[SOLVED] 5v to 12v question

[candyflip]

So I'm buying a case that comes with 4x ARGB 5v 3-pin Fans which is the Orbis F1. But I think my mortar max only supports 12v 4-pin.
What would be the best way to deal with converting the 5v to 12v? I found the DeepCool RGB Converter but I'm not sure if that is the only solution to the problem. I would appreciate it if you share your opinions. Thanks!

Yep, you need an ARGB 3-pin (+5V) to RGB 4-pin (+12V) converter like the DeepCool RGB Converter.

Such a converter does work, but you will lose some of the appeal of ARGB fan lighting. A plain RGB light system can show many colours, but at any one moment the entire light strip (or fan frame) is all one colour until it changes. In an ARGB system, the strip (or frame) can display many different colours along the length, so you can generate a rainbow, or even a rainbow that chases itself along the strip. If you do as you plan, the plain RGB header on your mobo can only generate the types of light displays a plain RGB light unit can do, and that is what your fan frames will do, too. No multi-colour fancy dsiplays.

I see. Thank you for this very useful information! The ARGB does have beautiful lighting. Right now, I'm leaning towards just buying 6pcs. RF120 fans for the whole case

Does this mean unless I change my mobo to one with a 5v argb, Ill never be able to use multi colour?
