Still waffling if I should use that or Fusion. I did buy the Corsair Lighting Pro, though haven't opened it up yet. A few of the modes seem to overlap on the fans, while they could be completely different on a matrix: Looking at Gigabyte's RGB Fusion site, it seems that the Digital headers are more geared for a digital RGB matrix, than actual strips or fans. Link does give you more control as you can different modes for different strips/fans. Fusion does have a lot more modes and allows you to control LED headers, RAM, and other compatible devices, it still doesn't know what is plugged into its headers. Gigabyte's Fusion does have a lot more modes, though the software views the serial connected strips inside the fans as one long 36 LED strip. I haven't used Link, but I did watch Corsair's video on it and it showed only about 6 different modes, which I think included static and temperature, both of which Fusion also controls. I would avoid plugging that one in as it could damage the motherboard. In other words if you see a slot in the plastic connector and a pin above/below it, then that is the power. The 5v is easily distinguished as it has a key hole above/below it. The RGB Fan Hubs input has 5v,Data,Ground. I then plugged the other end into the RGB Fan Hub's Data and Ground. Again make sure to leave this open or you could possibly damage your LEDs. I then plugged one side into my motherboard's Digital Out and Ground connector, leaving the 5v/12v open. I tore out some old case 2pin header connectors from an old case and spliced them together with solder. I only used the Ground and the Digital Out pins. In my case I did not use the Voltage pin and left it open. It also has a jumper for the power (5v/12v). My motherboard has GDV Digital header (Ground, Digital Out, Voltage). The RGB Fan Hub has a 3pin keyed input that can be used to plug in the included controller or a Lighting Node Pro. I have the RGB Hub powered via the attached 5v SATA power. I have all 3 HD-120 fans plugged into the HD-120 RGB Fan Hub.
It is also a lot more fool or "uhoh" proof as every connector is keyed. It even syncs up with the remote so when you press play the lights turn off and pause turns them on, etc.Īnyway my Z370 Gaming 7 motherboard comes with 4 RGB headers on 3 channels:ĭigital Channel 1: 1x 3pin 5v/12v (jumperable)ĭigital Channel 2: 1x 3pin 5v/12v (jumperable)įirst off, you can very easily damage your equipment if you do this wrong!!! I would highly advise most people to just buy the lighting node Pro, I am even considering it due to more specialized control that Link gives you as well as you get some digital RGB strips that have magnets to make life easier. I even wired up my home theater with RGB in the crown molding. I have been bitten by the RGB bug and like lighting a little too much.
