Phanteks P400A Digital RGB

[apatzzy]

Not sure if this is the right sub but I recently purchased a phanteks p400a digital case and a asus z390 aura sync compatible motherboard. I'm trying to get these two to connect for the RGB but my case only has a M/B D-RGB 3pin connector, and the board has a RGB_Header 4pin connector. Is there an adapter for this, or should I be looking to plug the case into a separate slot? Are adapters like this even recommended since it's 3pin and 4pin? Please help

Iirc, if you try and run the 3pin off the 4pin it will fry the connector and there are no adaptors for it as far a I know.

the 4 pin RGB header on your board is for 12v, non-addressible RGB. the ARGB fans are Addressible RGB, which are 5v digital, and are a completly different connector. 

 

I'm not sure which board you have exactly since you didnt clarify (strix, tuff, prime, etc), but I believe most z390 asus boards have this header on it

That board only has two regular 4 pin RGB headers, no ARGB, so you cannot natively plug that into your motherboard

You would need a contrller that would use either a remote controller, surface mounted button or a USB2.0 header to control the lighting. Something like this:
