Is this video real?

Hello!

I soon will get a new case (Segotep Lux II V2) which comes with the Segotep Lighting 12 fans. I want to RGB control these fans, and I came accros this video. Segotep said that they aren't RGB controllable, but often they have messed up specifications etc.

You can't connect them to mobo and can't use mobos controls. But case should come with remote and control box with propitiatory connectors.

Unfortuneatly it doesn't. Checked the reviews in Romania. But I am still confused if that video works.

It looks like they are splicing RGB remote to fan hubs power and then changing voltage delivered to change colors. I don't think its real or if it is, its waste of time and money. To get that kind of remote, you could just by fan kit with hub.

To dig further. Molex connector has 12V, 5V and two GND. RGB connector is 12V, G,R,B. In order to fan to work, it needs 12V and GND to be connected. Since those fans don't have separated RGB control cable, the PCB is powering LEDs with premade programming. Thats it. You would need to change that PCB to one which actually relays RGB info to LEDs.
