Phanteks Enthoo Evolv- Has anyone connected the case RGB plug to RGB strips? How does it work?

[chickadee]

Ok im completely confused with this case, now the case has an inbuilt RGB plug but i cant for the life of me find any instructions or a manual for it, its not in the case manual at all and im really not sure what its for or how to use it, i have 4 Phanteks RGB strips that i plugged straight into my motherboard but it makes me wonder what the inbuilt connector is for, does anyone have any idea what its for and how to use it?

I bought the official phanteks 2m strip for my old enthoo luxe case. It plugged into the case header and you could cycle through the colours using the same button that changes the inbuilt LEDs. Nowhere near as good as addressable LED strips but with the aid of an adapter you can connect the phanteks strip to a motherboard header (gigabyte in my case) and control it like any other strip.

Ok that makes a lot of sense BUT i watched a video and i cant find it again where the reviewer connected the Phanteks strips to the case and then somehow conected it to the motherboard too and then the motherboard controlled all the lights as well as the power LED and power switch LED, i wonder how thats done, there are no instructions at all......

Oh god i feel like a fool, it included that cable in the phanteks light kit! although i have misplaced my manual for it.....i cant find an online manual either, do you know how to conect it along with the lights etc? There is no reference to any of the lighting in the Enthoo manual either so im stumped!

There's an internal connector for the case lights and the optional led strip. You just plug them directly into the motherboard instead, it's very simple. You may need the adapter linked to above (I bought one for the light strip and one for the case lights) depending on which mobo you're using but that's it.
