rootmaster Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Im just wondering if the CORSAIR Link RGB LED Lighting Kit will work if i plug them directly into my motherboard RGB header. CORSAIR Link RGB LED Lighting Kit MSI Carbon x370 Pro https://imgur.com/a/5BwTHfS I tried looking for the specs of the strips but couldnt find them anywhere. Thanks in advance.

DevBiker Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 No, they won't. It looks like that motherboard has 12V Analog RGB only. Some of the MSI boards have a 5V Digital/Addressable RGB connector that would work with an adapter or a J-CORSAIR header that would work. That board doesn't have those, however. As for the specs ... they are 5V Addressable RGB that uses the WS-2812B protocol for control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure ive purchased the wrong one but just to double check, would they work on my commander pro ? Or do i need to buy something else for them to work ? Sorry for the 101, just started getting into RGB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevBiker Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Yeah ... those are the old strips. They only work with the Commander Mini. And I'm not 100% sure of their specs ... the ones that I mentioned are the newer strips (that come in 4 packs). And make sure to check out the RGB FAQ at http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=173880. That'll help you get started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
