ARGB to RGB

[Iamzod]

I've just updated my 5600X to a 9800X3D but i've realised that my old board had 2 x RGB headers & a single ARGB header, the new board simply has 3 x ARGB.

My fans are simple RGB, is there a way of connecting them up, some sort of adapter maybe?

no, they are not compatible
the "simple" rgb is 4 pin and 12v
the argb is 3 pin and 5v
ie voltages all different
(there's also other major differences too, but voltages is the main one)

if you want to continue to use your current fans with rgb then you'd need to buy a separate controller, shouldn't be too expensive
i've seen a hub that converts a motherboard 12v signal to the 5v argb signal for the fans/strips, but not the other way round
