[SOLVED] Can you use rgb fans without a rgb header?

[FastbackNL]

Hello,
I am making a budget build for my sister know and i was wondering,
If you can use rgb fans without a rgb header. Because the motherboard bought doesn't have a rgb header.
Is it posible to connect it to molex or some kind with a controller?
I would like one that works with rgb fans.
Do you guys have any sugestions?

Thanks for reading!

In theory yes but wouldn't have any control of it. RGB is 12vdc so you could connect to a Molex (Black and Yellow wires) but that would result with stationary colors.

Thanks for the replies but i think the Corsair commander pro is too expensive for me.

How do you do that or what do you have to buy for it?

Would the https://www.megekko.nl/product/0/17...ZVRXooPPts9MCHXl58RjIUbDPQUICf_saAjrWEALw_wcB also work?

Yeah. Just check what pins your fan headers require, 3 or 4 pins. But this should still work.

But you can't control the lights or can you?

With that RGB controller you sent, you should be able to. Just follow the instructions that comes with it.

How can you do it with software or how does it work?

Can control it with the Corsair cue software.

EDIT: Actually I may be wrong about yours. Look for a controller with a USB port/cable with it. You need one to control the colors. The one you linked will just allow you to plug them in, but not control them.

Do you maybe know a cheaper one or do i just have to go for static collor fans or is there any other solution?

lol no. It needs fan header pins for the fans and USB cable that goes into your board. I honestly have no idea what you sent me is for.

Assuming your case uses 120mm fans.

I just don't get why this one won't work:

? Because you can control it with the controller and on the video it works fine

And i will just buy a 1to3 3-pin connector for it!

If that's what you want, go for it.
