Hello i am planning on buying this case (Cooler Master H500M) https://www.amazon.ca/Cooler-Master...f=sr_1_1?keywords=h500m&qid=1569140440&sr=8-1

It has 2x 200mm fans that require a Addressable RGB header to utilize them to their full potential.
I was planning on buying this motherboard (MSI MPG Z390 Gaming Plus) https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07HMG1XP7/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&psc=1
I can't seem to find out if it has one, i'm leaning more on No the more i research it. Can anyone recommend a motherboard around that same price bracket. I'm going for a red colour scheme, so a board that is either black or red would be perfect, thanks for any help guys!
 
Hi, no it does not have ARGB headers. It does have 2 standard 4pin RGB headers. I think the Cooler Master 200mm ARBG fans come with a controller though. Check for motherboards with a ARGB or digital addressable RGB header.

You are going to need something in $128 price range for the Digital RGB fan header.

PS what CPU are you using for the Z390, if it is a 9700K or 9900K then I would suggesting a little more for a Z390 motherboard with a better VRM power delivery setup....if not or you are not overclocking then the ASRock will be fine. I would avoid the MSI Z390 Gaming Plus...
