How to link a 5V 3-pin connector to a motherboard that lacks a 5V 3-pin?
I recently purchased the EZDIY-FAB ARGB Fans. The product uses a 5V 3 Pin connector, but my motherboard lacks a 5V 3 Pin header. How can I manage the ARGB settings through software?
Question 1) Is there a 5V 3Pin to USB adapter available?
Question 2) Can I link the fans to a Cooler Master ARGB controller via USB, which connects to the motherboard? So would this setup—EZDIY fans (6 pin connector) → EZDIY controller (5V 3 Pin connector) → Cooler Master controller (USB) → motherboard—function correctly?
Welcome to the forums, newcomer! Kindly specify the make and model of your motherboard and the ARGB devices you're working with. Coolermaster offers various ARGB controllers, both current and retired; which one do you have? It appears they provided a diagram for connecting fans on that hub, but without the ARGB link on the board, you depend on the hub or remote to control fan colors.
Thank you for your message. Your motherboard model is DELL 0T2HR0, which is the standard board inside a Dell XPX 8930. It lacks a USB 2.0 header and does not have any 5V 3-pin or 12V 4-pin connectors. You own 7 EZDIY fans, 3 Corsair RGB fans from the Corsair 5000X, and a Ventro V5 CPU cooler ARGB fan. I used a USB 3.0 to 2.0 adapter to manage the three Corsair fans, but the EZDIY controller isn't functioning well. You're looking for a way to connect the remaining seven fans to the motherboard.
