Question Which fans to buy?

[thard]

Hi, have AKASA SOHO 360 Dusk Edition for CPU (front side of case).

At the back side I have corsair fan.

Want to buy:
- 2-3x ARGB fans on the top of fans
- 1x ARGB fan replacement for corsair fan on the back side

Which fans can I buy? And how to connect for RGB sync via Aura Sync?
I wanted to buy 3x MasterFan MF120 Halo but I found fans are 4-pin. I think My Akasa has 3-pin cables.

If it's necessary, I will buy whole new cooling system. So water cooling for CPU, fans in case etc and don't need to use Aura Sync (maybe there is better system for that).

for example this?
Corsair iCUE H100x RGB ELITE
+
Corsair iCUE AF120 RGB ELITE Triple Pack Black + Lightning Node Core Black
just don't know if I need to buy some "controller or switch.."

Thank you so much.
PC specs are in signature.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

I wanted to buy 3x MasterFan MF120 Halo but I found fans are 4-pin. I think My Akasa has 3-pin cables.
4pin conenctors for the lighting are RGB, 3pin connectors for the lighting are ARGB, they are not one and the same, they go on different headers/connectors on a hub/motherboard.

Since sig space specs can and will change over time, please state the make and model of your motherboard and chassis.

Why don't you look into this;

SOHO AR Kit | Premium 120mm Cooling Fans with Addressable RGB and Splitter Cables Kit | Akasa Thermal Solution

Akasa branded products including cables, cases, card readers, coolers, external enclosures, fans in many colours, hubs, and power supplies |SOHO AR Kit | Premium 120mm Cooling Fans with Addressable RGB and Splitter Cables Kit |

You might want to look into an ARGB hub to hook all your ARGB devices to, if your motherboard has one ARGB header on it.

hello @Lutfij , sorry for that. Didn't see soho ar kit. I looked into MB manual:

3 x Addressable Gen 2 headers
1 x AURA RGB header

So I think, I don't need to buy ARGB hub.
Am I right?

Hello,
today I bought SOHO AR Kit. Seems it works almost fine. RGB sync works fine, fans speed control works fine.
Just one problem is I don't see RPM in bios and in Armoury Crate by ASUS.

Followed a guide. Have fans connected to CHA1 in ASUS PRIME Z690-P.

Any idea what did I wrong please?
