What are the 12v RGB headers for?

My motherboard apparently has 4 zones for RGB lights. Right now I only have my CPU cooler on one 5v header.

I would like to know what else I can get

LED light strips.

led

the cheaper 12v rgb strips
+12v, -r, -r, -b
all the same color

can cut at every 3 led segment

Oh so just one color for the whole strip, not the cool ones where you can do a circle rainbow and stuff?

thats the argb, or addressable rgb strips using ws2812b programmable leds,
3 pin, +5v, gnd, signal

the board may have a header for that too

can be cut between each led, tell the software or bios how many leds are in the strip

Yeah I know about those, but the 12v headers are just for the basic RGB strips?

yes
