RGB control without MB header?

Go to solution Solved by Tech87,

My wife's build is a little dated (4790k, r9 Fury X, 16GB DDR3), but totally sufficient for her needs (Indie games, older AAAs, MMOs, JRPGs)

 

The only thing she's missing is RGB control. My build is obnoxiously full of RGBs and there's a wave of pink/RGB builds flooding social media rn. But her MB is too old to have RGB headers and it's not worth rebuilding the whole PC just to add LEDs since the performance is fine otherwise.

 

Is there a good/convenient way to implement/control fan/AIO/LED strip RGBs without MB support? I know she'd want to change colors (yellow, cyan, purple) as well, which rules out static LED fans. Perhaps a controller that attaches via USB or something?

 

Thanks,

She already has a Razer keyboard so this is perfect. I had no idea this existed.

 

Good looks.
