Need help for RGB Controller

[Ratan Singh]

Hi all. I am newbie when it comes to PC building. So please excuse me if my doubts or questions seem silly.

 

I recently built a PC with a Antec NX210 case. Its an inexpensive case which comes with 4 ARGB fans and no controller. 

The issue I am having is, there is no option to either change or turn of the lights. In the product page, it has been mentioned that I need to buy a controller which I am fine with. But Antec doesn't sell only the controller so I need to purchase this Antec Prizm 120 ARGB 3+2+C kit which costs same as the case itself. There is no point in buying this kit because I will be left over with extra fans that I am not even going to use. I want to know if there is a way where I can turn off the fans LED? It has a 4pin Molex connector. This is the 2PIN connector that the fans have

Does your motherboard have a 3pin RGB header? If so, Amazon sells splitter cables (anywhere from 2 to 6 fans per cable) for like $5. Plug all the fan's RGB lead into that cable, them it into the motherboard. From there you can turn off all the fans. If your fans have daisy-chain capability, than you'd only need to plug one into the motherboard header. 

My Gigabyte board will let me dim the intensity of mine too.

I have a  MSI B450 GAMING PLUS MAX. And yes it does have a 3 pin RGB header. The fans have molex pins and are daisy chained. So I guess I will need a Molex to 3 pin connector as well? Also I thought that the 2 pin connector that came with the fans is used to change the lights.
