Question RGB Compatibility?

[JCWTom]

Hello
I'm looking for some clarification regarding RGB CPU Air Coolers

My motherboard is a Gigabyte Z270 Gaming K3

I'd like to install the Cooler Master Evo 212 RGB Black Edition

I know it fits but I'm struggling to find out if the RGB will work on its own or with a controller.

Any help would be really appreciated

Hi,

looking at the manual for that motherboard
(link: https://download.gigabyte.com/FileList/Manual/mb_manual_ga-z270-gaming-k3_e.pdf )

There isn't a built in RGB controller header on the motherboard, so you would need a separate RGB controller.

Could you point me in the right direction?

Looking at the coolermaster website- looks like that cooler includes an RGB controller in the box, so you should have everything you need.
