Never actually thought of ARGB as PWM because we need 2 separate cables for such a fan to actually have adressable RGB and speed control. Also because of the different voltages. Thank you for this analysis. I am just concerned about per-port max amperage/wattage on both mobo and external hub...

I want to plug in 3 PWM ARGB fans (the other 3 are 6-pin cougar plug, that I already connect to the PSU anyways) and the 2 led strips (for a total of exactly 4,5A lol). As far as strips and the fan power we are ok but since each one of the fans RGB consumes 0,74A with a total of 2.22A (in one...

Then I guess I have to do some good math. An idea to avoid another controller, is to do this, connect the 3pin male of the deepcool rgb hub (in which I can connect individually the 2 3pin Phanteks led strips) into a 3pin female-to- (x2) 3pin male connectors, one for the argb and the other for...

Are you sure the hub in the link you posted can handle 54W? I don't see that in specs. I found this coolermaster hub and it says POWER SAFETY CURRENT: 4.5 A (Max) and RGB SAFETY CURRENT: 2.0 A (1 Port) / Total 4.5 A ( 6 Ports) That means a total of 22,5W, I mean is the coolermaster so much...

So the solution is an extra controller like this, since the argb header is safe and it's only for rgb control, while all power to the LEDS on the controller is drawn by PSU? If its powered by the mobo's header, what's the worst thing that could happen if it can't handle the wattage of all RGB...

Hi, recently built my gaming rig and chose a B550 Tomahawk featuring 2 ARGB Headers. First (JRAINBOW1) is used for 3 propitiatory 6-pin argb case fans (which are also connected to PSU via SATA, each fan 18 LEDs/1.8W - is all power drawn by PSU, or also by mobo?) and the second one (JRAINBOW2 )is...
