well the title says it all can you use a
RGB controller with another company's products but il be more specific I'm currently buying an ml240r from cooler master and a p350x from phanteks. I only have some ARGB header on my motherboard and the ml240r comes with an RGB controller could I use that RGB controller for the p350x or is it limited to cooler master products only?
 
The controller on the 240 version has one header from the splitter left unpopulated, you can connect an ARGB led strip to that last connector. You might want to list your specs like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:

For good measure. Include all your RGB components as well.
 
CPU: i5 9600k
Motherboard: msi pro carbon z370 ac
Ram: 16g g.skill 3000mhz cl16
SSD/HDD: intel 660p 512g 2x 2tb barracuda 7200rpm hdd
GPU: radeon 7
PSU: corsair rm850x
Chassis: phanteks p350x
OS: windows 10 home
CPU Cooler: cooler master masterliquid ml240r RGB
I have had experience in building computers in the past but have decided to get into RGB for the first time and am wondering if on companies RGB controller would be compatible with another companies product
