Razer Core X Chroma no Side LED Lights & other questions


Nez0w
1- Hello, just received my Core X Chroma, I wanted to try it first without GPU, so I pluged in and it was detected, I installed Synapse 3, and only the front leds are working (with all types of light setups provided by Synapse) but there is no side led ligth at all, could it be becouse of there's no GPU installed ? I noticed, the internal fan is stopped (I think that's normal becouse there's no GPU) back usb ports also working.

Anybody knows why?

2- Also, when turning off my laptop, Razer Core X power supply fan won't auto turn off, it's internal fan is allways on, I have to manually turn it off, is this a normal behaviour?

3- My laptop shows two Razer Core X devices in the Thunderbolt connected devices area (don't know if that's normal too..)

S.O: Windows 10 licensed, new install.
Laptop Specs: HP Omen 2019 - Nvidia RTX 2070 Q max design.


Is my first time here posting since I can't find related info in YouTube or Google anywhere.

If no help, I would contact Razer by chat once they open.

Thanks a lot!

1. As far as I know, the side panel lighting should work even without a GPU plugged in but I'll have to verify this once we have one free in the lab.

2. The Power supply fan will not turn off as long as the power supply is on.

3. This is normal. One for the actual GPU and another of the USB hub.

Thanks for the quick response, would like to know then if the side leds won't work if no GPU installed, since if not I will need to return this unit 😞 , I've waited so long to receive it hehe. If there's anything you can do..! hehe

Too bad but thanks for keeping me in the loop. Will be locking this thread as resolved.

Edit: Thread reopened as requested by @Nez0w.

Well, for anyone that has this problem, once I plugged in the GPU, every LED WORKS 😃, so without GPU it won't have "left side" leds. That's all folks :)
Solved now.
