  1. Non addressable RGB and addressable RGB signals are not compatible.
  2. Then how is he going to plug addressable accessories into a non addressable RGB plug or vice versa regardless of power requirements?
  3. Do you have standard RGB accessories or addressable RGB accessories?
  4. I'll head back to the older i3-2100 system. Windows 7 just is not able to run reliably on this Ryzen system.
  5. It does from 2 Chromium based browsers. I'll try in Edge in a bit. If you mean DispayPort, the TV does not have it. This is HDMI2.0 on both ends. 4k/60 should be no problem for HDMI 2.0
  6. If you have a Microcenter nearby the AMD Ryzen 5 1600 for $79.99 is hard to beat for bang for the buck, and you could hit your price target. Couple it with a B450 motherboard and 32G of RAM.
  7. Need some help/advice. I have a media PC tuning my cable TV through a cablecard and Windows Media Center, thus requiring I stay with Windows 7. Media PC specs: i3-2100, H61M-P23 mobo, 4G DDR3 RAM, Radeon HD5450 GPU. Resolution 1080p/60 The media PC has served me well for 8 years. I do NOT game on the machine, it is strictly for media playback through WMC, Youtube, and Kodi. A few months ago, I upgraded my TV to 4k and the HD5450 does not have HDMI 2.0 to allow the desktop to run at 4k/60. Cards that are small enough to fit and don't require an extra power connection that do 4k are fewer and further between, but I settled on a GTX1050ti. Media PC specs (upgrade 1): i3-2100, H61M-P23, mobo 4G DDR3 RAM, GTX1050ti. Resolution 4k/60 This allowed 4k playback BUT... I was noticing stutter...a good bit of it. This was especially true when watching Youtube videos (the videos needed not be 4k videos) Even 1080i playback of my cable channels from Windows Media Center were a bit choppy. So i thought perhaps the venerable i3-2100 was just too slow for 4k playback, even if the source material was not 4k. So I bit the bullet and upgraded to a new mobo and CPU. Latest Media PC: Ryzen 1600, Gigabyte B450M DS3, 8G DDR4 RAM. GTX1050ti., Resolution 4k/60, Loading Windows 7 on a Ryzen is a lot of fun, but a slipstream USB install media later and it is back up and running. However the video is tearing terribly. Not gaming mind you...watching video on Youtube, watching live video from the cablecard, even scrolling of websites, the screen tears. I've done a from scratch install twice now, so its not the initial messing around I did to make Windows 7 load. I went to the Nvidia control panel and turned on Vsync which did not help. 1. Any ideas what could be causing such screen tearing? Any fixes? 2. Absent that, should the upgrade 1 level been able to handle playing video in 4k without stuttering?
  8. I made an adapter for it. Using the link given above for one end: https://www.adafruit.com/product/4046 and these for the other. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074CRQ4YQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I have 9 sets left over of you want to pay shipping! The pinout you have to match on each end is 5V, Signal, GND
  9. I have contacted the case manufacturer. They don't. Any idea where to source the 4 pin connector?
  10. My case comes with a 5V ARGB LED strip built in. It has a small 3 pin connector on the end. This connector is seen here: I need to connect it to my 5V ARGB controller. It is a Darkflash DR12 that has standard mobo 5V ARGB connectors for it's RGB strips. This connector is seen here: Note. It is the 5V RGB Header (3-Pin) style connector. I'd rather not cut the old connector off and splice in a motherboard connector. Does anyone know where to find an connector to mate the two?
  11. So it is! Unfortunately that is not the connector the Aigo DC12's are shipping with on their controllers these days. I'm curious, why would it being molex powered prevent daisy chaining? Thanks for the quick reply.
  12. Sorry for the thread necro. In the Aigo DR12 you state correctly in the text, "It can also accommodate RGB LED strips with 4-pin ports which it has 4 off.", but then you incorrectly show 3 pin Phanteks RGB strips being connected. Does anyone know where to find 3 pin to 4 pin (technically still 3 pin as one is not used) adapters so that LED strips can be used with the Aigo DR12 adapter? Secondly, since the Aigo DR12 controller uses an ARGB 5V connector just like motherboard does, could multiple adapters be daisy chained using these 4 pin LED ports as outputs to the next downstream DR12 controller? Thanks in advance.
