Dick Montage Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Hi, just built a new system and I've never dealt with RGB before, let alone addressable RGB... So the system has 4 ARGB fans, and they can all daisy-chain to one ARGB header on the motherboard, so that's what I've done. As such, they all perform the same pattern as the same time. If I were to plug them individually into the different ARGB headers, would I be able to control each individually and get more impressive effects? And if so - I have only 3 ARGB headers, but 4 fans - is there something like a hub that could split them without simply daisy chaining, so each fan is independently addressable? Thank you!

Mindovermaster Global Moderator Posted July 2, 2023 Global Moderator Share Posted July 2, 2023 What case do you have? Some include a hub where you can attach several fans to it. Like so: It does not let you control every fan, but you can configure the entire group. IMO, RGB looks a little weird when each fan is a different color. Look at our "Show us your PC" thread on here. That will give you an idea.

That will give you an idea. Yeah, mine doesn't - but I assume I can buy such a thing. From what I understand, you can apply effects that make use of each fan individually to create an overall pattern.

goretsky Supervisor Posted July 3, 2023 Supervisor Share Posted July 3, 2023 Hello, First off, let me qualify this by saying I don't use any ARGB peripherals. The few things I have with RGB on them like video cards are performing in whatever mode they shipped with. That said, I wonder if it would be possible to install multiple ARGB hubs, and then apply the lighting effects you want on a per-hub basis. You would probably want to check with the respective fan and hub manufacturers to see if this is possible, though, before making any investment.
