Turns out that the fans were individual packs, standard RGB 4 pin 12v, each with a PWM fan power lead and a 4 pin RGB lead, which is fine as I wasn't bothered about a controller since the motherboard has two 4 pin RGB headers anyway.Įach female connector has an arrow which you should match up with the 12v pin on the motherboard since 4 pin connectors can go in the wrong way, even though there's no danger if you do that apparently. My old CM fans are getting noisy now after more than five years, but they've served me Jeswin I'll report back later. Besides, it's far too complicated having stuff sent here, if it even arrives and doesn't get stolen.Īll of the reviews for PC Cooler RGB fans are top, so I'm keen to get them up and running. It's quite a trip on the motorcycle to fetch them, which is part of the fun and much better than having to wait 60 days or longer if they were imported. I don't mind either way because I'll be using static colours and the price of around $44 is pretty good. The seller I'm buying from says it's a four-pack, but I can't be sure if it's ARGB or standard. I also plan to use Aura Sync, so Jeswin I'll let you know how I get on tomorrow since PC Cooler say that the fans are Aura compatible. I'm assuming it's perfectly fine to run the three fans through a splitter and then connect that to the mobo header.Īnyway, what I have learned today is that it's not a good idea to connect ARGB (5v) to a standard RGB (12v) header, for obvious reasons. I needed to know whether the kit was ARGB (5v) or standard RGB (12v), because of the voltage differences and it seems that it's the latter, which is fine because I prefer static colours.Īs far as I've gathered today, each fan has two cables - one is a 4 pin 12v RGB which I can connect to the mobo 12v RGB header and the other is a standard 4 pin PWM which I can connect to one of the mobo fan headers. I'm buying a 3 fan PC Cooler Corona RGB kit new, but since the people know less about RGB than I do (which isn't saying very much), they couldn't really answer many questions. Not wishing to hijack this thread, but I'm about to do the same tomorrow, by replacing my non-RGB fans in a CM Storm Trooper with the Crosshair Hero VII mobo.
