Question ARGB without headers on motherboard, ARGB Controllers & Case fan/argb hub ?

[fuzeblocks]

Hello, i have a Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H motherboard and it doesn't have ARGB headers.
So i want to buy new fans with argb.
I found this on amazon https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B08Y8N8ZH2?ref=emc_s_m_5_i_atc
Do you think the hub can control this fan ?

Thanks !

The controller you've linked is for RGB devices, if you're in need of an ARGB controller, you're going to need something like this;

Just an FYI, ARGB and RGB are not the same thing/standard/interface.

Yes, but my motherboar doesn't have rgb/argb port.

Also it doesn't have the software, I would like to be able to change the color.

The item linked above is an older design with some features you do not need, like ability to accept and use lighting signals from the mobo. Their more recent item here

https://www.coolermaster.com/en-global/products/led-controller-a1/?tab=overview

is ONLY an ARGB Controller. It gets power from a SATA power output from the PSU, and it communicates with your mobo using a cable to a mobo USB2 header. Then it has three 3-pin standard ARGB output ports. You download and use a software tool (MasterPlus+) for free that communicates using that USB2 connection. With that tool you do all configurations and adjustments of the lights. This unit does NOT require ANY lighting header on the mobo.

One small note. There is a new version of ARGB called Gen2 that can do some extra things, but it works ONLY if you have a Gen2 Controller (this one IS) AND Gen2 lights. Most ARGB lights are NOT Gen2. So the Software package will have a setting within it whether to use the new Gen2 mode or the Original mode. Assuming you do not have Gen2 lights in your fans, set this to Original.

Yes, that Razer Chroma Addressable RGB Controller also will do the job for you. The software they supply is called Razer Synapse 3.
