Razer core x Chroma trouble. pls help


Just bought a used Chroma and I wanted to see it up with my MacBook Pro and eventually install bootcamp I cannot get it to work. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or the thing is broken. Can you guys pass help me to find it out somehow?
I connected it with the MacBook usb type c charger, also added an external monitor via HDMI and followed the steps that the YouTubers did, but no nice fancy RGB led lights light up. I think I can hear a little noise from the PSU from inside the chassis but it is very very quiet. I don't know if it is the psu not working or it is just so quiet. it charges my MacBook Pro though. Im trying to use it with an old AMD card (R9 270X) which supposed to be compatible with the system.
PLEASSE HELP!!
Thank YOU!!

If it's windows, i can definitely help with your problem. lets assume its windows maybe u can try this step on ur Mac
so on windows, theres Device Manager. you go there and reinstall the driver and check your synapse if its detected. Do u have synapse installed ?

Thank you for the reply. Its macos, will want to set it up with windows bootcamp as well. Thats the main goal, but still waiting for an external ssd to install w10. I know thereis no synapse 3 on mac, but I just ordered another cable since the one I was trying to use was only a usbc and not a thunderbolt. Maybe That was the problem?

!@#$#$@%@#$%#@$% *V* :eek_: indeed ROFL. u need thunderbolt to make it work -_-"

Usb-c only transfer 480 Mps and Thunderbolt is 40GB - that's only 1% of your bandwidth T_T
