Good Morning/Day/Evening,

I bought a GPU brace/holder to help my ROG Strix GPU from sagging. It is the Cooler Master ELV8 https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/coolers/rgb-accessories/elv8/ and it works great as a brace but I don't know if there is a way to plug in the RGB connector with my MOBO. I have the ASUS Z390-A Prime MOBO that only has 4 pin/12V RGB connectors and the Cooler Master GPU brace has a 3 pin 5v cord.

I'm asking to see if there is some way I can get this to light up, whether it be with an adapter or something else.

Addressable 5v RGB headers are found on the better, more expensive motherboard models. A quick look at the Specifications - Internal I/O Ports will tell you what features the motherboard has.

For example,
MAXIMUS XI HERO
2 x Aura Addressable Strip Header(s)
2 x Aura RGB Strip Headers

Z390-A Prime
2 x Aura RGB Strip Headers
