Question What’s a m/b Addressable RGB header

[rjcard32315]

I see this a lot on fan hubs such as rose wills where a 3 pin connector goes to hub and the end goes on a m/b addressable header on the motherboard I’m assuming. Problem is my motherboard only has two rgb headers and both of them are 4 pin or circles (gigabyte x370 gaming 3) and the connector that is labeled for gigabyte motherboards looks like a 3 pin , but uses pins instead of the circles like in my wraith rgb cooler am I supposed to put this connector on one of the sys fans headers?

Read page 19 in your MB manual for info and pictures of your RGB headers.
There are 2 and neither is Addressable, so 3 pin Addressable RGB devices will Not work with those headers.

Addressable LED headers are 5 volts. You have two 12 volt LED headers.

Non-addressable RGBs, the whole strip/array of RGB LEDs displays one colour at any time. This colour can transition, shift, breath/pulse, etc, across the entire RGB LED colour spectrum - and RGB Fusion provides a variety of snazzy themes/effects - but every RGB LED is always exactly the same colour as all its neighbours at any given instant, the whole strip is "all or nothing".

Addressable RGBs, each RGB LED (or segment/block of RGB LEDs) can display a different colour and intensity than its neighbours. Some could be lit in one colour or lit in another or more intense or less intense while others are simultaneously displaying something else. Everything that non-addressable RGB does but more fancy animation/striping/chasing effects are possible. Higher cost and complexity. Found on more expensive high-end motherboard models.

Oh alright thanks for the break down.
