RGB help

[Connor McG]

So I have my entire rig built, but am looking into getting 2 phanteks halos, and some rgb strips, cablemod is kinda expensive, so I was wondering if there are cheaper options that are compatible with ASUS Aura, I also need to know if I need a control box or not, I have a b350-f Gaming ROG Strix Motherboard, im just confused  any help is awesome

Put the GPU on the top slot. I use cable mod strips cause they just work.

Is it ok if I have the gpu on the bottom? it blocks the mobo lighting if its on top

I'll assume you meant B350  

 

Phanteks, NZXT, and a lot of other manufacturers make strips I that are Aura compatible.

 

You shouldn't need a control box, just a 1-3 splitter and some male-to-male 4 pin adapters, which you can get on amazon

Depends on what the slots are. I believe the top two slots on that mobo, while being PCI-E x16, are different versions. The top is 3.0 and the bottom is 2.0. Honestly I don't reckon there should be a bottleneck at all putting it on the 2.0 slot, but you might want to try each and see if you can see a difference.

Aura Sync compatible components https://www.asus.com/campaign/aura/us/Sync.html

 

The motherboard has two RGB Aura headers. You may need some splitters.
