GT502 LED switch help

thespiritomb · December 28, 2024

Hello everyone, I am extremely new computer building and I need some help here. I bought a GT502 standard case by TUF, plus many ARGB fans to go with it. The set up is complete except for the fact that what I believe to be the LED switch cable from the front IO is first of all, unlabeled and doesn't look like a standard pin connector, and Secondly way to short to ever be able to plug into the motherboard. I'd really like to be able to use the LED switch for this case, is there anything I can do? Should I purchase a extending cable? Which one would I even buy? I have no clue where to go with this and any help is much appreciated

Looked up a video about this case.
It's supposed to go on the RGB hub that's on the back of the case, but you have the standard version, so you don't have one.
There's also supposed to be some mind of RGB controller that's on the front, and if you do have one, you should also have an extension cable that would plug to that two pin, and then connect the extended cable to the front controller.
Obviously, if you don't have said controller, no LED switch, which is stupid, but, alas.

I pretty much figured it was a bust from the start, I also saw how it was for the plus version, making the button for the standard case useless. However I am very determined to get this button working regardless. Is there any way around this? Purchasing a new cable that maybe splits into 3 parts so I can attach them to each individual argb controller? Or maybe just an extension to plug it into the motherboard would work? I will search some more online I guess to find a work around

If you're really hell bent on that...

TUF Gaming TF120 ARGB Fan Controller, that's what you need.

Here's ASUS's page about it:
