Hello, welcome! I understand you're looking to enhance your Tomahawk Max case with RGB fans and strips. It sounds like you're trying to improve visibility inside the case, especially since it's quite dark otherwise. I can help guide you through the process and suggest compatible options. Just let me know what kind of fans or strips you're considering, and I'll point you in the right direction!

I faced the same issue—it looks like our mobo only supports 4-pin RGB fans (12V), while most affordable options have 3-pin connectors. I’m thinking about using the budget models with a remote, which won’t let me control them via the motherboard, but I don’t want to waste more than $80 on a Corsair setup that feels overpriced.

They suggest these types of fans may not be effective.

You cannot connect ARGB fans to a device with an RGB header; you'd need a splitter to convert RGB to ARGB.

With the splitter, it should function well with mystic light.

I can't be sure. Splitter only lets you connect fans with an RGB support on the board. It might seem convenient, but it could cost around 20–30 dollars for the splitter itself. The aRGB strip is also pricey, so I wouldn't invest in it unless necessary. Sticking to RGB seems safer.
