Thank you so much for this! You've just solved my problem in a clear and concise way. I've been banging my head against a wall trying to figure this out
Nice video! I think you might be one of the only people I could find that actually showed how to install it instead of just talking about it for 15 minutes. Thank you!
finally ... a vid on how to do this ...thank u so much i cant believe no one has a vid .. (least i havent found one ) u made it super easy to understand .. thanks again
Absolutely agree with Marcos. Your video was the most user friendly and thorough I've seen on this product. Confident now that I won't fry any 5v fans on my 12v rgb headers. Thanks and good luck on your future videos!
I thought I was going to have to live with that friggin controller for my fans - cycling between only a couple of light modes while my ram, mobo and gpu have all the fun. Thanks for highlighting how to hook this up. Now, i'll be able to "like" my fans as well.
Building a new PC after 4 years and going back to this video again. Very informative. Not to mention we have the same mobo (which I am reusing) so I'm in luck. 😁
Thanks for doing this video. I'm installing this hub for RGB needs with Deepcool cf120 fans and the Deepcool matrexx 55 case. I wasn't sure of wiring orientation but this fixed that.
this device must be one of the most useful things ever made, nice video, you have my exact same problem 3 pins fans with 4 pins motherboard and this device seems to solve this problem, keep the good work !
thanks for this video. i watched a sea, not se, an ocean of videos that shows only basic connection 3pin to 4pin mobo. and that was it. i needed more and i saw it here. thankis!
6:55 I’m very confused on the wording. I only have 12v 4 pins. If I plug in a GPU RGB bracket into that 5v 3pin slot, won’t it fry because you said you converted 5v to 12v? I’m trying to do it the other way but I’m just so confused on what people say.
FOR ASROCK USERS In general Asrock MB are not supported, but in my case (BeQuiet 500DX) LEDs were blinking, after using this device I can set up static colors, only effects like breathing are not working properly. So if you face a problem with blinking leds - this may fix it.
Haha, thanks! I don't know how I didnt end up with a major Southern accent. I grew up in the Dirty South, so I still say ya'll and certain southern things.
I finally found this goddamn thing, been looking for a solution for a year, will update once it gets delivered. Great video by the way, very informative and throughout.
so with the deepcool converter you can use argb effect trough software without having argb header in the mobo ? I am correct? I'm asking cause at the end I could not appreciate the argb effects well
THANKYOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just got a LanCool 2 Mesh and the fans are 3pin but the Header on my STRIX MoBo is 4 pin exactly like yours! Taylor made tutorial and you didnt even know it! ^_^
At around 8:50 - Whats that song called in the background? Thats a song from the Mobile Game called "Pickle Pete" . Now I am just wondering if it was royalty free music or something?
I am using this device since I had to replace my motherboard and didn't realize it doesn't have a 3 pin header. I don't really mind losing the functionality of changing individual colors as I always left it on blue before having to change mobo's. My problem is, I can't use any of the effects now like breathing, color cycle or any that have movement because when I set it to that it just flashes instead of smoothly transitioning. It also will not sync with my ram. I'm using mystic light 3. Do you have any idea if there is a remedy to this?
Guys, if you have multiple ARGB components (5v3pins) like me (I have ARGB Fans, and M.2 Heatsink), since the converter only converts 1 5v3pin connector, you can buy an ARGB hub, then connect the hub to the converter, it worked for me.
Thanks, I have an Asus Mobo from 2020, giving my system to my daughter, she wants lighting. I have two 12vRGB connectors (Asus Aura) on the mobo, and wasn't sure how this works with the new ARGB fans. this is great, that deep cool converter doesn't look to be available anymore but there are others I can use, thanks.
I like your video, it's very helpful. But is there a product similar to deepcool? I've searched the online shop in my country but all the shops are empty Thanks
@@SevenStoneStudio It will work with aura sync if your components are compactible. Just that you won't get rainbow effect. It will be single color at a time. I changed my Motherboard with 3pin argb connector. Thats the best solution to use argb fans.
@@elianfernandes9390 that's what i think for RGB fans need to spend.. because now only upgraded my cpu.. anyway can you tell me in asus which board have 3pin argb ?
great video, i got a addressable rgb converter that came with my pc but i cant control it via asus arua, think this should solve the issue? (fans that i installed are compatible with aura)
I found this converter but was confused what its use would be with only one 5V connector (I currently have 5 cables that need connecting). Didn't think of the fact that splitter cables exist :'D thanks!
Thank you for this video I am gonna try to get this converter soon and was scared it may be the wrong thing but I think it’ll be the correct thing. Hopefully I can make my fans work otherwise I bought 6 rgb fans that will be regular
Thanks for the vid. The thing is I have a ARGB hub, can I directly plug to the converter or should I use splitter cable instead? Hope to here from you soon.
I have also been wondering this same question. Unfortunately, I don't have one to test this out. Does anyone know if this will work with an ARGB hub? Because although you gain a lot of functionality and effects with this method, it's not addressable.
This video really helped me. Thanks a lot brother. Also please tell me how many argb fans can we connect through with this converter. (Like 3-4 case fans ARGB & 2-3 ARGB AIO FANS?)
Can I use this on my b450 mortar max and sync montech air 100 argb. Currently my case performs only the install argb function 🤔 And one more thing how many fans can I connect through this device, what I've if I wanna connect 5 or 6 fans 😐
6:20 The 6-pin cable you talk about may be confusing for newbs, better just to show hooking up a sata female IMHO. Those fans are using the incorrect 4-pin RGB header, should be using the 2-space-1 ARGB header, possible to fry those 5v LEDS for a first time builder. I should know, had some 4-pin header ARGBs and fried them by accident 🤣 Nice video, didn't know about the magnetic feature until your vid! Keep up the great work!
Thank you clarifying Techspin! Hooking up a sata female is another good way. You're right. There are definitely some dangers of frying your fans if you hook up the wrong cables. There are a lot of people asking questions about specific components and builds for this converter... but I can only speak from experience with what I have shown here in the video. So, I SINCERELY appreciate any bit of extra info and insight like this that could help people out.
I’m buying lian li unifan to have nice ARGB, can I use the deepco converter to use Lian li’s software on the fans? Edit: can I use non deepcool fans for method number 2?
hi want to get your advise on this product, can my mobo asus m5a99x evo r2.0 set up this rgb fan? as i found no 12v rgb pin on my mobo. only 4pin for fan and cpu fan? hope to hear from u.thanks
Will this work with Lian Li SL fans? I feel like I read or heard somewhere that the Lian Li rgb doesn't work unless you use the controller it came with.
hey so i bought the lian li 120 mm fans and my mobo doesnt have a 5v connector would this work with the lian li controller ? if i plug it in from the controller to this converter and still use the L connect software from Lian Li ?
Wait, so i can sync my argb fans lets say with rgb fusión by gigabyte to mi 4 pin 12 v motherboard header with the deep cool thingy? I thought that you turned argb to common rgb when doing so
Can I connect a hub to this? Like the dr12 pro's rgb hub? It has a 3pin that is supposed to go to the motherboard but mine doesn't have it. My mobo only has 4 pin rgb header.
Out of all the videos on this RGB converter... yours is BY FAR the best. Thank you, kind sir!
Thanks Marcos. Glad it helped!
i find this is also the best video about this converter, all of the other just confused me more lol
This is no lie. Finally someone that knows how to make content 😂
2 years after, still a relevant tutorial and so easy to understand. Thanks for the content, bro. Cheers!

Question buddy, my new case came with 6 RGB Fans and include a RGB Hub, but my Mobo dont have the RGB Headers what Control Converter do i need?
Me too, but i check my mobo spec it does have 4 pin RGB that didn't use. So I'm gonna try this.

Did it work for you?
@@RobloxRandomMadness It did, color changes are a bit limited, but you can control it through software
@@Tumathy Which software did you use? The fans dont seem to light up when I dont use the controller

Hi, in minute 6:30 you connect the 6pin power cable to PSU. What if my PSU doesnt have that conector?
Thanks this was life saving.
Gonna try this fix for a Arctic AIO lighting setup that didn't work with the MB 3 pin connector. Thanks for the videol

How many fans can this convertor power? I’m currently going to install 7 fans. I have a MSI MEG Z490 GODLIKE - Motherboard.
Can i change the speed of the fans with the second method?
At around 8:50 - Whats that song called in the background? Thats a song from the Mobile Game called "Pickle Pete" . Now I am just wondering if it was royalty free music or something?

Very great review!
Thanks. I hope this helps!
Really neat video.
can i use this with a fan hub. like run the 5v rgb header but still plug in the fan header right into the motherboard?
Did it work?
I have this too. But drawbacks is that your Add-RGB fans are also converted to RGB fans. I.e Single colour at a time. So rainbow effect won't work.
aura sync is working or not? any other drawback bro

great review!
at 7.08 you connect the 3 pin splitter to the top (fan & ledstrip 5 volt) of the converter or do you connect connector to the motherboard header?

Do you have a link to the 3 pin rgb splitter cable you used?
It came with the PC Cooler fans.
So what were the 12 volt rgb headers initially used for? there are millions of motherboards that have them but case fans don't connect to them
I wonder if is necessary to connect the pci e to psu if only using one fan. I would think is possible. But maybe you can answer my question. Thank you
How many fans could i daisy-chain to this? Is it better to use 2 converters for 6 fans or is 1 enough for all 6?
How many fans can you daisy from this on one header ? Can you run this to a hub etc. thanks
Can I use this on my b450 mortar max and sync montech air 100 argb. Currently my case performs only the install argb function 🤔

Can you get just the RGB effects(not ARGB effects) from ARGB fans using this convertor?
i think so
I have an Aorus anti-sag bracket and I can't light it so I ordered this converter for like 8 dollars. Hope it would work once it arrives.
If I’m connecting 8 fans would I need 2 of these converters or can I connect the fans to a rgb hub then connect the hub to the converter.
