Question Connecting Addressable RGB Strip to the motherboard ?

[amir-shami]

Hello everyone!

So recently i bought the WS2812B Addressable RGB strip and i found it really complicated to connect it to my motherboard, so i wanted to put it inside my case but i don't know how to connect it.
So please would anyone tell me what do i needs to buy additional in order to connect it ?? Or i just need to connect it to the motherboard directly?

My PC Specs:

AMD Ryzen 5 2600
MSI gaming z geforce rtx 2070 8GB
corsair vengeance rgb pro 16GB kit 3200
water cooling corsair h100i rgb platinum
PSU Corsair VS550w 80+
Motherboard: msi b450 gaming pro carbon ac
NVME samsung evo 970 500GB
Kingston hyperX 120GB
Case Cooler master lite 5

The led stip i have is WS2812B Led Pixel strip
Waterproof grade : IP30
Power 9W/M (3.3ft)
Connection
still confused and didn't know which port i need and how to connect it correctly.
Please if anyone could help me doing it i would gladly appreciate it!!!
Thanks in advance!

OK, that's a JST-SM connector. You'd have to build or buy an adapter for Mystic Light => JST. You may also run into a limit on the number of LEDs ... IIRC, Mystic Light will only drive up to 100 LEDs from a single header. The other option is to remove the JST connector and splice on a Mystic Light connector.

Sorry, i didn't get it, i should connect the Led strip to JST-SM and then to the Motherboard? and no i won't have problem with the led because it won't be more then 200 leds since i have 2 headers.

You would have to make or purchase an adapter for Aura => JST. Phanteks, I know, ships them with some of their products and it looks like you can buy them separately as well - https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA6J377W0096&ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC-_-pla-HQmade-_-Cables+-+Internal+Power+Cables-_-9SIA6J377W0096&gclid=CjwKCAiA4OvhBRAjEiwAU2FoJZlvmxOpxZ5950NmjN7OZuAS_gPM52MEPeyOyUyFQu10RJW9q4pouhoC9uoQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
