RGB not working after connecting 3Pin ARGB to 4Pin ARGB

[MayankVallah]

So I have a fan controller that came with a case. It was working fine and the RGBs of the fans were good as well.

The fan controller has RGB lights on itself and they were working fine as well.

 

The fan controller had an extra cable for motherboard.

 

But it was 3 pin and my motherboard had 4 pin. So I decided to somehow fit the wire on the 4 pin header and I did.

Nothing changed when I connected it to G B R, then I flipped it, nothing.

Then I changed the position to 12V G B and the RGB colors stopped spinning. Then I disconnected the wire but the colors were still and not spinning like before.

I restarted the computer after turning the case supply off and now the RGB won't light up.

Not even the remote or the RGB button on the case works.

Can I fix it somehow? Please help me

3 pin aRGB is 5V, while 4 pin RGB is often 12V, so it's quite possible that you fried something. Just lighting, though, so just ignore it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

wouldn't be surprised if you cooked your controller tbh, considering they're at different voltages. you'll need to try finding a compatible controller to replace it.

Thanks. I'm just worried about the FAN LEDs to be honest.

I can get a replacement for the controller but because of the virus, it's gonna be delayed.

I contacted support and they told me they can get me a replacement for it, although it's going to be delayed.
