[SOLVED] Best way to get fans working with Mystic Lights or Synapse?

[MagnusKain]

First off thanks for your time and second I apologize of my lack of knowledge of this RGB LED stuff. Here is my issue. I just bought a new motherboard, case, and fans and would like to have them all controlled by some sort of software and sync them all up with games and what not. Right now I have the six smaller ones plugged into a hub that came with them. The hub doesn't plug into the motherboard though. So I can only use the remote that was included to change the lights. The three larger fans are still in route and I haven't got them yet and am starting to wonder how they will plug in at all.

I have this motherboard...
MSI B550 Gaming Plus

with these fans...
6 - 120mm 4pin RGB Fans

and
3 - 140mm 6pin RGB Fans
https://www.newegg.com/p/1YF-01CZ-00002?Item=9SIAZ88EUY7038

What would be my best option to get them all working in sync with something like MSI Mystic Lights controls or Razer Synapse? I assume I will need to buy a hub of some sort?

Thanks again!

to sync all of your 4 pin RGB devices you would need an LED hub that offers enough connections for all of the devices and has a 4 pin out that will run to a motherboard header.

the 140mm fans use a proprietary 6 pin connection that will not work unless you also have one of their proprietary controllers to connect to.
you should return those and get something better that uses standard connections.

Thats probably why I was having such problems finding the right hub... 6pin isn't normal... Thank you.
