RGB component on non-RGB mobo

[Cavalry Canuck]

Good Day,

 

I purchased and installed a different CPU fan in my NAS to replace the borked Intel fan. The fan comes with an RGB header; however, the motherboard is an old z87 board that came before the times of fervent RGB.

 

Is there any sort of adapter or card I can purchase with the appropriate RGB header on it that I may install? I don’t need RGB in my NAS box, but it would make a better indicator that it’s on and running than the single dim LED beside the power button.

Several manufacturers like Deepool, NZXT, corsair, and Razer all have RGB hubs you can use to control stuff like this  for example https://www.amazon.com/NZXT-RGB-Fan-Controller-AC-2RGBC-B1/dp/B082PM4K93/ref=sr_1_5?crid=2IX2J7APDIA6H&keywords=pc+rgb+controller&qid=1655084845&sprefix=pc+rgb+controller%2Caps%2C136&sr=8-5  https://www.amazon.com/DeepCool-RGB-convertor-ADD-RGB-Transfer/dp/B09Y8V5X98/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=2IX2J7APDIA6H&keywords=pc+rgb+controller&qid=1655084845&sprefix=pc+rgb+controller%2Caps%2C136&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExRFE2MU9PVDZJNzQ5JmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMTMzODQxMUM4SjFKNzBSQlpUMCZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMDAyMTE4MlZURFBFVlZOVlBJSCZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=

some of the controller need an adapter to attach standard argb connectors to

aquacomnputer and razer and lamptron have stander connectors.

Well I feel like a dumbass now. The whole concept of an RGB controller slipped my mind. Thanks!
