Software controlled RGB Controller ?

[Jamin280672]

Can anyone suggest a software controlled RGB controller please, I dont know where to start looking really.

I looking at buying some Phanteks D30 120mm fans, but as these dont come with any sort of controller im going to need one for them, id prefer software controlled, maybe something that plugs into a USB2 header on my board, so I dont have to run the same colours on all the fans.

Connect them to your motherboard?
Then use the motherboard software to control them
Though personally I prefer using signal rgb
Even free version has a ton of presets
And if you want to really dig into
The settings
You can change every led individually

There's only 2 headers on the motherboard though, I'd have 2 devices plus about 9 fans connected to them, I think then half of the 11 devices would be all the same colours / pattern and the other half would be another colour / pattern ?

The only downside of my motherboard software is it's a major major piece of bloatware, Asus Armoury create, it's rubbish........I could never get the hang of signal RGB, I'm using open RGB at the moment

I think this may work for what I'm looking for though https://nzxt.com/en-GB/product/rgb-and-fan-controller

I did have a look at the Aqua bus things, but they are quite pricey, and would probably need a couple of them, so I tried a Corsair iQUE Core XT do da what ever they call it, with a load of hacked cables, got it all from the rain forest, I thought "great if it works, I can plug the fans and the RGB into one controller and be done with it".........buuuuuuut, it didnt work, so I sent the whole lot back.

As I have a Razer wireless mouse, I have Razer Synapse installed anyway, so I brought a Razor chroma RGB controller, you can connect 6 RGB devices to it, however, I have 3 fans on a splitter, and 2 other devices on a splitter, so have 13 devices plugged into it in total, it can handle 240 LEDs so more than enough, im using 154, so loads of headroom still, and dead easy to setup in the Synapse software.

Ive then got 3 of these which are tiny, connected to the 3 headers that are controllable on my motherboard (the other 3 headers are permanent !00% and not controllable), bios is handling the speed of the fans.
