Wow, thank you so much! I had exactly that situation when i upgraded to a new Thermaltake Ceres 500 Case to make enough space for watercooling my GPU. My Asus Rog Strix B450-F Gaming Motherboard uses Aura Sync, but only has 2 4pin 12v Analog RGB headers. Great informative content, keep it up!

I just bought one myself. Keep in mind, that altough motherboard 12v headers ar GRB, some other RGB controllers, that are meant for RGB stripes, ar BRG. So you might also need to flip B and G cables also. Still a great piece of tech, so i dont have to throw way my old Farbwerk Controller.

They wont be independent colors as this is a fancy splitter.

Seems you are in the same boat I am because I also have a 3 pin that looks like a 4 pin but with a pin blocked out so I can’t plug into my MSI mobo 4 pins but I am assuming that once we are able to connect our 3 pin to the converter it should already turn the fans or led or whatever it is on since the converter will get the power you would’ve otherwise gotten from the mobo Edit: lol I commented without answer anyhow I believe it would work in your case though only with one Argb 3 pin since the product only has 1 i am going to buy this product see how it works

[@Al-nj6ww]

Can you expand a bit where you said if you wanted to have more than just a static color and take advantage of ARGB you'd have to buy a separate controller? What's the minimalist way to be able to use all of ARGB capabilities with only a RGB header?

[@techlessYT]

The minimalist way (or rather the only way) would be a separate ARGB controller. Unfortunately the standard RGB header (12V GRB) can only carry information for a single static color at once, so ARGB effects, that require more than one color at once, are simply not possible. So the only way to enjoy real ARGB without an appropriate header is to get a dedicated ARGB controller.

When I Put color cycle it doesnt follow the right collor speed cycle from other aRGB components (like my XPG D50 ram modules). Also it flahes abrutaly every ~3 seconds.

Connect it to the SATA power cable that comes out of the power supply. There usually are many SATA plugs often on a single cable. The SATA power plug is the same plug that powers HDDs and SDDs.

I am little bit puzzled, if my motherboard had a RGB header it wont work? for GRB only header only? Thanks!

[@techlessYT]

What we call RGB header usually is either a 12V GRB header or some kind of ARGB header. For the latter you of course won't need the Deepcool converter. The converter will expect a 12V GRB signal. You can check the printing on the mainboard next to the RGB headers to see what type they are and what pinout they have. You will find that in the mainboard's manual as well. Even if your mainboard has an uncommon pinout, like 12V RGB, there's usually an option to change that inside your RGB software. The setting is sometimes called "calibration". When doing a calibration the mainboard will show every of the three RGB colors once and you will have to select whether you're seeing e.g. red or green.

[@techlessYT]

You can connect two 12V GRB fans to the converter in addition to your ARGB hardware. I assume your ARGB hardware needs to connect to the same header? You may use a hub to power those 4 components at once, though you will have to try if the power output is sufficient for your specific components. It's always good practice to run as few components from a single header as possible.

two of my motherboards are Z77 which in the time of release i think grb doesn't even exist fully yet (correct me if i'm wrong). so, if my motherboard only has 4 pin header for cpu and 3 pin for other fans, i need this to control the existing argb fans today via software right?

[@techlessYT]

Actually I'm not aware of a single Z77 board that has any RGB headers at all, neither 5V ARGB nor 12V GRB. If that is true for your boards as well, there's no other way than getting a dedicated RGB controller that connects over (internal) USB. The headers you're mentioning are probably just fan headers (fan rotation, not light).

[@grnmindead]

@@techlessYT yeah you're absolutely right - there's no rgb headers for Z77 boards. i just thought maybe i could try connecting to a cpu fan header with the use of this deepcool device to control the argb fans via software. i guess that's just a dumb idea lol. thanks man, i appreaciate your response! 🍻

If I purchased one of these adapters, would only plugging in the 3 pin fan cable work still allow me to control the RGB? The other cable would become redundant?

You need to plug in both cables. The 3 pin fan cables connects to your mainboard to power the fan itself (rotation only, no light). The additional RGB cable goes into the converter and will only be responsible for RGB.
