They are not intercompatible. The pinouts are different. If you attempt to plug an addressable RGB strip into a non-addressable header, you'll fry the strip at best, fry the board at worst. If you do attempt to plug a non-addressable strip into an addressable header, it just won't work, and that's just for the 12v vs. 5v differential. Additionally, the pinouts are entirely different.

if the lian li is argb and the ml120 are also argb it will work....but off the bat the connectors are different so then you have to get an adapters.

 

there are some ways of getting argb to work with rgb controller but its not ideal plan your build around all rgb or all argb.

 

if you all ready have the corsair commander or node and want the argb strip to attach to it then you need an adapter  1 2 3
