RGB Header Problem

JA01991 · 27 Oct 2018 at 16:18

I just purchased the Coolermaster MF123 ARGB Fan went to connect it to my motherboard (ASUS Prime Z370) But it has a 3pin RGB conection and my motherboard is 4pin

Is there a way round this or do i need to buy another fan

Thanks

3 Pin is generally for addressable RGB strips.

4 Pin is for standard RGB strips. They are not compatible.

I don't know if it does but maybe your motherboard has an addressable strip header as well as a standard strip header?

I can only see a 4 Pin on my motherboard, I will have to buy another fan

Does anyone know if this has a 4pin connector?

It says it compatible with Asus Aura so it should have the right connection.
