Corsair Carbide Spec Delta RGB question!

Rosie Crumpton · 28 Apr 2019 at 11:32

I bought this case a couple of weeks ago to find that despite having RGB fans, I couldn't install them or get them running. I've been trying to find an RGB controller that would be compatible with these fans... Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance for any help!

You plug them into your Motherboard header and control them through the App im sure

As Minibikers said you must have the header on the motherboard to control them, what board do you have and is it capable of doing this ?

From the site

Light up your system with three RGB fans, each boasting six customizable RGB LEDs and controlled by ASUS, Gigabyte, or MSI motherboard software.

I do not have an RGB header on my mobo.

EDIT: I have an asus m5a78lm plus/usb3 so it doesn't have a header for RGB, hence asking which controller I should invest in.

Im not 100% on this and im sure others may have more experience with these sort of things but Cooler master sell a RGB port that is powered through SATA and has fan plugs which you then control from Cooler master Software.. As I say double check with someone to make sure, dont want you spending money on pointless things that may not work

I'm just worried if I order something it won't work. I know I need to get a fan splitter for all of my fans to actually run and I need an RGB controller for the lights. I just wish I knew this before I ordered the case XD

I know what you mean ive done it a few times and then get stuck with bits I dont need

It's a pretty active forum so stick around someone with a bit more knowledge will be along soon im sure... The good thing about the kits like cooler master its all controlled on your PC so no need for any extra remotes etc...

Yeah, I've looked at the Cooler Master one and Cooler Master themselves said that you can't control the RGB as it's Corsair fans as opposed to theirs >_<

Well that's a big pain in the backside, There has to be a unit out there that will control fans regardless of the brand of fans... :confused:

I'm in half a mind to order a cheap one with a remote until I get a definitive answer. At least getting the fan splitters will be the simple part :rolleyes:

you can get a few different hub/controllers on here to control your corsair fans give @CorsairChris a shout and he will let you know whats needed

I gave up as the answers I got from a friend who has the same case told me the parts I would need would be more expensive than the case itself. I've ordered a different case which is a static rgb fan and runs off molex power. Thanks for all the help!
