Cooler Master aRGB/RGB Controller Review

[@KosherTech]

🔴Check out the Masterplus+ software review as well kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGi2gJaljpmhgJY

[@echeese63]

I have that cooler master controller, it uses the cooler master MasterPlus software, and can work with motherboards without rgb headers.

[@GilangRamadhan-yi9br]

interesting.

[@KosherTech]

Hey u most likely have the Cooler Master RGB Fan Controller it's different from the one which I've reviewed

[@litOdeMenezes]

@@KosherTech no i have the same controller that tou reviewed and it can be controlled by the MasterPlus software for CoolerMaster divices, you need to go and check it.

[@hanmaruf2919]

@@KosherTech yes differend type... can bought separately or bundle with new cm aio illusion

[@KosherTech]

Gotcha I appreciate it. If ur correct I will make a separate review going over the chroma software as well as the cooler master. I couldn't find anywhere where it said that this controller works with their software.

[@rounakr94]

I am using this controller with MasterPlus v1.74 software and its working with software. So imo its better than Razer and iCue

[@ElectRocnicOfficial]

It is a plus for me that it has no dedicated software, because that means that it should work with any custom software of my joice. In contrast to the ASRock motherboard ARGB headers which do not work with e.g. SignalRGB, and that is the reason I needed to buy this extra controller even though 3 ARGB headers would already exist on my stupid motherboard... (The ASRock software is trash)

[@crabbynebula]

Same for gigabyte RGB fusion software

[@SoloZz00]

Can this be controlled via software after connecting thru usb ? Like razer chroma argb.

[@ElectRocnicOfficial]

@@SoloZz00 it should. I used mine with SignalRGB. However, note that I didnt know how cheap this controller is made before I bought it. Those pins do not hold really well (the cables easily slip off the pins). I used glue to keep them together o.O Also there is no way to mount the controller somewhere in your PC Case. I just put it freely in between the power chords in my case and used some binding gear to hold it together and somewhat stable. Really cheap and weak design. Got it working tho. Also I have to turn off the PSU power completely before restarting my computer or else two to three fans will not light up correctly. That might be a problem with my motherboard tho.

[@askaliu2943]

So does this actually connect and controlled via the usb2 port? Or is that only to update firmware? Coz I read mixed review and could never find a clear answer.

[@hanmaruf2919]

that's old ver...the new ver is Addressable Gen 2 RGB LED Controller ... can real customizer ARGB with MasterPlus+ software using USB similar with corsair node pro

[@KosherTech]

I'll test it out if I'm wrong I'll make a separate review

[@janganlogout7500]

i bought this cooler argb controller so i can individually control all my fans argb😄

[@elwynevans9825]

Cooler master, "master +" is the software they have. Was that released after you made the video?

[@aravindraja8034]

Can you please do a review on CoolerMaster ARGB Controller vs CoolerMaster ARGB Controller A1 and let me know if both will worth other branded AIOs and fans and allow Individual LED control and Brightness control Note: Found that the old CoolerMaster ARGB Controller allows other branded AIO and fans to control lighting but no idea about individual LED and brightness Found the new CoolerMaster ARGB Controller A1 allows control of individual devices even if they are daisy chained but not sure if it will work with other brands

[@Galax2000]

if you want more effects jsut install signal rgb

[@ericwanner7966]

I want that hub thing you used to bench test these things. How did you do that and where can I get the necessary gadgets???

[@CraigLillie]

At least the Cooler Master one can be used manually without having Windows installed, the Razer one won't. Believe it or not, not everyone uses Microsoft & having built in ARGB controls is handy for us Linux users, so if I was gonna get one of the two, Cooler Master would win.

[@samsunghandy]

Try OpenRGB for linux

[@dj858]

not to mention the cooler master is cheaper for basically the same functionality, and it dose not matter what rgb header you have i.e. 3 pin 5v argb or 4 pin 12v, again if you neither its still more functional than the razor chroma as im not certain but im sure the chroma exclusively uses 3 pin 5v argb header, and it needs the razor chroma software more junk taking up space on drive just for some pretty colours

[@AtariBorn]

@@dj858 Agreed. I don't see how using existing motherboard software is a complaint with the review. I would much rather NOT deal with another program, deal with its issues and wait for updates and fixes.

[@migueee_23]

Hello friend, do you know if with this device I could control the argb of my fans with my 4-pin motherboard?

[@downundergarage6968]

60 are you sure? This thing is on Australian Amazon site for around $13 USD. In fact I just picked one up for 18 aud Inc free shipping from prime.

[@GameVegan]

Hey where's the stats for Nerds? I'm buying this as I have 6 x MF120 Halo Fans (120 LED's per fan) and my MOBO aRGB header only supports 5 x aRGB Fans... I wanted to know can I daisy chain per port?! Thanks :)

[@LandonAaronp]

What is the USB connection for if it doesn't have any software?

[@Vallenatoal100porciento]

Hello, I want to buy a speaker and I would like to see a vs between MIATONE XBOX VS WKING X10 🙏🏻 I have those two options.

[@deeper1993]

Hi, I had an urgent question. I bought one of these but the controller is not working properly and the lights keep changing by themselves. Can I plug the 5v 3pin from the EZDIY controller into a Cooler Master controller to connect it with my motherboard via a USB since my motherboard doesn't have a 5V 3pin header. Basically I will be powering two controllers using two SATA connectors since both the controllers are connected in series. So the setup is like this 7 ARGB FANs (6 pin connector)-> EZDIY(5V 3 pin connector) -> Cooler Master controller -> USB motherboard. Will this work?

[@marsupilami944]

can you try openrgb software and tell me if u can control your leds that connected to controller? also if you can connect custom ws2812b led strips?

[@MrSiLenTb88]

$60 on Amazon? Here in Australia it's like $39 aud, which is like $25 usd I think

[@KosherTech]

Youngins, i will test this hub via the MasterPlus software & if it works i'll make a separate vid reviewing the software.

[@Deadliestz]

wait how do I connect it to the controller when my ARGB connector doesn't have pins? its a splitter from cooler master

[@AceVenturaXii]

Should someone use this over a controller that comes with a pack of fans?

[@MrMetalpunx]

I haven't even plugged it in, but let me tell you what to do? This is not kosher

[@peegion4742]

What does the micro usb even do? Does it control rgb?

[@4thLevi]

Can you review the Aigo CX6? I’ve been eyeing that one for my build

[@KosherTech]

Send a link plz

[@PinkyTech]

I'm looking for one with software because Mystic lights is "no bueno".

[@KosherTech]

U damn right lol

[@walterfrickejr9384]

What's your thoughts on the "asiahorse" fans? Particularly the the 240mm and 360mm matrix ones? Would they be a decent option to put on AIOs?

[@KosherTech]

Won't go if one fails the entire unit is done

hi i would like to ask where i put the controller? do i leave it outside or put it in the back

So my mother board only has rgb. Can I control my argb with this?

I have a ARGB fan but my motherboard is the H310M S2P please help me. Only got a single fan, would this work for it? If not what adapter do I need to buy. Tysm

could this allow me to use icue without an rgb or argb header? instead could i use the usb header?

[@tequilaghoul]

i just want my fans to be white on future build. I refuse to download asus armory just for that or any software. if this lets me do that with just the controller, I'm buying it.

[@dompit9535]

wtf is that reset button, so you lose case reset button and transform it to a lighting switch? lol

[@dkgemers9639]

how many effect mode in software cm masterplus with this device(argb controller) ?

[@sbrensbeve2388]

can you plug in 6 fans at once or is it limited to 4?

[@johnparker9770]

I have 6 CM halo (24 LEDs Each) case fans, 2 Sickle Flow ARGB (8 LEDS each) cpu cooler fans, the CM elv8 (24 LEDs) and one 36 argb LED strip plugged into mine. CM fans can daisy chain together or get an ARGM splitter cable to add more. My rig has a total of 220 LEDs running off this controller, the only thing you want to do it keep it under 80 LED's per port on the controller due to voltage and amps. I have it set up with 3 halo fans on 2 of the ports. The elv 8 on a port by itself and the ARGB strip and my cpu fans on another. Creates a circular pattern around the case in certain configs.

@@marsupilami944 as long as all the leds are gen 2 you should be fine. All mime are gen 2 and I used cm 5 to one splitters since they are made for this kind of application.

So there is software. Wow what a terrible misinformed review.

[@_Medeiros7]

Hey brother, I saw that cooler master has an RGB and ARGB control software called Masterplus. Can you tell me if it is possible to control only by software with the fans connected to the motherboard or is a controller necessary?

[@Toxsyy]

You need more views for these fan reviews ngl

[@KosherTech]

Appreciate it

[@rjansandland4256]

"Six fans"? Learn the product before you review maybe? "Too many cables"..... horrible review, thumbs down

[@BigDavos]

First 💪🏾

[@marcingosiewski1779]

Poor review. He does not mention that: * there is no documentation that would make sense. You buy it and you are on your own. There is more information on marketing website than you get from the manual. the booklet is useless and hopeless, * the connection to motherboard to control from motherboard in sync with motherboard /ram lights does not work. At least for me. I have connected to addressable rgb socket on motherboard and I cannot make it control lights from motherboard software in any mode. There is a cable with 'GIGABYTE' and 'ASUS' stickers but completely no information on where to connect it to the motherboeard. On GIGABYTE board I have the 'ASUS' type header. Makes no sense. * there is a very limmited set of effects, and not even a soft 'saturated color cycle' . Only one single effect makes sense for me - this is a gentle color cycle through white. Other are quite flashy, can be used for 5 minutes after you buy it and you are done. * there is even NO SINGLE COLOR mode except for pure blue. * there is a FAN connector for a mode where the color is in sync with fan speed. I did NOT make it work either! This should be unboxing rather than review.

hey dude i hope you answer can you try openrgb software and tell me if u can control your leds that connected to controller?
