Hi guys total rgb noob, just need some help from those who can assist.

I got me a few new items that will arrive shortly. All rgb.


First item is this case which has its own controller but I think connectors for rgb aren't that many

Second item are these fans which also comes with a controller.

And the third item is this cpu cooler

I currently have this mobo which I have no issues with so don't really wanna change it. It has one rgb header which I think is used for that standard amd coolers with the led lights on them. My motherboard has red lights on it but I doubt its rgb. Think it's only red.

I'm a total noob at rbg so I just went ahead and got those items without really thinking of software to control rbgs etc.


My question is, what would be the best way to connect all of these items so they all sync.

So case has its own controller.

Fans also have a controller, will only be using 3 of these fans because the other 2 fans will be used by cooler master radiator fans. Unless I remove those fans and add the antec ones if that is possible.

Motherboard has a 4 pin rgb header but I'm not sure what purpose it serves.

I was thinking of leaving case to its own controller.
Leaving fans to their own controller.
Connecting cpu cooler fans to the case controller or the fans controller.
Finding a colour on the case that I like.
Then with the fan controller, clicking until I some how match the colour of the case that I like and just leave it there.

Unless there is a better way?

Thanks, any advice wil be appreciated.
 
1. The Antec prism fans are ARGB and have a different 3pin connector instead of normal 4pin RGB connector so you will have to use its own included controller.

2. The case RGB controller seems to be proprietary from the pics in the link. Unless there's better pics to confirm actual pin layout but I don't think you'll be able to add more stuff to it.

3. The ML240 RGB 4pin can be plugged directly into the motherboards 4pin RGB header (make sure you connect it the right way), Unless there's a way that the above case controller accepts normal 4pin RGB connectors.

In short your components don't go well together if you plan to sync it all up. My advice is to change the fans and go for the normal 4pin RGB fans. That way you can control the aio cooler and the fans leds directly from the motherboard software controls
 
To be honest, I don't think my motherboard supports a whole lot of options for rbg even with the header. I've googled and googled and checked specification of motherboard with no sign of any Asus aura features to sync rbg. The antec arbg controller can connect to this on the the motherboard but I'm not sure if mine supports the rbg features. Check pics below.

Thanks
