Krokarn Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 No, you cant control those fans with a Node PRO, Node Core or a Commander PRO. Only motherboards with 12 RGB header. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin99 Posted June 3, 2020 Author Share Posted June 3, 2020 Ok, As I'm a ET (Electronics Tech) were can I get a print out of that splitter cable and steal 12v or 5v volts from somewhere (Sata Plug). The colors won't change but they will be lit up. Corsair should of given me more info up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevBiker Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 It's a standard analog 12V 5050 Analog RGB connector. I'm not sure what more information you need, especially if you're an electronics tech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin99 Posted June 4, 2020 Author Share Posted June 4, 2020 analog 12V 5050 Analog RGB connector |---------- Pin 1 Black - as marked on connector 12 Volts |---------- Pin 2 Green - Ground green return |---------- Pin 3 Red - Ground Red return |---------- Pin 3 Blue - Ground Blue return So if I put 12 volts to pin1 and ground each of the other three the indicated color will light Unfortunately found a a website that had a data sheet, and it shows pin 1 5volts pin 2 as data pin 3 clock and pin 4 as ground. !!!!!! One side of that "Analog RGB connector" goes to the lights what does the other end connect to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merlin99 Posted June 5, 2020 Author Share Posted June 5, 2020 If you have a motherboard and it does not have a 12v RGB Header you can get the primary colors (Static) by the following procedure Order, get, a RGB ext cable and plug it into the 4 pin RGB cable from the fans cut off the connector on the other end. OR, a better way to go is use the male to male plug that come with the cable. Get a SATA power cable or the older Molex cable that you used to power your drives/DVD etc. Connect (solder) 12 volts (The yellow wire on your power cable) to the RGB cable's plug with the arrow ( IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS STOP HERE AND FIND A TECH). Then if you ground (black power cable wire) any of the RGB cable's Red, Green and Blue wires you will get that color. Grounding different combo of the RGB wires will give a bunch of different colors. $3.99 for the RGB ext Cable and I had the power cable in my junk drawer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
