RGB controllers

[butters9m]

I was wondering what the compatibility of rgb strips are, i want to buy a corsair lighting node and my case has non corsair rgb strips installed, do i have to buy and reinstall new strips, or can i just plug them into the corsair controller?

Probably. The Corsair lighting node uses addressable rgb strips that are custom made so they can chain them together; they add a data out.

So could i use non corsair rgb strips?

Ok, I take it back. I just looked at their lighting node. It looks like they have a new design that only uses 3 pins. So, you might be able to.

it has all 3 pins in a row like a fan connector, its not compatable with 5v ARGB or 12V GRB

If you get 3 pin addressable LED's it's possible as long as you know how to wire them correctly, note the power draw of the LED's as the controller can only handle so much.

WS2912B standard is the most common addressable rgb strips around and they're 3 pins; 5 volt, data, ground. 12v grb is analog and I'm not talking about that type.
