[SOLVED] Cant plug into to motherboard?

[robanswe]

I recently got the phanteks neon lights and i've been trying to set these up for about 2 hours now which is crazy. First issue. No manual, noyoutube tutorials or anything, so that kinda sucks that there isn't any help online. Well i've "set it up" now but this cable wont go in to the mobo. It says LED INPUT and lookd almost like this help

If one contact is blocked on that light strip that means it's ARGB (Addressable RGB) which is not compatible with "ordinary" RGB connector on the MB. There is no adapter that can convert one to other.

So what are my options?

One option would be to buy an ARGB controller or buy another light with ordinary RGB.

<Mod Edit>. Any cheap recomendations?

Afraid not, it would be cheaper to get another RGB light.
