[SOLVED] ARGB help please

[chankionna]

I bought the case tuf gt301 and installed an asus strix b450-f, the thing is that I can't connect the argb cables of the case because it seems that the motherboard does not have that connector 😡

You are right - that mobo does not have an ARGB header you can use. However, the case comes with an alternative you CAN use to get light displays and change them manually. See the manual, p. 10 and 11. p. 10 shows the ARGB Hub unit that comes with the case. You plug each of the 3-hole ARGB LIGHTING cables from the fans into the outputs of that Hub. Then you do NOT connect the two-headed cable that would go to a mobo ARGB header. Instead, you use a different cable that comes down from the switch mounted in the top front of the case (see p. 11) into the two-pin connection at the top corner of the Hub. Using the instructions of p. 11 you can change the lighting displays by using the LED button on the case top.

Thank you very much, you saved my life!
So I just connect the HUB to the SATA power supply?

You need to make three connections to the Hub. One is to a SATA power output from the PSU for power. One is a small cable that should come down inside the case front from the top that should have two holes in it to fit onto the 2-pin header on the Hub's top right corner. And of course, you plug in the fans' ARGB 3-pin connectors.
