ARGB Fans flickering when power is turned on

I recently build a new PC, in noticed that the ARGB of a few fans blink every time i turn on on the power to the PSU.

I have 5 Argb Fans + 2 Argb CPU fans, i have daisy chained the the 2 CPU and 2 front fans and connected to the motherboard and the rest i have daisy chained and connected separately to the motherboard. It's on the the front & CPU fans that blink once, the others don't.

The PC boots normally and the ARGB runs fines then.

Should i be worried ? how do i fix it ?
 
Totally normal - ARGB blinking on PSU power-up is usually just a brief desync as the controller initializes. Since everything runs fine post-boot, it’s not a fault. If it bugs you, a powered ARGB hub with memory (like from Cooler Master or Deepcool) can help keep things consistent. Nothing to worry about though!

Shouldn't it do that for all argb fans ? Only 3 connected together are do it.

Do fan quality also matter ? Arctic fans are not blinking but the Deepcool (CPU Cooler) & Lian Li case fans are blinking

You can temporarily try connecting the problematic ones directly to check if the issue is happening due to daisy chaining.

So it connected all the Argb cables to the cases RGB hub and connected to the motherboard, it still blinked. So I connected it to another arbg connector on the motherboard and no more blinking.

The connector point seems to be the issue.
Would the faulty point cause further problems to the motherboard as a whole ?
 
That header seems to be faulty but there is nothing to worry about as long as you have a different header available and it works fine. Just use the good one. I've my doubts that you can RMA the board because of this problem, so it's better to keep using it.

One more thing, argb and RGB are not the same. The first one operates at 5 volts and the non addressable one operates at 12 volts.

I aware that RGB and Argb are different and the Argb cables doesn't connect to the RGB header

I don't want to RMA for just this reason, if the faulty header will not ruin the board i have no issues to continue to use the board.

It's new and RMA will take a long time.

Thanks for the help
