Hi guys,

my mobo has 2 rgb headers with 4 pins. But my led stip from asus has 3 pin connect. So how can I connect strips to mobo? I have 4 strips.

Use the addressable extension cable you should have got with your motherboard accessories.

Then connect it to the addressable LED strip and then to addressable RGB header (ADD_HEADER) Note: Maximum 60 LEDs (5 volts).

Do not connect it to the 4-pin RGB header (RGB_Header1) Note: Maximum length 2 meters (12 volts).

If you plug those ROG addressable LED strips in to the 4-pin RGB header they will shine like the sun for a nanosecond and might burst into flames.

Ok but I have 4 strips. Two for left side a two for right side of the chasis. So ADD_HEADER is used now by 2 strips. So I need one more header to connect 2 strips on the right side. Maybe there is adapter?

Coolermaster has an Y adapter that's compatible with aura sync and split's 1 header into 3

I don't understand why there is no 4 pin ASUS LED strip on market? Why I have 2 useless 4 PIN RGB headers and only one usable 3 PIN ADD Header?
