I didnt like Signal myself, if its even possible.........I couldfnt figure out how to set different effect across different devices, it seemed to be one effect for everything, with OpenRGB I could easily set chase fade for my ram, rainbow wave for waterblock and a couple of fans and just plain white for other fans, I couldnt figure out how to do that sort of thing in Signal.

Not sure you can
Though pretty sure it's been mentioned
As an upcoming feature
Currently on holiday in australia so can't try it on my pc
To double check

yes you can do that in signal.
once you have assigned all your items there is a panel on the right side where you can individualy assign different styles to.
its a bit more complicated than open rgb but so much more under the hood.

Razer Chroma RGB Controller is what im using, 6 standard 3 pin argb ports, but can handle upto 240 LED's so you can daisy chain devices to 1 port, also doesnt require any argb headers on the motherboard, it connects to a USB 2 header, best move I ever made, got mine from the rainforest.

I have one ( I think) argb controller but I have Three 3 pin fans that came with the case,they light up neon blue. Is it possible to change the LED colour with such a plugin device? Or is it all software? Board is MSI B550 MAG Tomahawk.

What's the pc case?
If they're addressable argb
Then might be a button on the case to change colour
Mine I can do both
Change colour by pressing a button on the case
Or use software
Just depends what fans they are
And how they're connected

That sounds like the area
You can individually "paint" each led too

It was just a cheapish case I got from the rainforest. It's tempered glass front and side so it looks quite cool. Came with 3 fans. They have 3 pin and also molex connectors. And the case actually does have a button on top that says RGB. I guess I won't know until I build it.
