[SOLVED] 3 pin to 4 pin RGB connector

[Mamba36]

I just got the ASUS GT301 TUF GAMING case which comes with 3 RGB fans at the front. All the fans are connected to the hub that comes with the case which connects to the motherboard via a 3 pin ARGB (addressable RGB) connector but my MOBO (ASUS PRIME B460M-A) only has 4 pin RGB connectors so I can't control the lights via software and it kinda sucks. Any ideas for ways to get this to work?

If you want software control, you have 2x choices:

1. buy a MoBo that has the 5V ARGB header on it.
2. buy ROG Aura Terminal and connect your fans directly to it, skipping the case's RGB hub. Specs: https://www.asus.com/Motherboard-Accessories/ROG-Aura-Terminal/

Thanks! I'll check those out!
Kinda sucks because I just got this new MOBO but oh well haha.. So I'll probably go with the terminal, just one question, why should I skip the hub and not connect from the hub to the terminal?

Since into the hub, you can connect, what, 8 fans? And if you expand the RGB fans amount in your PC case, you can overload the ROG Terminal channel.

ROG Terminal manual:
The addressable header supports WS2812B addressable RGB LED devices (5V/Data/Ground). Each channel supports a maximum of 90 LEDs, with total channel support of maximum 210 LEDs.

With 3x fans, using the hub shouldn't be the issue, if there's less than 30 LEDs per fan.

Thanks for the answers!
