Hey guys, I currently finished building my new computer, however I am in a bit of a conundrum. I have the Asus ROG Maximus XI Code motherboard that has 2 3-pin addressable RGB headers however I have 3 addressable RGB products that I want to plug in.

Currently connected into my 2 headers are;
A-RGB Header 1: Phanteks Evolv X case lighting
A-RGB Header 2: Thermaltake TT Sync Controller with 5 Thermaltake Riing Plus fans connected to the controller.

My third A-RGB product is the Asus ROG Thor 1200P.

My research suggests that you can't plug in a 3-pin A-RGB cable into the regular 4-pin RGB header since it will blow it up. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zu9mikz9zpQ

Also, most of the splitters I've found only work for A-RGB identical fans. Such as the Cooler Master A-RGB splitter, http://www.coolermaster.com/cooling/...plitter-cable/


So is there a way to split an A-RGB header into two with two differing products? Also, how will controlling each LED work if say 1 product has 10 controllable LEDS and another has 5 controllable LEDS?

Or is there another way for me to do this?

Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the forums!

 

For addressable RGB lights you can use splitters like the coolermaster one but it will make it so the lights are group controlled and not individual. If you want individual LED control you want to daisy chain the lights barring the maximum amperage of the 3 pin header.

Alright sweet, thanks for the help. I'll give the coolermaster splitter a try!
