Yeah, I think I fried my fan LEDs by plugging them into a MSI 12V header (poorly labeled). So pissed, but at least the fans spin up and work. I'll live with it for now.
Dude I just built a PC after 15 years of not doing so... back then everything was powered via Molex or SATA... I did connect a 3-pin into a 4-pin, but thank god nothing died... I guess maybe the RGB leds died a little? I will be more careful next time! This video is GOATED!
Funny this gets recommended to me the day after I fry my board in almost the same way. PSU that was released in 2023 for some unknown reason had a FDD connector (yes, floppy drive) coming off the molex cable and since the molex cables were connected to the fans, I assumed the FDD connector was a fan connector since they look similar enough. Plugged it into a fan header and now the board is dead.
Ground is an important thing, if you dont have it... All of your devices will have electric feel, i have no ground in my room so the metal parts in my : keyboard, pc, even my phone when its plugged to my pc can give my a small amount of electricity shook.
I see a 3 pin black header next to the black 4 pin labelled D-LED and the motherboard website says it’s for addressable LED’s, can I plug my fans into there?
If you haven’t done it yet, a simple way of knowing where to plug it in is looking at the wires on your fans. Is there 3 wires or 4 on the RGB cable? If there’s 3 wires, plug into the 3 pin.
I plugged that thing into the regular spot but connected to it was another cord that was also 3 pin but without that missing one and it fried that cables but my fans work and they still have light so I got lucky
I have connected the 3 pin of the fans correctly to the argb header. Fans supports aurasync as advertised. But aurasync and signal rgb software doesn't detect the fans. I can't change the rgb color.
Maybe a dumb question, but I am trying to connect my addressable rgb led lights together. Does it matter if the pins for the light strip are in this order (+5V, N/A, D, GND) instead of (+5V, D, N/A, GND) ?
Hey! I have question= i bought jonsbo cr 1400 ARGB cpu cooler and it has 2x ARGB connectors 1 connector have pins and another connector didn”t have pins and i dont have ARGB header in my mobo cause its asrock b450m hdv r4.0) how do i connect rgb lights should i bought ARGB controller or hub?
I have a question,I have the cooler sistem with a cable 3 pin 5 v but the motherboard have the 4 pin 12 v someone know something’s like an adapter to use ?
Bruh i have 2 ARGB headers. The three way splitter for the corsair H100x Rgb elite just will not connect to either of the headers or the argb/fan controller for some reason. Im connecting it the way its supposed to be connected with the arrow. But it just WILL NOT GO. The other ARGB connectors i have work just fine. Can someone help just a teenie bitt.
the three way splitter has three 4 pin connectors (connect the 4 pin cable to one of these) and one 3 pain connector (you connect this to the 3 pin addressable RGB on the motherboard). i think... lol.
@@ulysses4989 i'm currently trying to get the front plate to light up. haven't figured it out yet. i think it's because on the 3 way splitter you have to connect the front plate to splitter #1 (but they're not labeled so who knows). my motherboard is x570 asus.
@@ulysses4989 i just figured it out... the 4 pin RGB is not meant to go into one of those two RGB Headers. It's meant to go into the 3 way splitter Corsair gives you. There's 3 RGB headers on it, and a 3 pin on the other end. The 3 pin goes into your motherboards 3 pin RGB header (pin 3 is blank). The RGB header from the core has to go into one of the 3 splitters. It MATTERS which one you put it in. I put it in what I thought was #1 but the center would not light up. I just changed it to #2 and now it lights up. Hope this helps.
@retrobrahhh I don't believe I had a splitter in the box.. what does it look like? Are the pins exposed on this particular splitter or am I looking at a different one I believe you're talking about the proprietary connector? And I have no commander core
