Very important: RGB and ARGB are incompatible. An ARGB header can also be used to display advanced effects, such as the popular rainbow effect. An LED strip that has an RGB connector thus only lights up in one color at a time. Via 5V ARGB headers, the individual LEDs of the connected device can be addressed (which is why the 'A' stands for 'addressable'), via 12V RGB headers all LEDs are synchronized. Luminous components can be connected to both types, but the range of functions is different. and motherboard also has a four pin system fan header and cpu fan header.These connectors can be visually distinguished by the fact that RGB headers have four pins, while ARGB headers have only three of them. Incorrect connection may lead to the damage of the LED strip. The power pin (marked with a triangle on the plug) of the LED strip must be connected to Pin 1 (12V) of this header. LED_CPU (CPU Cooler LED Strip/RGB LED Strip Header) The header can be used to connect a CPU cooler LED strip or a standard 5050 RGB LED strip (12V/G/R/B), with maximum power rating of 2A (12V) and maximum length of 2m.Ĭonnect the CPU cooler LED strip/RGB LED strip to the header. That rgb led strip header i am talking about, i got some information from the motherboard manual. My case didn't provide proper connection guide. Your case manual will have the instructions for the connections.

For example corsair connects using a USB header on MB. If the case has RGB controller, the manual will tell you how to connect to your Motherboard.
