Excuse the nervous voice, I rarely make videos and I was just doing this off the top of my head lol. Hopefully this helps.

Yes those will work, however that is the wrong amount of ohms for what you are connecting. Your post says 2 argb fans, look in the github link in my post towards the beginning of this thread to make sure you use the right amount of ohms. I think it's 560 ohms. (not Kohms)

It could be as simple as this. The wiring should be basically the same. As long as 5v goes to 5v, D goes to D, and ground goes to ground, while adding the correct amount of resistance to the wire-s going back to the controller If that controller came with the cables that go from the controller itself (also pictured) to the nzxt led strips/fans/etc, you may have to use that to create a cord that connects to the fans. If you have some wire strippers, soldering iron, and some resistors, should be able to make it up in no time at all.

You're welcome! Glad this post could help another person. @thrasher_565 I just double checked to make sure, and yeah, @amd_beast809 is correct. Don't forget to check how much resistance you need before wiring things up.

Alright, finally got around to doing this project, and I'm glad to say that it's successful! Here is a diagram of the wire connections I made. The colors and orientation may be different for other brands of led strips, just gotta make sure they match up. I used 2.5k ohms of resistance since I need all 40 leds to be available. This actually shows up as 4 strips in CAM, and each strip has 10 leds on it. Hopefully this can help someone out in the future. If anybody is curious, the other attached picture is where some of the led strips are. Some will be in the computer soon, but these are the actual reason for the use of CAM and addressable leds. My computer area is basically surrounded by anime merch, and I've been 3d printing display cases for the figures. I figured it would be nice to be able to choose colors for the lighting in them.

Bit of an update..... I've found a bit of information on this topic by searching through some posts on random forums about the Hue+. Apparently the led strips themselves are the same with the pin layout. https://gist.github.com/jonasmalacofilho/262f382ccca8f414da64d161b9bc081f This is probably the most helpful link I could find, and it contains a ton of information about how much resistance is needed for certain types of devices (fans, strips, etc) I tested my addressable leds with the hue already, but couldn't get them to work, so I'm assuming they NEED a resistor in order for the Hue2 hub to recognize them. I've ordered a pack of resistors and will solder some in when I get the chance, and I'll post back again if I can or can't get it to work. Wish me luck lol

Long story short, I broke an addressable header on my motherboard (no need to go into details, but it's my own stupid fault lol), but still need to power some addressable leds. Keeping in mind that not all of these leds are in the case, are WS2812B strips, and I can't change them to NZXT led strips. I ordered the NZXT Hue 2 the other day, and am now realizing that it is 4 pin and not 3 pin. I can't return it yet since it's still on the way here, but I'd like to figure out if I can use it before returning it. I like how the cam software works with the individually addressable leds, and since I alread need to use cam for a fan controller, it would be great to use it for both fans and leds. I've found very little information on how the 4pin 5V led strips work. Looks like the layout is: Wire S (sometimes labeled as FD), Ground, D out/in, 5V. The layout for normal 5V addressable led strips is: Ground, D out/in, 5V I'd like to be able to connect these two, and I was reading on this reddit link that they can be connected with a little soldering, and a resistor from the extra "Wire S" to ground. I'd love to just find an adapter, but there doesn't seem to be one. I also can't find any other posts about using non nzxt adressable leds with the nzxt hub. It's very tough to find more info since typing in anything to do with 4 pin leds automatically comes up with non addressable 4 pin 12V leds lol. Has anybody attempted this before or has more info for me before I start cutting wires or return the hub?
