to each fan has to be minimal other wise they don't work correctly?
Strange?

Fixed the problem. I used the extension that used to come with the FC4. Now I directly connect it straight from my psu and it works!
