[SOLVED] Motherboard and case have different RGB headers

[typecekjasa]

So, i purchased a ASUS TUF B450-PLUS GAMING motherboard and a Fortron CMT340 case. You can control the RGB effects via a button on the case, but the case is advertised as AURA sync-compatible. When i wanted to plug in the RGB, i discovered that my motherboard and case have different RGB headers than my MB, so i can´t plug the case RGB controller into the motherboard. (the third image is the fan+rgb case controller).


Is there any way i can connect the RGB sync to the motherboard? Am i missing some header on the motherboard? Will i have to purchase a reduction? Will i have to eat <Mod Edit>?

The case has A(addressable)RGB 5v system while your MB has ordinary 12v RGB. They are not compatible at all.

Mike is correct. A lot of budget motherboards don't include a 5V RGB header, including this one.

ok, can i purchase something (new fan hub/some adapter/something) to be able to use it?
