Hey,

Recently changed to a mini itx system.
Motherboard is Gigabyte x570i Aurus Pro WiFi.

Now I'm in a bit of a pickle, the issue been my motherboard (like many, if not all that I've seen in mini itx form factor ) only has 1x F_USB connector.

Now my cpu cooler is a Aorus ATC800 which has 4 pin fan connector & F_USB connector. (for thr rgb)

My fans which are Sp140 RGB Pro fan kit which comes with the lighting node core also requires 1x F_USB.

What can I do to resolve this issue so I can have all the RGB running?
The fan kit isn't an issue if I plug that into the only available F_USB then my fans rbg works, but that would leave my cpu cooler with absolutely no rgb at all lol

Is there any work arounds or adapters?
Bloody stupid they only put 1x F_USB port on the mini itx board's.
Appreciate any replies :)
 
Oh brilliant,
That looks like it'll do the trick just nicely, hopefully wit that adapter I'll still be able to adjust the colours and it not just power the rgb but with no control

It’ll work fine. Just to clarify, the kolink is not magnetic but the nzxt one is in case that’s important to you.
 
Yeah I've ordered the nzxt one as I'd prefer it be magnetic so don't have to use sticky pads or velcro to mount it, I've found a nice place I can mount it out of sight.
Cheers blue :)
 
So connected it all up, cpu cooler rgb works using the nzxt hub but the corsair fans do not light up, I'm thinking the corsair hub thing doesn't like been on the nzxt hub or something, so I still have no rbg on the fans, so annoying lol

Do either of the devices use all 9/10 wires for the USB header? Or are they both 4/5? A USB header is actually two usb ports next to each other, so you should be able to either fit the pins from one device into the other device's plug, or get a breakout cable to make everything connect. Photos might help :)
