Hi, I noticed the RGB fans on her mini air are using a 5V 3-pin setup, but her motherboard only has 12V 4-pin connectors. That’s why they aren’t working. Can you find a way to adapt the fans so they fit her board? Thanks!

You likely require an Argb controller linked to a USB header (provided you have one).

I considered a similar idea, but after some Amazon and Google searches I couldn’t locate anything. Do you have any links you think might help? (Looking for affordable options.)

I once owned one and am trying to locate it now, but it was scarce back then, which could mean it might be a long shot.

Reviewed the setup and it seems to be a 4-pin controller instead of a 3-pin. Note: I can't see it clearly. Edited April 15, 2023 by McLovinTM
