Installing a LED-Strip in PC

[lknagg]

Hello there,

I recently purchased an "Akasa Vegas MBA - Addressable RGB LED Strip Light", and upon further inspection, I can't seem to connect it to my motherboard. I've looked and didn't find any 3 pins or 4 pins on my motherboard that I can use.

My motherboard: ROG Strix, Z270-F Gaming
Link to the strip: http://www.akasa.com.tw/update.php?tpl=product/product.detail.tpl&no=181&type=Gaming&type_sub=RGB%20LED%20Lighting&model=AK-LD07-60RB

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
LKnagg.

Check the manual page 1-19, you should see there two 4-pin rgb headers. https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/ROG-STRIX-Z270F-GAMING/HelpDesk_Manual/

Hi,

neither of the connectors that followed the strip work to plug into those headers. The RGB headers on my motherboard are 4 pins, but if you see the image here, https://gyazo.com/befc41d81b02f77c976ffff37595c41c, you can see that it doesn't work since both of the adapters are for 3 pins. None of the two adapters fit.

on that picture...thats adressable plug, thats for adressable rgb
your mobo doesnt have adressable rgb header, so u can skip on this feature
strix z370f - gaming has it

Under the features tab, you can see they (Akasa) said the adapter cable included ( in the 3rd picture).

In other hand, when you check the specifications tab: the MB Compatibility List, and you will see your MB, ROG Strix, Z270-F Gaming, is not in the list. So if you can't work it out, return it. Sorry.
