Question addressable RGB headers and non-addressable RGB headers

[BeaverPrincess]

So im trying to pimp up my Rig but there is something im not so clear about these headers
If i want to control my Enermax T.B. fans through Aura Sync, do i have to connect them all to the ''Addressable RGB Header'' or the non Addressable is fine?
If so then what are the differences between these 2 Headers?

My Motherboard is the Asus TUF x570-Plus.

I havent bought the components yet just trying to plan it out first.

addressable RGB headers and non-addressable RGB headers

Read it from the asus forum https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?94271-Addressable-vs-Non-Addressable-RGB-Header

Now back to your Q.

1. The Enermax T.B. fans have the regular RGB (+12, G,R,B) pins so you have to use the non-addressable RGB header from your MB.
2. Your MB has both headers, 1X addressable (+5V) and 2X non-addressable (+12V), so don't mess it up. Download the MB manual, read it before you plug into the right RGB header.
3. Also download the Enermax T.B. fans manual too, it will show you how to connect the hub and these fans. https://www.enermax.com/home.php?fn=eng/product_a1_1_6&lv0=4&lv1=121&no=384

Motherboard features:
2 x Aura RGB Strip Header(s)
1 x Addressable Gen 2 header(s)

Fans are compatible with the 4-pin RGB header(s) on motherboards.

Note: Addressable RGB LEDs run on 5V, do not connect them to a non-addressable 4 pin header with 12V.

Non-addressable RGBs, the whole strip/array of RGB LEDs displays one color at any time. This color can transition, shift, breath/pulse, etc, across the entire RGB LED colour spectrum - and AURA provides a variety of snazzy themes/effects - but every RGB LED is always exactly the same colour as all its neighbours at any given instant, the whole strip is "all or nothing".

Addressable RGBs, each RGB LED (or segment/block of RGB LEDs) can display a different color and intensity than its neighbors. Some could be lit in one color or lit in another or more intense or less intense while others are simultaneously displaying something else. Everything that non-addressable RGB does but more fancy animation/striping/chasing effects are possible. Higher cost and complexity.

Sorry, you can't do it, only our mod can. Why do you want to close it? because you get your answer. And if you want, I can do it for you.
