Is it possible to control RGB fans from the ASUS Aura mobo header

RobertG216

Is it possible to control any make of RGB fan (the lighting only obviously - not power) from the RGB header of an ASUS Aura mobo. The Header outputs the relatively standard 12V,G,R,B format and can drive 5050 strips. The question is does any make of RGB fan run off that format (even if crossw wired). Particularly interested in Corsair, NZXT, Thermaltake. I'd hate to have to buy the controllers just to find out!

It wouldn't be something that would work together as the LED strips are 12V based, unless the fan's LED's also work under a 12V system and you made custom connectors for all of that it potentially may work.

That's the question. Does anybody know what input the fan LEDs use ?

That would be a good question, as of currently my best guess for the Thermal take Riing fans would be regular 3V as they use just two RGB based LED's using a light bar/ring around the fans but for the others only way to find out really would be to do some testing.
