12V RGB vs 5V Addressable?

An0maly_76

EDITED:

 

So, I am looking for a way to duplicate the Corsair iCUE temp monitor RGB control in a CyberPower 1392A GameMaster (LOL). Four Apevia 120s, model unknown, with six-pin connectors. I have at least two Corsair lighting nodes, and a third which is possibly a fan hub, but may simply be a mislabeled lighting node. One has two three-pin ports, the other two have six four-pin ports. Trouble is, Corsair info indicates they use a 5V addressable setup that will not work correctly, if at all, with a 12V, and I'm not sure which these are. I have looked on Pirate Dog Tech's site and if there's something there to adapt six-pin fans to a Corsair 4-pin or 3-pin device, I'm not seeing it.

 

The biggest question here is whether these six-pin Apevia 120s will work as intended with a Corsair lighting node or controller, and whether the controller can do the temp monitor control with non-Corsair fans. If so, explain what, if anything, needs to be done other than the obvious, or if not, explain why not.

Due to the above, I've likely revised posts <30 min old, and do not think as you do.

you have to find the pin out of the 6 pins first then ezeast is to cut the connector off and add a different connector to it.

 

if its 6 pins and 5v adressable there will be 3 for the lighting and 3 for the fan my guess 5v data gound for led and 12v,ground, and tac but gues a guess if its pwm maybe it uses ground for both? if that's even posdable??? or could be 5v fan and 5v argb... i dont no haha

 

all corsair controllers are 5v argb but one is 4pin and other 3 pin. the 3pin is for the strip and 4 pin for the fans thow with adapters you can hook 4 pin to the 3 pin...

 

the 3pin gets different controls setting in the software then the 4pin what settings work with what i dont no. there is an adapter you can buy that allows other non corsair stuff get full control i guess like the 4pin fans do... 🤔
