Yes as long as the pin types match, check the manual with the board, the important pin is the +5V

Manual says +12v/g/r/b for both headers

My bad +12v not +5v as long as the pin headers for the voltage on the mobo line up with the voltage on the plug you're good to go.

An easier way to check is to look on either the aura website or coolermasters site to see if it is aura sync compatible.

The worst that can happen as long as you have the voltage correct is that the g/r/b headers are in a different order.

I hope that makes sense I've had a long day.

Just plug them in making sure the arrows on the plugs are on the voltage headers.

Yea has a tiny arrow on one side that's for the 12v side thank you for all your help mate it's appreciated

No problem, when I was setting up mine there wasn't a great deal of info available, also if you have an addressable header splitters work on them.
