What's your concerns

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 10:08 PM

#

So I have an aio and I don’t know where to plug it in and I was also wondering if I could daisy chain my case fans with my aio

#

And I don’t know where to plug in my rgb for my aio or even the pump itself

#

YouTube was not helpful

summer valley Dec 25, 2023, 10:09 PM

#

What motherboarddo you have

#

What AIO

#

By daisy chain you mean connect to one fan header?

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 10:09 PM

#

Yes

summer valley Dec 25, 2023, 10:09 PM

#

Depends on the AIOs fans

#

Some fans allow daisy chain

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 10:09 PM

#

I have 3 aio fans

#

And I daisy chained them

#

And I have attic p12’s

summer valley Dec 25, 2023, 10:10 PM

#

They connect to one another?

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 10:10 PM

#

I daisy chained them

#

I got 3

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 10:10 PM

#

summer valley They connect to one another?

Yep

summer valley Dec 25, 2023, 10:10 PM

#

Arctic P12's on the AIO?

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 10:10 PM

#

No

#

Separate

summer valley Dec 25, 2023, 10:10 PM

#

Ok

#

Regardless

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 10:10 PM

#

I’m using p12 as case fans

summer valley Dec 25, 2023, 10:10 PM

#

If they connect to each other than yes of course

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 10:10 PM

#

I have the aorus b550 elite ax v2

#

And the deep cool lt720

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 10:11 PM

#

summer valley If they connect to each other than yes of course

If there the same voltage of course

#

But I don’t know if they are

summer valley Dec 25, 2023, 10:11 PM

#

Their the same fans no?

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 10:11 PM

#

No

summer valley Dec 25, 2023, 10:11 PM

#

Oh

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 10:11 PM

#

Look up

#

Deepcool lt720

summer valley Dec 25, 2023, 10:11 PM

#

Yes

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 10:11 PM

#

I used the 3 dans that came with that

summer valley Dec 25, 2023, 10:11 PM

#

Oh

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 10:11 PM

#

And I daisy chained them

summer valley Dec 25, 2023, 10:11 PM

#

you want to connect those

#

to the P12?

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 10:11 PM

#

Yes

summer valley Dec 25, 2023, 10:11 PM

#

Do not do that

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 10:12 PM

#

Why

summer valley Dec 25, 2023, 10:12 PM

#

your motherboard allows you to plug them in seperate

#

Your AIO fans wouldn't ramp up properly

#

Because they believe their case fans

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 10:12 PM

#

Ahh

#

Ok so connect aio fans seperately then case fans

#

But what about the rgb

summer valley Dec 25, 2023, 10:13 PM

#

RGB goes into a spot called RGB_Header usually

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 10:13 PM

#

Should I daisy chain both together?

summer valley Dec 25, 2023, 10:13 PM

#

The other cable on the AIO goes to Pump 1

#

usually

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 10:13 PM

#

I have rgb on my aio

#

And rgb on my case fans

#

I’m wondering if I could daisy chain both together

summer valley Dec 25, 2023, 10:14 PM

#

There is usually 2 RGB headers

#

or they connect to a HUB

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 10:14 PM

#

I don’t have a hub

summer valley Dec 25, 2023, 10:14 PM

#

I wouldn't daisy chain things from other brands

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 10:14 PM

#

Okay

#

So now

#

Where do I connect my aio

#

And where do I connect the rgb from my aio

summer valley Dec 25, 2023, 10:14 PM

#

The Pump usually has a header next to the CPU_FAN

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 10:14 PM

#

If possible could we hop in a vc?

summer valley Dec 25, 2023, 10:14 PM

#

molten trellis And where do I connect the rgb from my aio

RGB_Header

#

Not right now

#

one second

#

what motherboard?

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 10:15 PM

#

B550 aorus elite ax v2

#

Gigabyte

summer valley Dec 25, 2023, 10:17 PM

#

#

Check bottom left

#

Bottom right

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 10:18 PM

#

Bottom left or right

summer valley Dec 25, 2023, 10:18 PM

#

Bottom left is the rgb headers

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 10:18 PM

#

Okay so I do have 2 rgb ports?

#

1 for my aio

#

And one for my pc fans

#

Case dans*

summer valley Dec 25, 2023, 10:18 PM

#

Your case fans are RGB Arctic p12/s?

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 10:18 PM

#

Yeah

summer valley Dec 25, 2023, 10:19 PM

#

And they daisy chain to one header correct

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 10:20 PM

#

Yep

#

Hold on I’ll send a picture

#

viral tulip Dec 25, 2023, 10:28 PM

#

Daisy chain time

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 10:28 PM

#

I daisy chained my case fans and my aio fans

#

But he said I shouldn’t daisy chain my aio fans and my case fans together

#

@summer valley you there bro?

#

Anyone else able to help?

viral tulip Dec 25, 2023, 10:37 PM

#

the one on the cpu if its an rgb goes to the cpu_rgb

#

if its a fan it goes to the cpu_fan

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 10:38 PM

#

viral tulip the one on the cpu if its an rgb goes to the cpu_rgb

You mean the aio?

viral tulip Dec 25, 2023, 10:39 PM

#

ye

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 10:42 PM

#

Alright so

#

The one on the cpu

#

CPU rgb if it’s rgb

#

What if it’s case fans

#

Where do I put the rgb

viral tulip Dec 25, 2023, 10:45 PM

#

rgb header

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 10:46 PM

#

I don’t have an the header

#

Rgb*

viral tulip Dec 25, 2023, 10:47 PM

#

yes u do donut

#

u have 5 rgb ports

#

it says in the image U sent

#

#

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 10:49 PM

#

Ok ok I got it

#

So now

#

Just wanna ask it doesn’t matter which one I connect to what for rgb?

viral tulip Dec 25, 2023, 10:50 PM

#

no bruh

native lily Dec 25, 2023, 10:50 PM

#

It does

#

Whether it’s rgb or argb

viral tulip Dec 25, 2023, 10:51 PM

#

no it doesnt the gigabyte software controls all of them

native lily Dec 25, 2023, 10:51 PM

#

There’s a difference in pinout and voltage

viral tulip Dec 25, 2023, 10:51 PM

#

it should work in either port

#

mine did

#

native lily Dec 25, 2023, 10:52 PM

#

viral tulip it should work in either port

They’re not interchangeable at all, what are you on about

viral tulip Dec 25, 2023, 10:52 PM

#

he has the 3 pins from the video

native lily Dec 25, 2023, 10:52 PM

#

12v “rgb” and 5v “argb” are completely different

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 10:53 PM

#

Ok let’s backtrack

#

Firstly

#

For my aio

#

This 3 pin

#

#

Should go to cpu_fan or cpu_opt

#

Opt is optional?

viral tulip Dec 25, 2023, 10:54 PM

#

the case fans go into the rgb

#

5v one

native lily Dec 25, 2023, 10:54 PM

#

argb

#

Addressable rgb

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 10:55 PM

#

native lily Dec 25, 2023, 10:55 PM

#

3 pin is argb, 4 pin is “regular” rgb

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 10:56 PM

#

These are what’s left from daisy chaining my fans

native lily Dec 25, 2023, 10:56 PM

#

molten trellis

That’s argb. Goes into the 3 pin (a)rgb header(s) in your motherboard

#

And the 10 pin looking thing seems to be usb

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 10:57 PM

#

native lily That’s argb. Goes into the 3 pin (a)rgb header(s) in your motherboard

Ok imma try and find that

#

It’s the one in the bottom left?

#

native lily Dec 25, 2023, 10:57 PM

#

This is what you’ll plug into the motherboard

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 10:58 PM

#

Yeah I got that

native lily Dec 25, 2023, 10:58 PM

#

molten trellis

Yeah. “D_LED”

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 10:58 PM

#

What does the d mean?

#

I’m trying to learn for future builds

native lily Dec 25, 2023, 10:58 PM

#

Idk

#

I’ve never seen that before

#

I just know it’s a 3 pin so it’s argb

viral tulip Dec 25, 2023, 10:59 PM

#

4 pin in normal rgb

#

the 12v

native lily Dec 25, 2023, 10:59 PM

#

It just all looks 1 color you set. Argb is individually controlled leds on a given led strip

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 10:59 PM

#

Ohhh

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 11:01 PM

#

molten trellis

So going back to this

#

Do I have a pump header on my mobo

#

Or do I put it into cpu_fan

native lily Dec 25, 2023, 11:02 PM

#

What motherboard do you have?

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 11:02 PM

#

Gigabyte b550 auros elite ax v2

#

#

I’m reading on the internet

#

I should plug my pump 3 pin into cpu opt

viral tulip Dec 25, 2023, 11:03 PM

#

just read headers

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 11:03 PM

#

And my aio fans into cpu fan

#

Yes?

native lily Dec 25, 2023, 11:04 PM

#

Fans should go into the main cpu fan header, yes

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 11:04 PM

#

Is it the grey one or the black one

native lily Dec 25, 2023, 11:06 PM

#

The grey one

#

It’s labeled above

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 11:06 PM

#

Bet

#

And the pump into cpu opt?

native lily Dec 25, 2023, 11:07 PM

#

Yeah

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 11:09 PM

#

Ok bet got it

#

So now

#

#

With my aio

#

This is my “rgb”

#

Basically I put it on top of my aio and there’s rgb on this

#

So should I daisy chain this with my case fans

#

Artic p12’s

native lily Dec 25, 2023, 11:10 PM

#

molten trellis

Plug it into the male connector on the fans, or plug it in separately to the motherboard. Your choice

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 11:11 PM

#

Any issue for voltage?

#

I’m using 3 fans so that on top of the rgb for this would it exceed the max voltage for a header?

native lily Dec 25, 2023, 11:12 PM

#

Voltage is all 5v. It might exceed the max current (amps), but it’ll probably just say it’s overloaded or something

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 11:12 PM

#

Yeah I want to play it safe

#

I’ll just connect it into 3 different headers

#

1 for my 3 case fans

#

1 for my aio rgb the one I sent above

#

And 1 for my lian li case rgb

native lily Dec 25, 2023, 11:14 PM

#

You only have 2 argb headers. Is one of those devices 4 pin rgb?

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 11:17 PM

#

This is my cases front panel rgb

#

viral tulip Dec 25, 2023, 11:17 PM

#

use ya brain

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 11:17 PM

#

This is my aio rgb

viral tulip Dec 25, 2023, 11:18 PM

#

look for the 3 pin headers on your mobo

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 11:18 PM

#

Yeah

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 11:19 PM

#

native lily You only have 2 argb headers. Is one of those devices 4 pin rgb?

I have 3 3 pins

#

My p12’s are 3 pins

#

So no I don’t got 4 pin rgbs

native lily Dec 25, 2023, 11:20 PM

#

molten trellis I have 3 3 pins

Do you?

#

Or are you saying all your devices are 3 pin

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 11:21 PM

#

All the rgb for the devices are 3 pin

viral tulip Dec 25, 2023, 11:21 PM

#

its the same fucking header ma boi

#

it looks like a 4 pin but has 3 pins

#

i saw it in ur vid

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 11:21 PM

#

Yeah I just said that did I not?

#

3 3 pins

viral tulip Dec 25, 2023, 11:22 PM

#

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 11:22 PM

#

3 pin rgb on my case fans 3 pin on my aio rgb and 3 pin on my front panel

viral tulip Dec 25, 2023, 11:22 PM

#

there is 1 right there

native lily Dec 25, 2023, 11:22 PM

#

So you cant put them on different headers

viral tulip Dec 25, 2023, 11:23 PM

#

u can

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 11:23 PM

#

viral tulip there is 1 right there

Yes I know but I’m not daisy chaining my case fans and my front panel and my aio run

#

It would exceed voltage

viral tulip Dec 25, 2023, 11:23 PM

#

u dont have to bruh

#

daisy chain the front 3 to 1 header

#

then the aio

native lily Dec 25, 2023, 11:23 PM

#

viral tulip u can

He wanted to put them each on different headers. But 3 devices can not be separated onto 2 headers

native lily Dec 25, 2023, 11:23 PM

#

molten trellis It would exceed voltage

Current, not voltage

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 11:24 PM

#

viral tulip daisy chain the front 3 to 1 header

I did that

#

That takes up 1 header

#

Now I have my aio rgb

#

And my front panel rgb

#

Both are 3 pins

viral tulip Dec 25, 2023, 11:24 PM

#

connect them

native lily Dec 25, 2023, 11:24 PM

#

Daisychain case and pump, and fans

viral tulip Dec 25, 2023, 11:24 PM

#

all u need to do is put them onto 2 headers

native lily Dec 25, 2023, 11:25 PM

#

Do separate headers if you’re that worried

viral tulip Dec 25, 2023, 11:25 PM

#

u can control the rgb in the software

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 11:25 PM

#

native lily Daisychain case and pump, and fans

So daisy chain all three

native lily Dec 25, 2023, 11:25 PM

#

molten trellis So daisy chain all three

Fans on one header, and pump + case on another hesfer

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 11:25 PM

#

Ahhh

#

Ok lemme try that out

#

Okay so my rgb for my case fans should go on D_led1

#

And my pump and front panel into led c1

#

That would work?

native lily Dec 25, 2023, 11:30 PM

#

molten trellis That would work?

Yes

molten trellis Dec 25, 2023, 11:46 PM

#

native lily Yes

Yo led c1 is 4 pin

#

What do I do

native lily Dec 26, 2023, 12:06 AM

#

molten trellis Yo led c1 is 4 pin

D_led

molten trellis Dec 26, 2023, 12:28 AM

#

native lily D_led

I used d_led 1 for my front panel and aio

#

Can I use d_led2 for my case fans?
