Many of you have been interested in our new ARGB controller, which allows you to synchronize the components of 5v 3-pin ARGB technology of your PC and control its lighting. Although some of our new tower models already have it pre-installed, you can also purchase it separately, so that your PC can enjoy the full potential of ARGB, and even if you want to upgrade your components from RGB to ARGB.
The first thing to keep in mind is the compatibility of the controller and our components, because if the fans, liquid cooling or other items we want to connect do not have the same connections as the controller, it will not be possible to synchronize them with each other. Remember that the ARGB controller is equipped with 3-pin 5v connections, while the RGB controller is 6-pin
If we are sure that all the components we want to synchronize through our ARGB controller have the necessary connections, we will start with the connection process. For your convenience, we recommend removing the side panels of your tower, as it will be easier to access all components and cables
Although in principle the controller will be wired as standard, in the video tutorial we will connect everything from scratch, in case you might need it. We know we don't need to remind you that any kind of connection and installation must be done with the tower off. We have used our model Surtur for the tutorial video, in which we will install fans Velorum, heatsink Sculptor and ARGB plate Maia, in case you are interested in this combination.
We will start by locating the sATA cable that comes with the controller and connect it to our power supply. Then we will connect the other end of the cable, of 4 pins, to the controller, this will serve to give him/her energy
We identify the fan connectors, remember that one cable will be for the ventilation and the other for the lighting. You can see the difference more clearly in the video tutorial, which identifies each type of cable separately. We connect all to the controller in sequence, this is important so that there are no problems. Of course this is valid for compatible fans, heatsinks and liquid cooling
Once we have the fan cables connected to the controller, it is time to connect the 4-pin cable, thinner, to the controller and the other end, a little thicker, from the controller to our motherboard. The connection to the motherboard will depend on the model that you have, we advise you to always consult the manual of the same, to make sure where to make the connection. In principle, the cable should be connected to SYS_FAN, CHA_FAN or CPU_FAN.
Finally, if what you want is to control the lighting from the button on the front of your tower enabled for it, we will locate the LED connector on the front and connect it to the controller as well. After following these steps, we should have all our components compatible with the controller, synchronized and working without problem, and be able to control the lighting by remote control or front button, as we want
As for components compatible with our ARGB controller, you have the following fans Velorum y Nebulus and, in addition, the specifics of some tower models updated for ARGB. Regarding liquid cooling, Atria in any of its versions is fully compatible, and you will even be able to synchronize our new heatsinks Sculptor y Centaurus X. Like extra, maia also has ARGB connection and looks great in any model of box, as you can see in the video tutorial
We hope that the video tutorial will help you if you have any doubts when making the connections and, of course, you can also download the manual of our ARGB controller to have it always at hand, at this link.
