Mr Provoked Prawn, you're a God sent, I needed this exact video. the cherry on top is that the case you're using plus the motherboard you used in the video are the exact same ones I picked for my build. I genuinely think this video was made for my sake.
Almost like you knew i was researching this topic. I'm about to order 7 Arctic ARGB fans, and was looking for a hub that could do both the fans and ARGB. Going to order the Thermalright hub aswell. Thank you Mr Prawn
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. 👍😊

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.

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?
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 🙈
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 😢.
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.
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!
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? The most recommended process and objects to do it in the best way? Since I don't know what to buy and what might help me, I would really appreciate it!
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?
That fan hub had a red plug that says cpu fan, are you actually suppose to plug your cpu fan into that slot or the one on the motherboard? My cable isn't that long lol
Are the actual NZXT RGB hubs proprietary? Planning on getting F120 and F140 fans for my build but my motherboard is from ASUS. Will i be able to use NZXT's fan controllers?
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?
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
