Hey guys, so I'm helping a friend do a build and he's very keen on the rgb aesthetics to put it lightly. So all of the components aside from storage, wires and psu will be compatible with the Asus Aura Sync feature. Cause he doesnt want to use multiple programs to adjust the RGB effects. The current build we came up with is this:
CPU: Intel Core i7 7700k
CPU Cooler: DeepCool Captain 240 EX RGB
RAM: GSkill TridentZ RGB 2x8GB
MOBO: Asus ROG Strix Z270F Gaming
GPU: Asus ROG Strix 1080
Case: Phanteks Eclipse P400 TG Black
So I'm hoping the community can help me out with this one. Is there a RGB controller that I can plug everything into and then plug it into the rgb header on the motherboard?
Cause the last time I built using this case, I used the RGB adapter from Phanteks to connect the Eclipse P400 case to the motherboard, but could only sync the case light and led strip, excluding the power button, by plugging out the connections from the front io and plugging into the 2 ends of the y split rgb adapter. I'm not exactly sure where to plug in the adapter to have the entire case sync up. I know it's possible cause there are plenty of vids on youtube that show all the lights in sync but none show how to actually do it. ._.
But for this build, now the CPU cooler will come with another led strip and a splitter that has to connect to an rgb header on the motherboard and, correct me if I'm wrong but, doesnt the motherboard only have 1 rgb header?
Some help from people that have built an rgb system like this is much appreciated. Thanks!
EDIT: It's alright guys I've solved this one already on my own. All I needed was an RGB LED splitter and it was all good. Build looks great now.
