only 1 aura sync header

[Shyam Ganapathy]

I wanna buy some rgb fans to ascend but I only have 1 aura sync header. I also need a fan controller/hub. What can I do about this? I want the fans to be able to use the aura sync compatibility that they have, so not any like remotes or anything.

you need something like this

it doesnt use the aura sync connector, uses the usb 2.0 header and then the software detects it.

Is your motherboard aura sync compatible?

Yeah, as I said I have an aura sync header, but only one.

Is that the same thing? And is that 3 rgb fans with the controller? Also how will my aura sync detect it? Just automatically or do I have to download more software.

If fans and board are aura sync compatible I think you can control them from the on board fan headers...

I would do that but I only have 2 fan headers. I just want to know if I plug those fans into the controller that comes with it, will it work with aura sync?

the controller that comes with it is only an rgb controller, you would have to get a separate controller

Oh, so I still need a fan controller to plug the fans into but I can control the lighting with the controller that comes with it?

something like that. 

Would a fan splitter work since I already have one of those.

probably yeah. fans might run slower though if you had 3 off the same splitter
