connecting rgb fans to mb

RobTi · 27 Feb 2019 at 15:26

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Corsair RGB Fan Hub Controller - Black= £11.99

Total: £14.73 (includes shipping: £2.74)

looking to connect a couple of rgb corsair fans to a msi b450 gaming pro carbon ac mb that has the JCORSAIR header on a motherboard, would this do and do I need a special cable to connect to the mb and from where ?
Thanks

@CorsairChris might be able to lend some knowledge

Note: Remote control and cables for connecting to the Corsair Commander Pro RGB LED Controller or to the JCORSAIR header of a motherboard are not included with the package.

Specification:
- Dimensions: approx. 70 x 50 x 38 mm (L x W x D)
- Weight: approx. 45 g
- Colour: Black

Connectors:
- 6x 4-pin (for fan)
- 1x 3-pin (for controller / remote control / JCORSAIR header)
- 1x SATA (for power connection)

seems like you still need the cable, did the mobo vendor supply it in the box?

Hey RobTI

This question has actually stumped me. The hub is the right product to connect the fans too, but i'm not sure if it includes the cable to motherboard.

Are you based in the UK? If it doesn't have the cable with it, reply to this thread and i'll get a cable from my collection mailed out to you.

Cheers

Chris

Thanks Chris will get it ordered and we will see

@CorsairChris
Hi so ordered the hub and have had a good read up on this and it appears as far as I can see that the cable isn’t supplied with the hub and Corsair don’t sell it on its own,a few posts on the USA forum, so could I take you up on your offer of a cable to connect the hub to the Corsair header.
Thanks

Interesting to that in the US third parties make the cables ...

Also seeing the make converters for mobo 3 pin Argb headers ...

Seems the extension cables in the Lighting Pro kits are the ones that are needed

@RobTi
No problem, i'll send you one out now to be sure anyway.

If you could DM me an address and contact number for the courier, i'll get one in the post to you.

Cheers

You are correct, the extension cables do come a plenty in the lighting node pro kit!

any way to Push Corsair to include the extra cable needed in future packs or assist mobo vendors with the cable needed?

you prob could make a neat ££ on selling a converter from your RGB box to ARGB 3 pin headers found on asus/gigabyte/asrock that dont feature a JCorsair header

CorsairChris · 28 Feb 2019 at 09:19

An ARGB header on those boards wouldn't be able to run our fans, only JCORSAIR1 header on MSI motherboards, due to the fact our fans only are compatible with ICUE.

Going to send an email about the cable in the future packs now.
