Question ARGB Compatibility?

[chriswa2002]

Hey everyone

I got a fan kit for my pc a while ago but didn't bother with the rgb part.
But now i am intrigued and want to turn them on, i searched and found that rgb is different from argb, where could i plug them in my motherboard? I have a B550a pro motherboard.

Thanks for the help in advance.

The fans have standalone connections for both PWM and ARGB.

I have a B550a pro motherboard.
Is this your motherboard;

?
If so, the ARGB header on the motherboard is referred to as JRAINBOW1 and JRAINBOW2, respectively.

You can hook up to 5 ARGB devices off of one header. If you got a splitter like this;

ARGB 1-to-5 Splitter Cable

Addressable RGB 1-to-5 Splitter Cable allow users to extend multiple addressable RGB LED fans to build up aesthetically beautiful lighting systems. With the length of 50 cm, you can get the lighting you want without any hassles.

or their 1-to-3 splitter, you should be able to pair the 3 fans off one header on your motherboard.

Simple answer, you're good to go with that motherboard + fan combo. On another note, if your fans are RGB , then you hook them up to the JRGB1 header on your motherboard.

Please refer top pages 40 and 41 in your motherboard's manual;
