Hello everyone!

 

I just bought a set of Phanteks NEON combo set after seeing it in action on a Youtube video a while back. Unfortunately, I didn't do enough research ahead of time and found out that the adapter it comes with is for 5v 3-pin RGB Header. My motherboard is a MSI MPG z390 Gaming Plus, and if I read it correctly, it has a 12v 4-pin RGB header. What products would you recommend that would me with my issue? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

You are going to have to get an argb controller. It has to be separate from the motherboard because a 3 pin will not connect to a 4 pin. I asked a similar question a little time back and that is what I was told. I recently got the EZDIY Fab ring fans (https://www.amazon.com/EZDIY-FAB-5-Pack-120mm-Addressable-Motherboard/dp/B07N2DQCY2/ref=sr_1_3?crid=92DTAONBWVN2&keywords=ezdiy+rgb+fans&qid=1578228629&sprefix=EZDIY%2Caps%2C229&sr=8-3) that are 3 pin but I have a Crosshair VI Hero which only have 4 pin header. But the fans came with a controller so I can control the RGB a bit. They are presets and I can't address them individually but is still looks awesome.

You will need something like this:
