[SOLVED] no rgb header

[froggy8]

hi guys

i have been looking at what the motherboard rgb can do and i really want that in my pc but my motherboard doesnt support rgb.

question is which product/s do i need to get to make my case do all those special lighting? i can only do 1 color at a time but want other kind of effect too.

man thanks

yes! i didnt know such thing would exist! really happy to find that out, i was expecting someone would say get the phantek starter kit or something like that but the card is way better.

so if i buy that then could i do everything you can do on an addressable motherboard?

it looks like it takes 2 3 pin 4 pin electricity from your motherboard fan headers and gives you like 4 rgb headers . i have not worked with rgb headers myself though .

they do . i have an asus z390 prime and it's like what you say. But this card / gives you 4 RGB headers to fullfill your needs.

i waas thinking about upgarding my motherboard due to the rgb header issue, this solves about 70 percent of my problems.

so all i need to do is slot that card in my pc just like any other gpu? then plug the 3 and 4 pin to power it up? all i nned to do is plug 4 of my halo fans in the 4 socket then download a rgb software and start the software?

sorry for the questions, all i have for rgb is from my case and it only does 1 colour at a time.

i have not worked with onboard RGB myself , all i realize is that they are probably for synching RGB colors .

but yes from what it looks like it draws RGB power from chassis fan headers on your motherboard.

is argb the newest one now? do you think there is a argb pcie?

i thought argb were the ones giving you a single color at time , not multiple colors like rgb . or maybe it's the other way around ? i'm not sure though , let me search for you .

rgb is 1 color at a time and im sure argb can do mixes.

also can i download any software to control the lighting?

this one looks like it is ARGB

well i don't think fans infront of your case can handle software , but i used to have this ThreadRipper motherboard , it had RGB options in the BIOS settings. if you connect them all you can pretty sure control the color sync from your motherboard , or maybe a windows 10 software like you said .

yes! even better, thank you.

my fans are non digital, what i need for argb is digital fans/halo.

cant believe i only found out about argb pcie today, been stuck with 1 colour at this time when it could be doing loads of effects such as breathing, fading etc.

 

[froggy8]

would my fans still work with certain light changes with this pcie?

i think it's called an "extension card" not an actual pci e . that was my mistake . but when i googled there seem to be actual pci e that insert into your pci e on your motherboard.

 

[froggy8]

i would have called it pcie too as it looks like one.

hi

could you check if this argb card needs to be plugged in to a 3 pin rgb header please?

 

[froggy8]

sorry but i thought i only needed to plug this to a normal 3 pin.

i need to find a way to add argb header to my pc somehow.

 

[bniknafs9]

hi

yes
i was mistaken
the input is from one spare 3 pin argb header on your motherboard and the power comes from a spare SATA connector from your PSU
hope that helps . the diagram is in the link itself.

the first one seems to have the same input :

1- 2 pin from sATA connector
2- 3 pin from an rgb (or argb?) header from your motherboard .

cheers
