RGB fans

William23r
Go to solution Solved by Kc7vwc,

Gigabyte has a listing of all their compatible accessories.  https://www.gigabyte.com/MicroSite/512/partners.html

I've got one of their ITX B450s and ran into the same issue. I'm currently waiting for a Cooler Master PWM/aRGB hub to ship from overseas. But it really looks like the best bet is to find a fan hub with SATA connections to power then all. Then find another non-software controlled aRGB hub or cable splitters to handle the lighting. Sadly, this won't let you controller each fan individually, but (IMO) RGB Fusion isn't exactly Advanced enough for individual control either. 

I have some 120mm cooler master RGB fans and I’m looking to get another two for the top of my case but my Mobo ( Gigabyte b450m) doesn’t have enough RGB slots for the fans . Is there any controllers that would work with RGB fusion to control the RGB on all the fans ?

Thanks in advance

Corsair, CM, NZXT, etc depending on your fan brand all have RGB controllers. I have x8 RGB fans in my case and the only thing using the RGB Mobo headers are the light strips

As far as I can see, that will power & control the fans, it just won't sync with RGB Fusion. It looks to connect to the PC via USB and uses it's own software. 
This (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0829QNBS2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) is what I'm waiting for, but it was a serious pain to find one in stock anywhere.
