Please help with non-RGB header controller info

[dissentience]

Hi everyone, hope you're well!

 

I'm looking to use 3 RGB fans in my system, and my motherboard does not have an RGB header. I'd prefer to control it with the software provided by Gigabyte, as I believe it has an audio responsive feature, and I'm trying to figure out the best and most economical way to go about it. I know I'll likely need a controller of some kind, but I'm unsure whether it's even possible to interface it with my motherboard, rather than a separate physical/smartphone app remote. The latter is fine if it's not possible to interface with my mobo.

 

I figured I'd either need a controller that I can connect the 3 fans too, or a fan splitter (the latter of which I know exists). I'm having trouble figuring out exactly what I need, so please help if you can.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

if you don't have an mb header then you need an usb controller that hooked up buy internal usb 2.0 mb header and you will have to use there software with it.

Are they 4-pin 12v RGB, 3-pin 5v Addressable RGB, or some weird bespoke connector like Corsair use? That will define what is best to control them with.

I haven't bought the fans yet, so really it's wide open

 

edit: Also my motherboard has two USB headers that look like the following, if anyone knows of a controller that will work with it, that would be great:

Will the USB header cable on this allow me to control the RGB via software?
