Hi first post here, 

I have done my first full build and as expected I've hit a few speed bumps. I have bought 2 5 pin CIT Raider fans that I want to connect (don't worry I have 2 EVGA "real" fans connected) the RGB/Fan headers on the board are just 4 pin and putting "4 pin 5 pin" etc into ebay comes up with a million things. Is there an easy fix for this? I understand these are more for show than cooling.

 

I have not had a lot of luck recently having also bought a razer deathadder elite after being recommended it and it isn't recognised by razers overblown software :|

 

I would appreciate any help

Those are proprietary fans and fan headers that likely require a proprietary fan hub

You need the controller that goes with those fans as they have a 5 pin proprietary connector.

I think I might have bought more hassle than it is worth, I think I'll stick them on ebay for cheap and be more careful next time
