As the title says, It is now time for me to get some christmas feeling and buying myself some RGB Halos for my PC.

My motherboard DOES NOT support RGB headers however.

Can I connect the Halos to my RGB strip, and then connect the RGB strip to the case RGB controller? Would that work?

Case: Phanteks P400S

 

-Thanks for any help!

Yes you should be able to as it's regular 4 pin RGB controllers however you may want to take note how many you run off that controller as you do not want to overload it.

I will only connect one halo, and it total there will be one rgb strip and one halo frame connected to my case!

As long as the LED strip has a connector at the end for daisy chaining or you can get an additional splitter it should work as long as it’s running a 4 pin RGB connector.

Yes, the RGB strip is connected (4 pin) to my chassi. And there's another wire coming from the RGB strip that is also 4 pin. I'm assuming this is for daisy chaining. I ordered the phanteks halos that is also 4 pin.
