Aurora R16, AWCC fan speed always at 22°C?

Question

Bought an R16 and I'm generally happy with it despite forgetting to check the liquid cooling option (that should be the standard option IMO, no option to use aftermarket coolers). This is a completely air cooled system.

Anyway, is it normal that the AWCC sets a single fan speed for each mode that doesn't change regardless of temperature? For example, while in performance mode the fans run at 22% while idling around 45°C and remain at 22°C while the system is under load and running at temperatures between 74°C and 80°C.

Second (less important) question: Does anyone know the pinouts of the LED connectors on the motherboard?

Some typos above where some degrees should be percentages and vice-verse.

Had a conversation with tech support and that's the intended operation (static fan speed per mode unless extreme temperatures are achieved).

Also, looking at the fans connector for the led, it looks like R, G, B, 12V and two jumpers and it isn't clear which is which. Maybe a multimeter can pull some measurements to verify which is which.

Same here got to 77c and still 22% fan speed for the cpu.
