The purpose of 12V 4-pin headers is to provide a stable power connection for devices like Aura Sync, which supports both 5V 3-pin and 12V 4-pin interfaces. This isn't exclusive to Asus—it's a common standard in many electronics.

Yes, they produce adapters for this.

Are you asking about the function of the header? It seems to be important even though it’s not dead. The setup involves converting 12V to 5V, and you might need a controller for that.

the board includes 12v rgb connectors, but most components require 5v rgb pins. You might need to switch to rgb pins or purchase a hub that supports both.

You can simply use an RGB hub or controller.

You can try using the pins marked RGB, but be prepared for potential issues. If you attempt to use them, consider winding the wire carefully to avoid damage.

Now that I’m examining the connectors, it makes sense why you can’t

If the strip measures 5 volts, connecting it to a 12-volt header could cause it to overheat or fail.
