ARGB Connector (Gigabyte X370)

[common]

Hi all,

Was wondering if anyone could offer some assistance. Bought some new fans for my rad and case, connecting into Gigabyte X370 Gaming 5.

Didn't even think to check the connections on my motherboard for the whole argb side of things. I had read that there are connectors (?)
The board has a LED_C2 connection, but says it is 12v while the argb on the fans is 5v.

Based on this and the links, can anyone point me in the direction of the connector I need and spot on my mobo for it.

Thanks in advance. Appreciated.

argb uses ws2812b leds, need gnd, 5v and digital signal (each led can be different color)

12v strips need +12v and - for each color r/g/b some with /w for a white (all leds the same color)

the board does not have an argb header

there are many aftermarket usb controllers for argb

cheap dirty way, with remote, some are usb with software like the corsair icue

Thanks for the reply.

I want to be able to use my installed software to control the lights still, just keeps it simple. And have the full argb spectrum. Gigabyte board so it is using RGB Fusion.

The one you linked, that plugs up to a sata? Could just have the device hidden away in the case, plug up the sata and the 3 pin from the fans (they are daisy chained) into the single port of that device and it would work?

Guess the remote is just a little feature to change it physically instead of via software.

the one i linked has no software, just uses the remote
sata is power only


this uses the mobo rgb header to control the argb strips

Cheers mate. I had seen that one during my search. Only thing I got confused with was which port my Arctic fans would plug into for the argb. And the take away from that video is that I wouldn't get the full argb spectrum, which is fine.

But this does seem like a viable option, which would allow control, from what I am understanding, within Gigabyte's RGB Fusion - which is currently handling the lights on the mobo and ram.

Edit:

The one you linked. Is that the same as this:

Appreciate your help, mate.

yea it looks the same

if you dont mind using other software, the corsair ique commander costs more, but does better
its usb controlled, and you will need adapters for the leds, since corsair does not use a standard argb header on their products

Mate, I truly appreciate your help. I think I will buy the one I linked to you. Seems like it will do the job.
So from all of this I should be able to use my current icue or RGB Fusion to control the fan colour? The fans are already onto a 4 pin to control them, just need the colour control which one of my softwares should be able to do.

your ique thing should work, just need to adapt the corsair dupont argb outputs to the fans argb connector

Cheers. Yeah I am going to have the radiator intake fans and the cpu fan connected together, so it should work fine.

I'll buy that deepcool one. Just hard to work out which is the legit product or not. Some have the deepcool product box, others are just a white box, but same product ha

the white box is often an oem package, with no instructions

Those can all be found online anyways

Oh right. I am going with the labelled box at the moment, from Deepcool. $29 plus delivery. Should do the job. Hope connecting it all is not a pain - seems straight forward.

Hey mate,

Hope you are well.

So I got the adaptor for going 12v to 5v, all the fans are in, but I am unable to control the colours using my software. Was wondering if you could offer any advice?

I have the 2 in-take radiator fans connected to the cpu, then all the case fans are daisy chained together for the rgb and it is running to a LED_C1 4 pin on my motherboard. The end of the daisy chain is going into the deepcool converter as it should.

Would I get full colour control or even be able to do a colour change effect with these fans if I connected them direct to a pwm 4 pin on my motherboard?

wpm header is just to control the fan speed, not leds

Yeah, I believe you did explain it to me. I won't get the full argb control as it is running through the deepcool converter and connecting to a 12v rgb 4 pin on the motherboard.

Would like to have them doing a colour change of some sort, but doesn't seem to be a way. Main thing is better fans.
