[SOLVED] Do I need RGB controller hub?

[ajayphoenix]

I am building a new desktop PC. I bought a case with no fans. So I am buying 6 thermaltake rgb fans, thermaltake aircooler with rgb fan and the case have an rgb lighting too. Do I need a RGB controller to synchronize all lighting.

Motherboard : MSI MPG B550 Gaming Plus(have mystic lighting option)
RAM : G.Skill Trident RGB
Case : Deepcool MATREXX 55 V3 ADD-RGB Middle Tower Computer Case

If yes I am thinking of buying phanteks rgb controller ( http://www.phanteks.com/PH-CTHUB_DRGB.html )

What do you think?

That motherboard has only one RGB connector.
So....if you want the lighting setup to be easy to install and control, then go with the Phanteks RGB controller kit.

It have one rgb and 2 jrainbow connectors in it as shown in the manual

The "Rainbow" 3-pin headers are Addressable RGB (ARGB) connectors.
It looks like you're installing more than 8 lighting units and you only have two ARGB connectors and one RGB connector...so you need either splitters or a controller.
A controller has additional power (SATA) to run several units.
I suggest you make sure that all the lighting units are ARGB and compatible with MSI Mystic lighting.

If you want less cables on your case...then take a look at Lian Li RGB fans
