Mr Provoked Prawn, you're a God sent, I needed this exact video. the cherry on top is that the case you're using plus the motherboard you used in the video are the exact same ones I picked for my build. I genuinely think this video was made for my sake.
-
Couldn't have come at a better time! As always, your videos are awesome. Thank you Mr. Prawn
-
THANK YOU ! for making these multiple examples straight forward and easy to understand. I was looking for such a video to make sense of the limited options I have to hook up multiple RGB fans without a RGB 5v header. 👍😊

Almost like you knew i was researching this topic. I'm about to order 7 Arctic ARGB fans, and was looking for a hub that could do both the fans and ARGB. Going to order the Thermalright hub aswell. Thank you Mr Prawn

I would thoroughly appreciate it if you could make a video on how to properly set up a AM5 NZXT motherboard, the bios update, the EXPO and other Advance setting needed after building the PC.!

Really helpful video, thank you.

Do you know how compatible the new Lian Li TL fans are with the Kraken Elite AIO? Kinda want CAM to control my AIO fans, but it doesn't seem as straight forward as with the SL/AL fans. Just wondering if you've gotten around to test this yet?
-
Regarding the PWM fan controller, when in the BIOS, does it show as just one fan being connected so essentially it repeats the signal of the first fan to them all?

Ive got an antec ax61 case with 4 built in rgb fans pre daisy chained but the power cord seems to be a sata cable and I cant figure out how to plug that into the psu (red dragon 80+ gold 850 watt rgb. Any idea how this works? Its my 1st pc build. Thanks

Hello! I'm installing A-RGB fans for the 1st time and I wanted to make sure that I understood it properly, because I'm a bit confused. Do I need to connect the fans after daisy-chaining them (power + rgb) into the 3 pin (aka ADDR_LED pin) on the motherboard, as well as to the CHA_FAN pin? Or I can only daisy-chain them through the 3-pin and just plug the end to the 5V ADDR_LED pin on the motherboard and they will run perfectly. Thanks in advance!
