Hello LTTF! I was wondering if anybody here knew of any promo/discount codes or vouchers for Aquatuning US. I received the Halloween discount newsletter, but I missed the deadline by literally one day (good thing too, since I realized that I had to make some serious modifications to my components list). But now I'm coupon-less and really want to buy my stuff before Black Friday, even though I imagine that they are going to have a sale very similar to that of Halloween (Flat 5% off whole site, or 10% off Alphacool stuff, etc). Thing is, I live in Costa Rica, so just shipping alone is $100 for just $300 worth of equipment. I read in their site that you get a 5% off coupon for your first purchase if you sign-up for the email newsletter. But I signed up for that just over 2 weeks ago and never received any code. I have reached out to Aquatuning suppor, but since they are based in Germany, they take pretty much 24 hours to get back to me, and after my initial contact, I didn't have any luck regarding any currently available discount codes (although I then asked about my missing 5% off code, but that was today afternoon, so they haven't gotten back to me yet, I'll be checking my email tomorrow for a response). Well, untill then I'm a disgruntled camper, hope somebody out there can help me (cause Google sure as hell didn't xD). Cheers, - Scott

Thanks for the quick reply! So just to be sure, if I plug the A-RGB devices to the Mobo via a splitter, I'll be able to change the color, but not do it addressable-y? Would it just act as a standard RGB light strip, or could it be that it would act as one A-RGB strip, and whatever effect I apply to the A-RGB header, will be repeated to all LEDs on the devices on the splitter? Or could it be that the splitter by default has a particular order, where it just goes fr one split, to the other in terms of data flow from the A-RGB LEDs. Sorry if I'm sounding confusing, but I'm just confused of what's happening to the return data on such a splitter, and if they even work as A-RGB.

Hello LTT Forum, First post here, hope you guys can welcome me to your community! I'm planning out the parts for my new build, my first build (for myself, second in total, made one a few years back for a cousin). I want to dive head in into customization, and I want to add 3 A-RGB fans, an A-RGB water block, and an A-RGB pump/res combo. The 3 fans are 2 from SilverStone and 1 from CoolerMaster, the pump/res combo, as well as the CPU block are from Alphacool. My motherboard is going to be either the Gigabyte Arorus b450i, or b550i (perhaps an x570i if I happen to find a used one at a good price). All 3 of these boards come with a single A-RGB header (at least the b boards do, not sure if the x has two, but I doubt it). What I want to know, is how can I best, and most affordably, connect those 5 A-RGB devices to my mobo's header? Can I just buy a 5 way splitter (plus any necessary adapters in terms of compatibility, which I think I don't need), and just hook them up to with with Gigabyte's RGB Fusion Software? Can the software an Mobo header differentiate between the 5 different devices, or would it just register as a single A-RGB strip of x length? I consider myself to be quite savvy in terms of computer expertise, but even if I know a bit about the current state of A-RGB/RGB devices, I just haven't had the experience, either directly or with a video, of how to make everything work together seamlessly; all while having just a single A-RGB header, as well as a limited amount of LEDs per header. Can you guys please tell my what I should do? Should I just bite the bullet and buy an A-RGB controlled, and let the PC handle them through their approximate software, or should I just go YOLO and install all daisy with the 5-way splitter strait into the mob. Thanks from a curious/anxious nerd -Scott
