Looking for help with an Uphere fan controller's connections

Go to solution Solved by thrasher_565,

the controller is at a fixed rpm as there no pwm

 

to control the fans you have to cut off the 12v and ground and wire it to a mb header and in bios set it to dc mode and set a fan curve if your mb can do so. other wises it be old school electronics like a resistor. pot, switch with say off. 12v,5v,7v some fans might run at 3v but most don't so...

 

there is an adapter that makes dc fans pwm but i think it needs a tac? but i dont really no. but you can buy a pwm fan for the cost of an adapter so...🤷‍♂️

 

this site you might be able to find the adapters but dont no. probly find them on aliexpress too i can find the rgb adapters but not the fan so...🤷‍♂️

I picked up a bunch of parts for free (case, MB, fans and controller) from a redditor on /r/hardwareswap and I'm trying to use them in a new build.  I got no response from Uphere to my inquiry so I came here hoping someone can help me.  I think I may be missing something (a remote for the controller?) as the board in the fan controller has to COM ports.  I thought that they might connect to the MB fan connectors, but see that the pinout/voltage is wrong for that connection.  Here is a pic of the controller's board.  Does anyone have any idea what/where I should connect the COM ports to?  TIA for any input.

So that is a propriatory fan controller for proprietary fans, likely from some pre built machine. I believe the com ports should be connected to both PWM headers and RGB/ARGB headers via a propriatory cable.

 

Meanwhile, the power port connects to SATA power via another propriatory cable. That cable may also have a sensor on it for a controller, but the controller won't be needed for operation.

 

However, unless you actually have 6 pin fans to go with the controller, I'd suggest just putting the controller in the bin. And tbh, if you do have 6 pin fans, I'd suggest putting the controller and the fans in the bin.

 

Fans and controller are cheap and somewhat unimportant if your using lower end hardware, so I don't think it is worth the effort to search out propriatory cables.

Common build advice:

1) Buy the cheapest (well reviewed) motherboard that has the features you need. Paying more typically only gets you features you won’t use. 2) only get as much RAM as you need, getting more won’t (typically) make your PC faster. 3) While I recommend getting an NVMe drive, you don’t need to splurge for an expensive drive with DRam cache, DRamless drives are fine for gamers. 4) paying for looks is fine, just don’t break the bank. 5) Tower coolers are usually good enough, unless you go top tier Intel or plan on OCing. 6) OCing is a dead meme, you probably shouldn’t bother. 7) "Bottlenecks" rarely matter and "Future-proofing" is a myth. 8) AIOs don't noticably improve performance past 240mm.

Thanks for your input.  From what I can gather this setup is pre-RGB era stuff.  The power connector for it is a Molex 4 pin.  I do have 3 fans for it so it's not a total waste, plus I'm retired on a fixed income so any money not spent is what I'm going for.  Being a retired electronics tech I am also hoping maybe someone has some of this hanging around and can provide me with enough info to cobble  something together,

As I said, I don't believe this is true. From everything I can see online, the com ports on this board will connect (propriatory cable) to both a PWM header and an RGB/ARGB port on the mothboard.

I've managed to find what appears to be a clone of it still on sale:

However, my continued suggestion would be to just bin the fans and the controller and do without (unless your looking for a project 🙂). Case fans arn't that important most of the time. What is in the rest of your build?

I agree that a proprietary cable is needed, but I suspect it only connects to the MB fan header.  The fans have no RGB and do function when connected to the controller, but I am looking to be able to control their speed.

Yeah those are RF controlled so no help there.
 
Frugal as I am, I won't bin something that functions (at least partially).  As to a project, everything I fool with is a project hehe.  The build is a Asus ROG STRIX B350-F Gaming MB with an AMD R5 5600G, a 500Gb NVME and 16Gb of 3466 DDR4 Corsair Vengeance DRAM.  Thanks again for your input, I will soldier on in hopes of someone who has messed with this item.

I don't think so. The point of all the different 6 pin fan designs were that they combined the fan cables to improve cable management. If this fan controller was only meant to connect to the MB fan header, then the designers wouldn't have reinvented the wheel.

They are actually both RF and motherboard controlled, see the cable to the left of the remote on the 7th image (which has both PWM (or DC) and ARGB connectors). Pretty sure that is the type of cable your missing. However, the pin out order could be different.

If the COM ports were just 5V ARGB wouldn't they be missing pin 3?

(Also, just found this source that explains that)

the "traditional" argb connector is 5v data space ground but when it comes to proprietary any wire can be in any spot and any connector can be used hence proprietary

 

so you can get any order for both argb and rgb connectors and even mb headers can also be random order...

Thanks to all who have replied.  I'll be testing the RGB strip theory, just to see if it works as I don't care about RGB on this build.  I'll most likely initially run the fans at whatever fixed speed they run at because some airflow is better than none.

cant test argb with out the remote. and gl finding strips. fans might not even run with out the remote too but don't no. i think your wasting your time. you can buy a controller for like $8 so ...🤷‍♂️
