Phanteks Halos and general RGB confusion

[Relentless81]

Hi,

I'm looking into the Phanteks Halos fan frames and led strips but I didn't realise RGB was so complicated, there is argb, digital rgb, normal RGB and I've probably got that wrong!

I have an MSI B450 Pro Carbon which has mystic light, Phanteks supports that which is great, it has two headers, according to the manual one is 5v and one is 12v, I'm not sure if the fan frames can be linked to the led strips and what voltages they all are

I also don't understand how I buy three fan frames of which there are different versions like Lux for example also get and led strip and link them all together into one header?

I only want them to breath slowly from white to blue I don't want crazy light shows in multi colour.

Can anyone help me understand what I need to buy please?

I need -

1 X 120mm fan frame
2 X 140mm fan frame
1 X led strip

Link them all together to one header and control via MSI Mystic Light

Thanks

Normal RGB runs off the 12V header.
Addressable or Digital RGB runs off the 5V header.

The two have a different number of pins.

I believe Halos are all 12V (i.e. not digital), while Phanteks do both 5V and 12V for lighting strips. If you want the lighting effect on the strips to "chase" round the case then you want digital ones (e.g. the Neon Digital RGB kit).

Great thanks, I've read a bit about the halos not being very reliable and white turning yellow over time and white is the main colour I'm after so I might just use a lighting strip instead but still thinking about it
