RGB Sync HUB?

[Abdy93]

Hi, Guys,

I fully understand that to sync certain RGB functions on the hardware we use on our PCs, they must be of the same brand or compatible with the RGB synchronization software of the brand.

And I'm concerned that some other components, can not be synchronized because they are not of the same brand, (liquid refrigeration, fans, etc).

 

I use all ASUS stuff, but in mini-itx, and I see that I only have one rgb hub on the motherboard.
How do I add more led strips or fans, and synchronize everything with the software?

 

I recently entered the Asus Aura website and I see that there is more hardware compatible with ASUS AURA, (chassis "NZXT" for example) and I wonder, is the liquid cooling kraken compatible with Aura Sync ?, or the Hue + is it?

 

I also see that Cooler Master has its Master Fans pro fans, which are compatible with AURA SYNC, and they have a HUB to connect all fans in it and keep sync it all, and im wondering if this hub have sync support with led strips,  in the same hub, and synchronize it all (inside the tower) through this Cooler Master hub?

 

I want to have all rgb inside my computer synchronized, and also, have a led strip behind the desk.
what dou you recommend?
Remove all hardware that has RGB and put a HUE +?

There is no way to sync different manufacture's RGB systems since they are manufacture specific. The only option you have is to have a complete matching system or to use a dedicated system for everything. You can add more RGB LED's if your motherboard has a RGB header and is under the max rated capacity it can handle, stuff like the NZXT Hue+ will not work with aura sync.

You can buy a non-pc rgb controller.  Then you strip the wires for each component and solder/twist them to the controller.

I know, but, Im interested on this Cooler Master RGB Hub, and try to sync fans and leds with it.

For fans and RGB LED's they will be simple as Cooler master makes Aura sync comaptible fans, the LED strips would be no different than getting an standard set of SMD5050 RGB LED's and wiring it to the RGB header on the motherboard. Both of those devices, the fans (hub) and the LED's would be on the same header to sync everything together.

So do all RGB strips work with all RGB controllers? I've got a Phanteks Evolv, but I'd like to use the Corsair Commander Pro to control the RGB. 

 

Sorry to ask here, but I don't want to start a whole new thread for a slightly different question. ?

As long as they are SMD 5050 series LED's yes it will work with the Aura sync or Corsair systems. The only thing is the connectors as they can vary between different manufacture's Phanteks uses a JST-SM type connector (Left) so they do make an adapter cable for it to be used as the common 4 pin connectors used with RGB LED's which will work with motherboards but Corsair uses another type (Right).

So is there a Phanteks RGB controller and software? My mobo doesn't have an RGB header.

No Phanteks cases have a built in manual controller to change through different lighting modes and colors nothing software based.

I noticed that when I read through the manual. Which I only did because a sticker on the fan hub told me to.

The silverstone hub is designed for their version of the RGB fans which uses the hub to interface with the motherboard.

It is no fan Silverstone with RGB XDD
just their fan grills
