im an expirence PC builder but now my first RGB System is comming together in some weeks

 

We have already an Gamemax Case (used) with a build in RGB controller

and an Asus Strix GTX 1070 GPU

and more to come

 

Should i just hook up every RGB Cable into that controller ? and that controller intro the Moba

will be 3 Fans, 2 DIMMs, AMD Prism cooler, GPU and Moba that RGBs

Some motherboards have headers for ARGB (addressable RGB) components. I know every major manufacturer - ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI, ASRock - all have their own tech, but they use the same header.

 

That connector from the case looks to be an ARGB connector, so you could theoretically hook the case up to an ARGB header. You can connect multiple components to a single ARGB header through a splitter. That little controller gizmo is probably just an ARGB splitter, though you had best check this. Maybe show us a pic of the connector? The one with the wires soldered to the controller.

 

So yeah, I would connect everything to that and connect that to the ARGB header on your motherboard. Then you can control it via software.

it's a 12v RGB connector. ARGB connectors only have 3 pins.

I meant this one. I see 3 wires, and the 'missing wire' or knocked out pin matches ARGB, but perpkexingly it says '12v' and the 12v pin in in the wrong spot.
