Hello, my name is jacob.
My specs:
Ryzen 3 1300x
GTX 1050 TI SSC
PSU- 450 watt bronze EVGA

My motherboard is the MSI B350M Pro-VDH it does not have a rbb fan header.
I was wondering if there was a way to do that.Maybe a splitter or something where the fan connects to SYST_FAN1 or something then connects to the RBG header.Im looking to get the Cooler Master MasterBox Lite 5. The the fan header is 4-pin so is the rbg header so im kind of confused.


Thank you in advance!

At least on mine, it has seperate cables coming from the fans. If yours only has one cable, you’d probably just put it in syst fan. If your mobo doesn’t have enough rgb headers, you can’t stick an rgb splitter on the rgb header, as there wouldn’t be enough power. However, you can buy rgb controllers if you have the necessary expansion slots.

Syst fan is for the fans power. The rgb headers are for the rgb lighting. 2 completely different aspects of the fan. Typically, the rgb one should have a more colorful cable than the power one.

The case I want has three RGB fans in the front will it be enough power? And do the fans come with a splitter to plug into the fan header
and the RGB header?
