What fans did you buy?

Do the fans support Gigabyte RGB Fusion?

 

The ADD_Header is exclusive to ASUS motherboards (e.g ASUS Addressable RGB Header).

Gigabyte, and MSi have their own Addressable RGB headers.

That is NOT a RGB header.

That is the SPDIF optical audio header.

 

Item #10 outlined in the manual.
