tried this already, a lot of light strips come up
RGBW has 4 colours of LEDs so would need 5 pins, I thought?
it's a bit weird, because my old spire cpu cooler had a 4 pin header connector and the lights on that were fully addressable
I know, but adding 12v to the search keyword doesn't actually work
I'm sure I'd seen it referred to as that for 12v RGB fans though
Hmm strange
There are quite a few companies who've chosen to fit 3 pin ARGB into a 4 pin form factor. Some have a missing pin and some have a redundant pin I think.
I found a filter category for 12V - it might not cover all the options but there are 2 results:

That is a 3 pin ARGB fan, not a 4 pin, all RGB fans are 5v 3 pin, I don't mean a 4 pinPWM fan I mean a 12v 4 pin connector rgb fan, not RGB, big difference!
how does that not blow the 3 pin fan?
now that's what I'm talking about, thanks so much, I really appreciate you finding thatI found a filter category for 12V - it might not cover all the options but there are 2 results:

No it isn't - read the description it's specifically a 4 pin analogue non addressable one and even says 12v RGB in the specs
Read the specs, it's 12V.
Form factor meaning shape of plug. He's if you plug it into a 12V supply it might damage the 5V LEDs. Yes there's a big problem with standardising the connectors for RGB and it hasn't been solved yet.
On second read this post makes entirely no sense! "rgb fan, not RGB, big difference"? Not true
You're right, I'm wrong, you win the internet, and I will hang my head in shame for the rest of the day
