I thought the same. They were behaving super weird and really took me for a loop as i was following manual of the fans and hub..
Not precisely, i'd press once, it would light up, then power down after a few seconds, then i'd press a second time, the same would repeat, 3rd time would make it boot properly, i wasn't spamming the power button. I'd only press it once, let the PC do its thing, and only press again once it was powered down
The power cable seems fine. Its a new one. I had to buy a new one cuz my old one is capable of less amperage (my old rig) plus i predicted issues and that i'd need my old rig and didn't want plug and unplug the psu all the time.
Yea i'm only using the cables from the RMi that came. I don't have any other modular cables available so i couldn't even if i wanted to

I wasn't suggesting you were mashing the power button over and over. I wanted to clarify that after the computer attempted to power up, it did not shut down and then automatically (try to) re-start again. (A MOBO will do that sometimes, like after making RAM timing changes). Rather, it would try to power up, shut down, and you had to push the power button again for anything to happen.
Anyway, good to hear that you can take it somewhere and get it tested. I really think you are going to find out that it's the power supply or something annoyingly simple like a pushed in or poorly crimped pin in the ATX 24-pin connector. The erratic behavior of the fans and LEDs I think is a separate problem that is probably not related to the failure. I have never used TT RGB products or software, but if you were seeing a bunch of errors in the software and the fans/LEDs were acting strange, then its a fair bet that there is a problem, but I don't think it caused the overall failure.
You said you have 2 TT hubs with 4 fans in each, with the TT "Bridge" cable connected between them. Once you get the main problem fixed, I would try disconnecting the 2nd TT hub and the bridge cable. See if you can get 4 fans on 1 hub to work properly. Then disconnect the 1st hub and test the 2nd hub with its 4 fans.
Also, the TT hub plugs into a USB port on the MOBO, then a bridge cable connects TT hub #1 to TT Hub #2. Did you also connect TT hub #2 to a USB port on the MOBO? Its not clear from their crappy instructions, but if the 2nd TT hub is not supposed to plug into a USB port on the MOBO (because of the bridge cable), I could see where if it was connected to a USB port, it may confuse the software and cause erratic operation. This is speculation but I would review that wiring carefully.
Good Luck!

Snow,
I have no idea how this could kill your mobo. I have eight TT fans and a cooler. The fans operate totally seperate to the cooler. I ditched the hubs that came with the RGB Fan Packs and used the TT synch controller premium edition. You don't get the TT's many lighting options, but the fans all synch to the mobo. https://www.thermaltake.com/Cooler/Cooling_Accessory_/Fan_Controller/C_00003143/TT_Sync_Controller_T...
Those errors are only for the RGB, your fans should have still been connected to the fan headers.
What cooler is connected to your CPU header?
Are you sure you didn't have a short somewhere with one of your plugs? And are you sure your mobo is dead?
I know you are a perfectionist and all, so am I, but I had a dodgy 24 pin, one of the pins had recessed slightly. Have you checked that you have power to the board??
