@crude coral can we continue chat in here?

crude coral
#

okay

hardy bramble
#

nice

crude coral
#

thank you

#

I can explain

#

so I wanna connect my deepcool fan to my motherboard rgb but idk if it’s the correct cable

#

ive had the fans in a fan controller where that changes the the rgb

#

but they support rgb sync so they work with the software on pc

#

there is this port on the fan

IMG_9397.jpg
#

i’m unsure if this is just for the fan controller

#

or for rgb on motherboard

hardy bramble
#

okay so thats a RGB/Fan power cable, 1 pin is for fan speed, the other 3 are for R,G,B

crude coral
#

okay

hardy bramble
#

you should be able to plug it into a RGB connector on your mobo but DONT DO IT YET

crude coral
#

I have a port on my motherboard called JRGB1

hardy bramble
#

I see a connector that should work, JRGB2?

unknown.png
#

dont plug it in btw

crude coral
#

I think i’m meant to have a different plug tho but i’m not sure

crude coral
hardy bramble
#

yeah, but your mobo has 2 of them in case you want 2 controller

#

what I did for my RGB strip that I have on my desk is I plug it into a connector on my mobo and then in software i can control it

#

the problem I see with plugging in a fan to RGB port is that you wouldnt be able to control fan speed, be default its full blast and very loud

crude coral
#

it’s worth it

#

I think I need the other cable to do the rgb with the circles

hardy bramble
#

just make sure when you plug it in you dont plug it into Jaud1 or something

hardy bramble
#

dont do it yet

crude coral
#

yea it’s just the 1

crude coral
hardy bramble
#

k good

crude coral
#

the canble also can plug into the rgb controller

hardy bramble
#

in that case you dont really need the controller

crude coral
#

I can show you a picture

hardy bramble
#

sure

crude coral
hardy bramble
#

as far as I know it will work

#

i did the same thing on my pc but with RGB strip instead of fan

crude coral
#

just incase it’s wrong

hardy bramble
#

then I suggest you do more research before you plug it in, just to be safe

frozen lance
#

@crude coral that connector isn't an RGB connector. It won't fit into a standard RGB header

crude coral
#

okay

#

do I need the circular

frozen lance
#

It's an end of a daisy chain, which goes into another cable

#

What case is this?

crude coral
#

it’s an areocool one

#

it’s cheap

#

but it has tempered glass

frozen lance
#

Are the fans using molex?

crude coral
#

yea but somehow ik you can sync it to the motherboard

frozen lance
#

You can't

crude coral
#

I can link you the fans

frozen lance
#

Sure

#

if I cannot sync them do you have any rgb fans that can do that I have £50

#

or should I buy a new case with rgb fans

#

also thanks for helping me

frozen lance
#

How many fans are you using?

crude coral
#

just the 1

#

at the back

#

I don’t have the front fan plugged in on the case because it’s molex

#

and it’s ugly

#

and idk if I can remove it

frozen lance
#

You can, but that's a different topic

crude coral
#

okay

#

fans

frozen lance
#

Actually, you should replace the front molex fan with the RF120

crude coral
#

then I wouldn’t have a fan at the back

frozen lance
#

The cooler will do the job of exhaust. Getting cool air into the case is a lot more important than exhausting hot air

crude coral
#

can you sync the corsair fans with the rgb

frozen lance
#

Wait you have Corsair fans?

crude coral
#

no but I wanna buy them

frozen lance
#

Don't

crude coral
#

I gotta remove the psu to get to the front fan screw

#

i’m not doing that

frozen lance
#

Now I don't know what you want to do. If you just want to plug the fan in, here

Avoid buying Corsair fans

Fan Table

Here is a table of recommended fans:

frozen lance
#

Instead, consider these options

crude coral
#

okay

#

I have a question about them

#

do they allow me to sync rgb

frozen lance
#

Yes, with their own proprietary connection and software

#

Meaning you'd need a specific software to control only the Corsair fans, then something different for everything else

#

And iCUE is terrible software

crude coral
#

is there anyway to remove the front fan without taking out my psu to reach the screw

frozen lance
#

By opening the side panel and reaching under the PSU shroud, yes

#

You don't need to remove the PSU

crude coral
#

there’s like a tiny gap

frozen lance
#

It's as good as you get

crude coral
# grand ingot

I have £50 and i’ll probably want like 2-3 fans, what would you recomend

frozen lance
#

Arctic P12 ARGB

crude coral
#

and is that compatible with

#

ahh okay so

#

do I buy the fans

#

and an rgb hub

#

and they will work?

crude coral
frozen lance
#

You'll have to use the controller

#

I don't think there's a way to use motherboard software when you don't have any ARGB headers on the board itself

#

I also realize a hub won't work for the same reason

crude coral
#

so without a motherboard upgrade it isn’t possible to control the argb fans with software

frozen lance
#

Essentially

#

@crude coral but I wouldn't upgrade the motherboard just for that

crude coral
#

okay thank you

#

so should I stick with the deepcool fan

frozen lance
#

You could also get non RGB fans

#

But I don't believe that's what you're looking for

crude coral
#

no I wouod rather have rgb

#

I could buy more of the same fan

crude coral
frozen lance
#

If said cooler is RGB and not ARGB, it'll work with the motherboard

crude coral
#

okay thanks

crude coral
#

@frozen lance I think my fan is just rgb and not argb

frozen lance
#

Yes

crude coral
#

does that mean if I get an rgb cable it’ll worl
