Can you plug in an led strip into the GTX 1080 STRIX

[InfernalPhantom]

I recently purchased the GTX 1080 STRIX A8G edition and was wondering if it was possible to plug in an RGB strip into the two connectors on the side of the gpu shroud. (these are the connectors --> http://imgur.com/a/k6iMg ). And these are the RGB strips I plan to install --> http://www.phanteks.com/PH-LEDKT.html ... This is the connector on the rgb strip up close --> http://imgur.com/a/7ZARA

Thank you in advance

those are for case fans to plug into that would be controlled by the graphics card, Most likely side panel fans.

Do you think there is a was to add an adapter for it to work for rgb strips because my motherboard does not support asus aura sync... or if there is any way at all to plug in rgb strips with asus aura sync.

 

[faalin]

those are only fan headers there is no way to link those to the asus aura. Phantek cases have connectors for those light strips, you would ether have to mod the end of the light, have one of their cases which have a controller in them for the light, or see if phantek sells the controller for them.

The awswer is simply no

like faalin said, u need a separate controller. if u still have an extra 4 pin header in ur mobo, u can use an external controller like the NZXT Hue+ to connect and control the LEDs via software. u have to check whether it can be aura synced via software, cuz Hue+ uses a separate software and for gpu lightning there is a separate software.

If you really want rgb look at nzxt hue+

I have heard of a hub of some kind like this one ( http://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=729&area=en ) that is able to control LED strips with asus aura sync... however I do not know if this is able to sync with my GTX 1080 STRIX's lighting. Also just remember my current motherboard does NOT have an RGB header

For something to be compatible with mobo lightning profile, it should be connected to a mobo header. And of course the controller lightning profiles should be compatible with the mobo lightning profile. Otherwise, u can connect it to a 4pin connector from psu. But u can't control it or rather left with the hardware controls that's there in it already I think. But that's possible only with some models from Thermaltake and such which doesn't have a software implementation.

Edit : just saw the link you posted. Like I said, it either connects with the mobo rgb header and gives you control via software and syncs with mobo lightning or connects via psu 4 pin and gives you hardware controls present in the controller it self. I don't think you can aura sync with the psu connection imo.

Those are their to control case fan speed not for RGB lighting.
They (LED's) should be plugged into the motherboard if you have a slot for it. You never listed the motherboard so not sure. If your motherboard does not have this then you bought the wrong light kit to be able to change the colors you should of bought one with the controller.
