Question about ARGB fans

[SimplyChunk]

Hi Folks.

 

Just a quicky about the ARGB fans in my Nephew's new PC.  He's using the Bitfenix Nova TG Mesh with the 4 ARGB fans that are coming included.  I'm still waiting on shipping on the case so can't look directly.  His Motherboard is the MSi Tomahawk MAX B450 which i DO have in hand and have seen it has two RGB headers on it (for control through Mystic Light I pressume).  The question is as follows: Will i be able to use an ordinary RGB splitter cable (say the Corsair one) to connect the ARGB fans to the Motherboard?  Does anyone know if the Nova TG comes with an RGB controller?  I couldn't see a button for it in the pics online.  Thanks for any help it would be much appreciated

Corsair RGB is entirely proprietary to their own products unless you DIY and rewire their products.

 

To add even more bad news, your motherboard has 12V 4 pin RGB headers, but your case comes with ARGB fans which are 5V (and usually 3 pin) which are NOT interchangeable. Fortunately, your case should come with it's own controller, but I dont believe it will be able to connect to the motherboard in anyways, so you'll be limited in the modes available to you.There is a regular RGB edition of this case that comes with the 4 pin RGB headers which you would be able to plug in to your motherboard directly.

 

Here's Bitfenix's PDF on their RGB ecosystems and all the different connection methods.
