Question 12v header 5v strip

[perdboy]

So I bought this rgb strip from Walmart and was wondering if I could plug it into the 4 pin connector on my mobo. The strip says 5v but the header says 12v would this overheat my pc or cause any damage? I dont know how any of it works so sorry if i come off as dumb. My mobo is the b450 f gaming strix motherboard. I did plug it in and it worked fine for a while but I took it out since I felt like it might go wrong and break my mobo.

You'd need a 5V source. Connecting the 5V strip to a 12V source will eventually damage the strip and possibly short the board.

That 5v strip is likely to be aRGB (digital) and that can't work in ordinary (analog) RGB header. You need an aRGB controller. A is for "Addressable".
