aRGB plug query

JollysH1 · 14 Mar 2020 at 01:36

A set of fans I bought arrived one short, but they refunded the entire price and left me with the goods, so all is well. I'm replacing the fan on my beQuiet Shadow Rock LP, with an Alpenfohn wING boost 3, the airflow, noise and pressure are better than the one supplied , and it also has RGB. I was wondering if I could put it into the same hub as the other fans from the set I was one short of? except, of course, the plugs are different.
Does anyone know of a product that would allow me to convert this

To this

Not sure if it's possible, but if it is, I'm sure someone here will know. Many thanks in advance for any replies, you have all been great.

Dman, sorry the pic links still don't seem to be working, I'll get the hang of it soon I hope. Let me know if you need them re-posting.

Thanks all, pics are definitely showing! I'll try to scale them a bit if I need pics in the future.

The first plug is the RGB connector for my Alpenfohn WingBoost 3, it comes with that plug and a standard 4pin PWM, unfortunately because of the blocked pin slot, I can't control it using my onboard MSI Mystic sync header because it's 4 pin. I also have a Fan hub with RBG remote, and a set of fans which all come with the 6pin plug in pic2 (presumably this is power and RGB combined) I'd love to get the Alpenfohn into the same hub so it behaves like the case fans (Lighting only, not speed) but this seems unlikely, is there some sort of converter so I can at least get it plugged in to my Mystic Light sync?

OK so here is one solution, I could use this to control the lighting on the Alpenfohn, it will run off a sata pwr, rather than use the Mystic sync header, and have its own remote,

But I'm confused?? (As usual) The Alpenfohn fan already has a separate 4 Pin PWM connector for the mboard, so it's speed will be regulated by CPU temp. So why does the remote for the RGB have the option to increase or decrease speed? Or is it just a change of light cycle speed, and I'm being a numpty?

Holy ****!!! I got an image to work

only took me about 6 edits

Makes sense, thanks for the confirmation. So it looks like I'll have a remote for all my case fan speeds and RGB, a separate remote for my CPU Fan RGB, and my CPU fan speed correctly controlled by the mboard! oh happy days! it feels like a Kate Winslet moment, It's not perfect but it will do!
Thanks to everyone that helped.
