I would thoroughly appreciate it if you could make a video on how to properly set up a AM5 NZXT motherboard, the bios update, the EXPO and other Advance setting needed after building the PC.!
@@TheProvokedPrawnHey man! Just wondering where you bought the SATA power input cable from? I didn’t realise it doesn’t come with the 10 port fan hubs 😅
This was really informative, thank you. Doing a new build since 2016 and to this day I only had 3 fans connected in my case, which was never ideal but I never ran into any problems lmao. Anyway, gonna try 6 fans and do it correctly this time.
I have a question for 2in1 ARGB + Fan hubs in general. The power supply, in consideration to 3 pin - 4 pin, to any hub is either 5v or 12v and I am in a bit of a pickle with 12v fans and 5v ARGBs. My question is, do these controllers usually have built in converters as to I power it with, for instance 12v, and it will supply respectively 5v to argb heads and 12v to fan heads? I am trying really hard to avoid having two hubs, one for fans and one for argbs, but no matter how I twist it its looking more and more like that would be the only easy fix, without adding extra complications.
Do you know how compatible the new Lian Li TL fans are with the Kraken Elite AIO? Kinda want CAM to control my AIO fans, but it doesn't seem as straight forward as with the SL/AL fans. Just wondering if you've gotten around to test this yet?
RGB connectors suck to begin with. The NZXT version pisses me off as it has to be different. Good luck trying to get the cables to convert them. It was such a headache.
THANK YOU ! for making these multiple examples straight forward and easy to understand. I was looking for such a video to make sense of the limited options I have to hook up multiple RGB fans without a RGB 5v header. 👍😊

If my motherboard has 3 addressable RGB 5v headers with a maximum of 80 leds on each, would linking 3 Phanteks D30s (each have 30 leds) mean some of the LEDs wont work, if so do i need a RGB controller?
Can you connect the Corsair RGB connector (3 or 4pin) to either argb or rgb connector? When I did it seemed like it burned the LED. Might have just been bad luck and a older fan.
so it is totally okay if i daisy chain 3 fans into the one argb 5v connector on my mobo? and it is also okay to daisy chain 3 fans into the one power connector on my mobo? i saw in some vids people say not more than 2 fans into a single SYS_FAN power connector
3 fans is is typically ok but because of the low voltage of the 3 pin header, it may not provide sufficient power to fans therefore damaging it and the motherboard due to too much stress. To be safe getting a 5volt 3 pin splitter is a better option and more recommended instead of daisy chaining 3 fans to one header.
thank you for showing me thermalrights rgb and fan hub, im absolutely going to get one, that makes it sound so simple. are there any drawbacks to using that fan hub? or is it pretty much perfect?
I don't know why you need to connect the sata power when you have the 5v motherboard connected ? sata power connecter is only I would think if you don't have a 5v from your motherboard ? or just want to use a remote instead ? I'm confused ?
Can someone explain why my hub which came with the PC case does not deliver enough power to light the fans up? I did not add anything else to it, it just worked on the first start and the next one they were so low in brightness that I thought they were off. I ended up linking them together to the available RGB slots on the motherboard.
The goal: have less cables on the PC Reality: a lot of new proprietary cables and hubs I have a question, can I connect Lian Li AL140mm V2 in the same hub as AL 120mm V2? Or I have to buy another hub just for the 140mm V2?
Hello! I'm installing A-RGB fans for the 1st time and I wanted to make sure that I understood it properly, because I'm a bit confused. Do I need to connect the fans after daisy-chaining them (power + rgb) into the 3 pin (aka ADDR_LED pin) on the motherboard, as well as to the CHA_FAN pin? Or I can only daisy-chain them through the 3-pin and just plug the end to the 5V ADDR_LED pin on the motherboard and they will run perfectly. Thanks in advance!
Hi, I have a 4 case fan with hub (MSI MAG PANO) and I have another 6 fans also with hub (INPLAY). I have troubles controlling the RGB they are not sync, the one on case fan. Can you help me out? Thank you!

Hello i want to ask how to connect 3 reverse sl inf fans to a sl ing aio fan hub without buying any other cable or other hub im building a pc with a lian li ga ii trinity 360 sl inf and 3 reverse infinity fans and in my contry its impossible to get a single sl inf fan hub or cables from lian li
So, I don't believe my motherboard has any 3-pin RGB headers, but that's what my Montech fans need. If I were to plug everything into the hub and daisy chain the RGB connectors without plugging any RGB connectors to the motherboard, won't the fan hub still light up the fans?
Ive got an antec ax61 case with 4 built in rgb fans pre daisy chained but the power cord seems to be a sata cable and I cant figure out how to plug that into the psu (red dragon 80+ gold 850 watt rgb. Any idea how this works? Its my 1st pc build. Thanks
@@TheProvokedPrawn thank you ps any idea when doing so why I can only control my fan speed on the rad fans and not each set of LL120 fans that are all connected to my commander node, that's what was frustrating me and making me think I might have to connect via motherboard direct because they all go at one speed.
hi, can the "Thermalright fan and ARGB hub" work with fans that has not RGB? so only plugging the power into thermalright hub without the RGB? also, do I plug the CPU fan into it ? and plugging the hub into SYS_Fan? or it is separated into CPU_Fan? thanks
Thanks for the good information on the various fans. I recently built my first gaming PC but used older components like an Arock Z87 Intel 4th gen MB that has no ARGB, and installed it into a new Gamdias Talos case that came with 4 ARGB fans. A $25 SATA powered PWM ARGB fan hub with remote solved my problem. It serves 9 fan PWR and ARGB connections.The fan hub has lighting as well and has a magnet base. I can control the fans speed and lighting with the PC case button or the remote My next build will have a bit newer Asrock Z390 Phantom that does have the RGB header.
Im still confused in the nxzt fans. I have a h9 flow nxzt case that comes with 4 fans and planning on making a total of 9 maybe 10. You say to only plug them into the nxzt motherboard. I have a ROG b650 motherboard with the 5v 3 pins so the nxzt fans wont connect to it. But what if i buy the nxzt controller? Will the controller then have the adapter or wire that comes with it to connect to a NON NXZT motherboard (ROG B650)?
Regarding the PWM fan controller, when in the BIOS, does it show as just one fan being connected so essentially it repeats the signal of the first fan to them all?
I have the H6 Flow RGB ver and im not really planning on buying a fan hub I’m wondering could i just plug the NZXT fans into one ARGB header with a splitter or would that not work?
Hello, I recently found your channel, I don't speak English very well but I try, I tell you that I'm in a mess with the issue of fans, I'm currently building a PC, the case is a Lianli 011 Vision, I bought a Kraken liquid cooling elite RGB 360 and 6 CORSAIR iCUE AR120 RGB fans, the question is that I feel that I will not be able to connect them and synchronize everything, I hardly know about the subject but I have seen your videos that show a lot of cables, could you give me a recommendation so I can do it easier?

Have you ever tested saharagaming fans? Like the pirate eye fans, you have the option of a pcb card or their controller, and I am considering using them for my first build :)
First time building a PC in the NZXT 9 Elite. Lesson learned. Go all one system fans with a controler. Couldn't figure out what to use to convert othee fans (AIO) fans with RGB from 3 to 4 pin that would fit into the NZXT controler 😢.
I went out and bought 1 of the fan and argb hubs only to find that the rgb cables coming from the fans are also 4 pin like the power supply cables. I have the the Corsair AR120 kit and it comes with 1-3 splitter but the splitter has 1 female 3 pin end then the 3 splits are numbered 1 - male 3 pin 2 - male 4 pin 3 - male 4 pin, so as you can tell I’m mega confused as to how this can all be connected together when none of fans use 3 pin anything 🙈

In my H500M i have my CM Mobius ARGB fans installed via the small CM A1 Controller that came with my PL360 Flux 30th AE AiO and set it up via the MasterPlus software, which is quite good and the small and rather cheap controller is much more capable than my X570Aorus Pro and Gigabytes Fusion RGB Software, which is just bad. That little thing has only 3 ARGB connectors, but each of them can control up to 80LED's. The Mobius Fans also come with RGB daisychaining, so that makes also a little easier. I have set em up like that: Front: 3x140mm Mobius ARGB at Slot 1 (with a 1 to 5 way CM ARGB Splitter as the cables werent long enuff to reach the controller) Top: AiO 3x120mm Mobius ARGB and the 2Zone Pump(symbol and outer ring) at Slot 2 Rear: 1x140mm Mobius ARGB at Slot 3 The Controller and the Software can still detect and control every single one device and even every single LED, despite splitters and daisy chaining, while the PWM Fan control is coming from the Motherboard and gets splitted via the one of the AiO and a seperate 3way splitter for the front fans, so i have only 3 fan setups to control.

In that case you can use a controller (in your case Corsair maybe best). The Corsair ones will usually take power off the PSU and then connect to an internal USB header for control instead of a MB RGB header.

Thank you for answering ❤ actually the G Pro X 2 is out of my budget would you recommend any of my options or others in their price range
@@laithorabi9571 the last three on your list are great imo. You can see my reviews of them in here - Headset reviews: th-cam.com/play/PLlRFhsGPgCG8HM1vU8x0JMDgkAhUvaiyc.html
@@TheProvokedPrawn Thank you ❤️ I actually watched the epos and corsair review so only arctis pro's left to check but overall how would you rate them ie. 1st, 2nd, 3rd?
@@laithorabi9571 can you afford the more recent SteelSeries headsets? The Nova 7 for example are great. Otherwise probably 7, 9, 8 in order of preference. Assuming you're on PC
In my H500M i have my CM Mobius ARGB fans installed via the small CM A1 Controller that came with my PL360 Flux 30th AE AiO and set it up via the MasterPlus software,
which is quite good and the small and rather cheap controller is much more capable than my X570Aorus Pro and Gigabytes Fusion RGB Software, which is just bad.
That little thing has only 3 ARGB connectors, but each of them can control up to 80LED's.
The Mobius Fans also come with RGB daisychaining, so that makes also a little easier.
I have set em up like that:
Front: 3x140mm Mobius ARGB at Slot 1 (with a 1 to 5 way CM ARGB Splitter as the cables werent long enuff to reach the controller)
Top: AiO 3x120mm Mobius ARGB and the 2Zone Pump(symbol and outer ring) at Slot 2
Rear: 1x140mm Mobius ARGB at Slot 3
The Controller and the Software can still detect and control every single one device and even every single LED, despite splitters and daisy chaining,
while the PWM Fan control is coming from the Motherboard and gets splitted via the one of the AiO and a seperate 3way splitter for the front fans, so i have only 3 fan setups to control.
Do you maybe now witch motherboard he used? Not te nzxt but the other one!

You mean the one at 15:12 ? Thats an ASUS Strix Z790-A Gaming Wifi D4.
18:27 looks a Gigabyte X670 Gaming X AX (V1) there is also the newer V2
might have bent my hub pins 4 times but we got where we wanted lol
Thanks, I hate RGB even more, but clients want Im I right?
I’m sick to the back teeth of Lian Li fans. I have infinity fans, strimmer v2 and 3 x LCD reverse blade fans in my build. What I didn’t realise is that I would need “3” separate Lian Li controllers to find space for in a Phanteks NV5 case!!! It’s utterly ridiculous and put me off using them in future. Great video Mr Shellfish 🦐
That is one downside. They need a universal controller for sure.
🚀Building my first gaming rig and content creation powerhouse! with i7 14700 on MSI Z90 board, took me a while to work out the Rainbow rgb.
Have you connected everything correctly
@@TheProvokedPrawn I found the rainbow connectors and CPU cooler is good.
I found a video and the case fan need powering by the data cable, so al good now thanks 😀👍

U know what's still massive the low taper fade
What
my fans have 3 pins what do i do
You can still connect them to the motherboard as shown.
Lian Li kills this. They have it down pat
As long as you don't mix and match fans
its worth mentioning that all corsair stuff is ARGB
Lìfesaver thank you so much
Glad it helped
Man my b350 doesn't have RGB connectors lol
In that case you can use a controller (in your case Corsair maybe best). The Corsair ones will usually take power off the PSU and then connect to an internal USB header for control instead of a MB RGB header.
Lian li is W for me.
Does not help at all video sucks.
Thanks.
