X570 Tuf and RBG strips

[Mersaci]

What's up everyone, I am doing a new build with ASUS X570 Tuf and a Corsair 500d RGB SE case, now I want to throw in some rbg lights. What do I need to know before I go out and buy some lights. I need some info on what to look for and what to stay away from.

If anyone can point me in the right direction I greatly appreciate it.

Thank you.

I have an X570 TUF and all I did was plug a light strip into the RGB connector on the board. Pretty shit simple, literally plug and play.

[Mersaci]

Is it a 4 pin connector? I am coming from p67

[Mersaci]

Can I plug this just in the x570 tuf

???

As long as the LED strips are 12V and are not drawing more Amps than the connector on your Motherboard allows you should be fine.

The connector in the picture is a Standard 4 Pin. All this information can be found in your motherboards manual.

Look on the board.

I got the x570 tuf wifi and I have two RGB 4pin 12v and one RGB 3pin 5v.

So yes you could plug it directly to the board (the female end) and then the other end can be used to daisy chain.

Verify voltage maxs (I cant remember them atm) because you cannot daisy to much.

I got an Asus ROG Stryx Z390-F Motherboard for example and the manual states this about 4 Pin RGB headers "3 Amps maximum Power draw at 12V".

there is another page on 3 Pin Adressable headers which are 3Amps and 5V. so it all depends on what your Motherboard supports.
