How universal are rgb controllers?

[Ja55ie]

So I just purchased an AZZA Inferno 310 case and it apparently has 2 extra headers on its controller board for additional rgb items. It currently comes with 2 rgb front fans. 

 

I am wondering how universal rgb is. I know that additional Azza Hurricane Lite RGB fans (which are also identical to the ones that come preinstalled in the case) work with the controller. 

 

Would I be able to plug in any rgb fan and it would work with the controller? 

Would CPU fans with rgb work as well if I plugged in the 4 pin connector to the case controller? 

 

I want to know before I purchase any more fans.

I think Cooler Master ARGB ones and Befenix Spectrum RGB ones follow open standard, but Corsair ones certainly dont.

"ARGB" (addressable RGB) is a standard.  It's a +5V, data and ground.

 

Aura, Corsair, Asrock, JRainbow, etc. are all different.

 

ARGB is pretty much "standard", but the case didn't come with ANY documentation?  The connector isn't labeled?  Seems weird.

The case manual just noted that the fans would connect to the attached controller. The controller seems to be the 4pin kind. So if I purchase a rgb accessory which uses 4pin and +5V connection, I should be fine?

Would you know of any cooler Master fans which would be compatible?

No.  Because most of them are four pin. 

 

Are any of the wire colored?  Are some pins populated while one is not?  Can you take a picture of the connector?

Hey Jonny thanks for the help. I actually Recieved the case today and was able to use 3 additional azza fans with the case and even control all the lighting.
