Question case fans question

[lunareclipse19]

My case fans has 3 wire output in a 4 pin connector. But my motherboard has a only "12v GRB" 4 pin header. Can I control my fans lighting color using an external argb controller? Please response fast. I need it badly.

Case fans either use voltage or pulse width modulation, one uses a 3 pin connector, one a 4. I can’t remember which.

You can buy an ARGB controller, I have no idea how customisable the lighting effects are. These tend to be sata powered and come with a remote. They don’t need to interface to your motherboard.

Can “convert” 12V 4 pin rgb to 5V argb but they have their limitations

Plugging 5V ARGB 3 pin plugs into 12V RGB 4pin headers can cause damage.

Use a converter or buy an independent controller.

You would be best getting an external as the voltages might be different
