Question BeQuiet! 600 LX with MSI Z790-S WiFi Motherboard - icompatibility RGB vs ARGB ?

[mazzar-el]

The BQ 600 LX has ARGB headers that are daisy chained with the final 2 connectors going to the motherboard. The case's connectors are SYS_FAN and a 5v 3pin FEMALE connector, but the MSI MoBo does NOT have the RAINBOW connector. The ONLY connector is for a 12v RGB 4-pin.

Does anyone know of an adapter that would translate the MoBo 12 (electrically 12v to 5v and PHYSICALLY 4 pin to 3 pin)?

Thanks.

Adapters like that don't exist...because they(ARGB and RGB) are two different standards. You'll need to change the motherboard out for one that has an ARGB header or an USB driven ARGB controller like this;

Just checked AMAZON. No longer available. I won't be changing the MB as this is a new MB just installed. I'll have to find a different adapter. Thanks.

You can search Amazon for ARGB hub and there are several alternatives. Most are powered by a sata cable so if you have a spare one they should work.
