On my RGB fan controller I turned the fans to 0 then I kept pressing it repeadedly bringing them up to maximum speed, when I did that it was like all my RGB colors glitched out for a moment then went back to normal. I can simulate doing this again and I have thinking it might unsync my PSU RGB but it didn't. If I keep pressing one button (fan speed increase) over and over all the RGB's flash then go back to what I have it on.

After doing this, my power supply's RGB automatically became synced with my case fans and ASUS RGB GPU Anti-sag holder. How is this possible? I thought it had to be hooked into the RGB controller for it to sync. I didn't want my PSU colors to be synced with the case fans/Anti-sag holder but it looks like I can't avoid it now.


Now pressing these buttons on the back of the PSU, it won't respond at all. Nothing happens. Previously I always had it on a color cycle mode where it would just cycle through colors now it is stuck being synced with my case fans.

Is it connected to your mbs 5v rgb header?

I don't think it was, I got this computer rebuild/upgraded at a store. When I got it back the PSU RGB was independent of the RGB I had synced on it, I could still change the color and modes from the back. It was automatically synced when I kept pressing a certain button on the RGB remote one day. Perhaps it was a glitch with the motherboard and it was some sort of motherboard functionality hooked up to the PSU that made it sync with the rest of the RGB.

My Z5 Royal Ram, Sound Card and GPU RGB are not synced with the remote and have remained the same.
 
Try OpenRGB https://openrgb.org/
It can replace mobo, keyboard, psu rgb tools and is an all in one.

Somehow your psu is syncing to the mobo, the shop that worked on it probably connected that for you. But that's fine, it will allow you to use OpenRGB for complete control.

But would it actually detect case fans? I don't think it will. The crystal RGB fans I got had a proprietary controller so my AIO cooler fans would sync with them so I ended up not using the proprietary rgb controller and the one already in my computer was used instead. This caused some minor problems like some colors don't correspond to what you press on the RGB remote, the only major problem I have had is I can't seem to make it a orange color at all.
 
Can't hurt to try it. It's designed to work with everything RGB. As long as the controller isn't stand-alone. Anything interfaced to the mobo can be controlled.
