Mobos can come with either of two very different types of lighting headers. To clarify, I'm not overly concerned about controlling the LED's (although it is a plus), I want to be able to control the fan speed to adjust for temperature. Since the difference in price of this case with fans VS without is only $10, I would prefer to be able to use these fans rather than having to buy a new set (my old pc has two that work, but 5 is better than two lol).Īs for using the ASRock B450M/AC R2.0, you're saying that it will control the LED's on the fan, but not the fan itself? I'm still a little confused on that I guess, but if that's the case, the computer case itself has a button to change the LED's without having to be plugged into the mobo anyway, so I'd still be better off with the PRO4. Would a new fan controller work? I haven't been able to find much information on the fans used in that case so I'm having trouble determining compatibility for them and don't know where to start looking as far as a new controller goes.

I was afraid of that.įrom what I can tell, there doesn't seem to be an adapter, but I may be wrong (I hope I am anyway). Ok, so it won't work with this motherboard (well, the fans should still work, I just won't be able to control them).

HELP, I'm new to computer building stuff and I haven't been able to find much info on this! Can this fan controller work with this mobo? Will I need an adapter (is there an adapter)? Will I have to get a new fan controller or will I have to replace all the fans AND get a new fan controller? Alternatively, I could go with the ASRock B450M/AC R2.0 which has a 3pin connector but it doesn't say if it's 5V or 12V (I'm assuming 5V?). Needless to say, I am very confused by all this. The motherboard I'm looking at is the ASRock B450M PRO4 which says: 'CPU_FAN2/WP, CHA_FAN1/WP, CHA_FAN2/WP and CHA_FAN3/WP can auto detect if 3-pin or 4-pin fan is in use' and 'Supports in total up to 5V/3A, 15W LED Strip' (IDK if the 5V for LED is helpful at all?). ( Forbidden connect with 12V 4PIN header).' It comes with five fans and a fan controller but all the info I can find on that is this: 'Equipped with Musetex fan control board, please connect 5V 3PIN motherboard interface to control ARGB fan.

I'm working on my first build (major upgrade of first entry level desktop from 2014, basically a complete rebuild) and I've come across a problem with the case that I want (MUSTEX MK7-GM5).
