Question Is the Deep Cool FC120 ARGB compatible with AsusZ790-F motherboard ?

[Steelers7889]

I recently purchased an Asus Z790-F ATX motherboard. I purchased the Deepcool FC120 ARGB fans for cooling. The motherboard has an RGB header but not an ARGB header. Is there an adapter to connect the 2, or is it just not compatible? Thanks in advance.

^ page 1-2, your board has 3 ARGB headers, they are labelled 11.

See p. 1-14 about the 3-pin ADD GEN2_n headers for your ARGB lights. There MAY be a little "trick" you need. These three ARGB headers are designed to work with the newest version of ARGB called Gen2, and may be set by default to that way of doing things. But that can NOT work with the simpler original ARGB lights I expect are in your fans. HOWEVER, all such Gen2 headers also offer the option to be set to operate in the original Mode, rather than the new Gen2 Mode. This setting normally can be found in the ASUS Aura SYNC software tool provided with your board to set up lights.
