A guide to RGB?

[OnionRings]

So I have more RGB in my rig then ever before, late to the parade, I am unsure exactly how to sync it all together.

 

My fans and cooler are all plugged into the same hub, and the ram is just... well plugged into the motherboard 

 

Since the fans and cooler, and case fans are all lian LI, I tried L conect 3, but my ram doesn't seem to show up on there, but it would be nice to sync it with the fans. Any ideas?

If you have Corsair RAM you have to use Icue, I didn't realise that until I bought my corsair RAM. It's a pain in the arse.

Everything should be 4 pin.

ye u might be right about that,  so the "almost normal 3pin"

All I have from lian li is their galahad II trinity cooler, their lancool 216 case, and both of those plug in with 4 pins so when @NorKrisasked if they were 4 pin, thats what I was referring to.

I don't have anything else from them, just the case and cooler, and I was hoping to somehow sync the ram, but its fine if I can't, ill just pick a nice static color and set it all that way.

had to do some googling...  The lian li stuff is   standard JST 3pin ARGB, case looks to be Standard 3pin ARGB 

 

soo all this can go into  icue

Corsair has their own seperate RGB connector that doesn't work with other RGB devices or plugs.

So basically if I want to sync my ram, I need non corsair? or?

well its the normal out side of pc. almost all rolls of strips have it. but because of pc had to make there own thing thow there ues to be many different connectors atleast most mb uses "standerd" connectors...

 

but adapter are easy to find or make. and rolls of strip will just work.

 

the rgb connector is cheaper to make thow and can work as a male,female and pcb mount so...

 

the cd drive audio uses the corsair connetor

If you want to sync your RAM RGB to any other RGB controlling software (other than SignalRGB and maybe a few other softwares) you will need non Corsair RAM.
