If the blades are not lighting, that is how the fan is built. The description calls it a clean ring-only look with the blades deliberately unlit. Nothing is missing and nothing needs configuring to make them light, because there is nothing there to light.
Spotting dark blades on a fan that is supposedly lit tends to trigger an instinct to troubleshoot. With the Amici Pro, there is nothing to fix - the blades staying dark while the ring glows is exactly how AsiaHorse built this model.
If the blades on your Amici Pro fan are not lighting, that is correct behaviour, not a fault. The pack (R399, VAT-inclusive, prices move) uses a clean ring-only design where only the infinity mirror ring lights, and the blades stay unlit by design at all times.
The product description is explicit on this point: a clean ring-only look, with the ring lighting while the blades stay unlit. Nothing about your installation, cabling, or software settings is missing if the blade area stays dark - there is simply no lighting hardware there to activate. Checking twice is reasonable the first time you see it, but a dark blade area on this specific model is expected.
No. Since there is no LED array in the blade region at all, no setting in any RGB application - motherboard software included - will make the blades light up. Any brightness, colour, or effect controls that do exist apply only to the ring itself, connected over its 5V 3-pin addressable header.
A cleaner look is the stated reasoning - a lit outline framing the fan reads differently to a fully glowing face, and some builds specifically want that restraint rather than maximum brightness everywhere. It is a deliberate aesthetic decision rather than a cost-cutting one, though it does happen to sit at an accessible price point in the range.
If lit blades are what you actually wanted, other models in the AsiaHorse range take a different approach. The Amici 5GT carries a 24-LED infinity mirror with additional lighting, and the Nyota Ultra layers its LEDs into the mirror ring differently again. Worth comparing before assuming every AsiaHorse fan behaves the same way as the Amici Pro. See the full case fans range to compare lighting styles directly.
Even though the blades staying dark is normal, an unevenly lit ring is not - if part of the ring itself is dark while the rest glows, that points at the 5V 3-pin connection rather than being part of the intended design. The ring should light consistently all the way round; only the blade area is meant to stay dark. Confirm your connections through case accessories if you need extension cabling to reach a chain of fans.
No, this is the intended design - the ring lights while the blades are meant to stay completely unlit at all times.
No, since there is no lighting hardware there to begin with, no application can add illumination that does not exist in the fan.
For a cleaner overall look, where a lit outline frames the fan rather than the whole face competing for attention.
The Amici 5GT uses a 24-LED infinity mirror and the Nyota Ultra layers LEDs into its ring differently, both lighting more than just the outline.
Yes, over the standard 5V 3-pin addressable header, exactly like any other addressable RGB component would connect.
