How to connect modern ARGB fans from new case to an old motherboard

[Thecrazyandmad]

Hi.

I'm building a PC for my younger brother for christmas out of some old parts I have lying around. However he wants a new case for it with RGB lightning. The case he wants is the Thermaltake S200 tg snow ARGB.

I'm not sure how to connect the new ARGB fans included to the old motherboard. The motherboard is an Asus H81M-D PLUS with an Intel I5 4590 in it.

Can I just connect it directly, or do I need some kind of converter? If so, will this one work: https://www.amazon.com/EZDIY-FAB-Converter-Transfer-Splitter-Motherboard/dp/B082KJH2T3

I know it isn't the best, but it is literally way better than the old laptop he currently has. It can barely run Roblox.

 

Thanks in advance.

button controller

IR controller

Ok. Thanks for the reply.

I take it that the specific one that I linked will work?

No, that's RGB not ARGB.

Which controller do I need then? Can you recommend something? The attached picture shows what the motherboard manual says about the chassis fans.
