Hi, so i set up my Pironman5 installed all the latest updates on my Raspberry and configured the case over the web dashboard. I switched RGB enable to off and rebooted the system. The fans however still began lighting up in their RGB colors. So I opened up the terminal and typed pironman5 -c to see wether the settings checked out and it also says: rgb_enable: false BUT the fans are still lit so I don’t know what the issue is. Does anyone know? Thnx 
Hi, yes I have followed all the steps on the installation guide for the Pironman case. But I was wondering about something on the installation guide before I met the RGB Problem. My config file says:
BOOT_UART=1
BOOT_ORDER=0xf461
NET_INSTALL_AT_POWER_ON=1
It doesn’t say POWER_OFF_ON_HALT and the BOOT_ORDER is also different, might this have something to do with the RGB’s not being controllable? I can turn the fans on and off through the dashboard but I can’t set the RGB color and neither turn the RGB’s off, yet they do turn off when I power down the case and everything else is fine as well.
Thnx for your reply and attention to this matter
Just add the line POWER_OFF_ON_HALT=1, save it, reboot and shutdown. Supposed to work.
ok done that but the RGB’s are still not controllable :o my config file now says:
BOOT_UART=1
BOOT_ORDER=0xf461
NET_INSTALL_AT_POWER_ON=1
POWER_OFF_ON_HALT=1
Ok, I was thinking that your problem was RGB fans still ON when pironman5 get OFF. Which model on pironman5 do you have? Standard, Mini or Max.
Just the Pironman 5 normal one. Sorry for the miscommunication. No, the issue is that the fans RGB LEDs are not controllable when the fans are on. As soon as I turn the fans off over the web dashboard the RGB colors also turn off and the fans also turn off when the case is turned off
Unfortunately there’s no control for the RGB colour fans. I’ve the same pironman5. I recently replaced those fans by blue fan from Amazon .
Ah I see, didn’t know that, thnx for the info I might shop around for some non-RGB fans then. Are the 5V-DC fans that you’re using working fine?
Yeah, they work fine, a little bit more noisy than original but look great in blue, all my case is lightning in blue.
Alright, looking good haha Thank you for all your help! Really appreciated it, thanks a lot 
I also add ws2812 RGB strip from my old pironman v2

The RGB fan LEDs in the Pironman 5 case cannot be controlled separately; the RGB fan and the LEDs share the same GPIO pin (GPIO6). Therefore, if you want to turn off the RGB fan LEDs, the fan will also turn off.
Commands to control the RGB fans:
Control RGB Fans Documentation
sudo pironman5 -gm 3
sudo systemctl restart pironman5.service
4: Quiet: The RGB fans will activate at 70°C.
3: Balanced: The RGB fans will activate at 67.5°C.
2: Cool: The RGB fans will activate at 60°C.
1: Performance: The RGB fans will activate at 50°C.
0: Always On: The RGB fans will always be on.
These modes determine the conditions under which the RGB fans will activate.
Regarding your mention of disabling the RGB switch, this feature should refer to the control switch for the onboard RGB LEDs on the IO expansion board, not the RGB fan control switch.

UPDATE: I now bought two noctua NF-A4x10 5V fans for my Pironman 5. The fans come with a 3-pin to 2-pin adopter so no cable splicing required. I had to use my Dremel to grind down the plastic a bit on the 2-pin connectors so that they fit onto the fan-pins of the Pironman 5 but other than that the installation was super easy. I also used the supplied silicone dampers to mount the fans onto the case, since I didn’t want to enlarge the holes for the screws on the back of the case. Thank you to everyone that contributed to my question
