Connectors for USB 2.0 devices
Connectors for USB 2.0 devices
Hi everyone, I just added three Cirsair SP 120 RGB Pro fans and am really happy with them. But I hit a small problem: each fan comes with its own "CORE" controller, which supports up to six RGB fans. That’s fine, but it needs a 9-pin USB 2.0 header. I only have one on my board, and it’s currently used by my H150i AIO cooler. It’s a dilemma—either manage the RGB/monitoring for the H150i or adjust the colors of the new fans. Do you have any options to split a USB 2.0 header or a workaround to connect two devices that need one? Thanks and I hope this is the right forum!
Yup: Basic hub available at https://www.amazon.com/Micro-Connectors-...07QHQF92K/ This model also supports fan management: https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Fan-Contr...B0725HP1J2 You can merge two USB 2.0 headers into one, since the internal cable offers nine ports—one completely unused and then only four are active. Thus, four slots remain, which you can fill with connectors from the other end. Refer to the diagram for clearer understanding.
They only use half each, which means I could follow what was mentioned before and attempt to merge the two into a single connector. But I don’t have the vision for how tricky it might be. Buying a splitter would seem like the best option for me. While browsing this product on Amazon, I had to admit the one-star reviews gave me pause. They made me question whether purchasing any of them is wise, especially with worries about damaging entire systems.
when you insert a SIM card, you need the skill to adjust the pins. it’s simpler than it seems—each pin has a small indentation and the plastic casing has a matching part that clicks in. you can use a SIM extraction tool to shift that piece out and release the wire. putting them back is just a matter of pushing the pin into its hole, making sure the indented side is facing up.
After reviewing the information you provided, I found some videos that seem more achievable than I initially believed. I expected it to include soldering and intricate wiring, but it looks like it might be simpler. Thanks for your guidance—I’ll try it out tomorrow!
It's a bit of a wild scenario you're describing. The idea of connecting a cable directly to an audio header seems unusual, and it sounds like you might have accidentally pulled out a wire. If it works similarly to USB, it could be a simple fix—but if the wire broke, you'd likely need to remove and reshape all the connections. It's probably going to be shorter than expected, which would explain why it didn't reach the header.
The NZXT model functions adequately for most tasks. Yet, ASmedia devices on numerous AMD boards encounter problems with hubs.
