Hi, I see the issue you're facing with the motherboard specs. Are there any reliable options with several 5V headers that won't cost too much?

am4? It's worth considering an LED controller instead. 5v ARGB capability is a more advanced feature. The most affordable board I've located with ARGB support is this one: https://au.pcpartpicker.com/product/svdx...pro-carbon, though it's not the most budget-friendly option.

Sure! The LED Controller can be managed from the motherboard. For recommendations, look into popular options like the TP4056 or various Arduino-compatible controllers.

It requires specialized software tailored for the controller. Typically, it links to a USB 2.0 front panel header on the board. This model uses pre-built effects rather than custom ones.

This would be a cheap motherboard that should support 5V RGB connection: https://au.pcpartpicker.com/product/gMQG...orus-elite Their website says: "AORUS Gaming Motherboards will support either 5v or 12v digital LED lighting strips and up to 300 LED lights." Overall this isn't the best motherboard due to its fairly poor VRM. Should handle an R5 3600 though without issues. Also, if you want the most comprehensive motherboard-based lighting system, go with Asus Aura.
