Hello
I have 17 aRGB (5v) devices I want to connect to my new build. Mix of fans, strips (four phanteks neon which has a LOT of leds), and other lighting elements like Strimer, a gpu support bracket, psu, etc. Yes, I know, it's excessive, but this is an indulgence build and I want it to throw laser rainbows into the night sky, no judgement please.
The problem is that my motherboard only has two 5v argb headers (JRAINBOW on msi). I've tried a series of splitters, but eventually each argb header runs out of addresses (only 75 supported) and everything on the latter half of the chain remains dark.
Does anyone know of any third-party RGB controllers that I could either daisy-chain or install multiples of in order to connect all seventeen of my aRGB devices and sync them all from one interface? How do I drive power to all these devices? Surely there's not enough on those little 5v mobo headers.
Someone recommended that I try the thermaltake tt sync controller, but that uses proprietary thermaltake connections that I don't know how to convert to my 4-pin (with 3rd pin blocked) argb.
Any ideas?
