RGB is only necessary if you want your system to run faster(R), run efficiently(G), and run cooler(B). Downsides to RGB fans is that they will make you and your PC look even more tacky than a ricer.
Do I need RGB hub for fans?
No. You just need to connect the lighting node to a USB header on your motherboard. You will then connect the RGB cord from the fan(s) to the lighting node.
Do you need RGB?
RGB isn’t a necessary or must have option, but it’s ideal if you are working in dark environments. I suggest putting a light strip behind your desktop to have more light in your room. Even better, you can change colours of the light strip or have a nice looking feel to it.
Can RGB fans work without RGB header?
Will RGB fans work without the RGB header being plugged in? Hi, Yes they will work as fans even if you plug in it without the rgb part. Most of the rgb fans come with a controller or demand a controller to be plugged in so you can control them via some kind of a software.
Do RGB fans need RGB header?
Completely depends on the fan. I recently installed a few Corsair LL120 fans which are RGB fans, and they do not need an rgb header. Basically each fan has two cables, one cable goes to the fan header on the motherboard like normal (or to a fan controller in this case).
Does the RGB hub power the fans?
The RGB, as you’ve mentioned, goes to the RGB Fan Hub. That provides power for the lighting. The other PWM header would go to your motherboard. If you have more fans than headers on your motherboard, you can use splitters or PWM Fan Hubs to connect multiple fans to a single header.
What is the difference between Argb and RGB?
RGB and ARGB Headers
RGB or ARGB headers are both used to connect LED strips and other ‘lighted’ accessories to your PC. That’s where their similarity ends. An RGB header (usually a 12V 4-pin connector) can only control colors on a strip in a limited number of ways. … That’s where ARGB headers come into the picture.
Is RGB a gimmick?
While we continue to see the technology behind RGB lighting advance to allow more precise and complex lighting conditions, many in the industry (consumers and developers alike) see it as more of a gimmick than a necessary tool to augment the gaming experience.
Is RGB a waste of money?
RGB anything is a waste of money, speaking in practical terms. It’s flashy, and makes your computer look cool.

Do RGB fans need Sata?
Some only need one cable, some need a controller and rgb hub and a lot of other stuff. For example, Corsair’s RGB fans require a the RGB cables of the fans to be plugged into an RGB Hub, and that RGB Hub plugs in to a Lighting Node Pro, which plugs in via SATA power and USB to the motherboard.
Can I connect fan to RGB header?
No you can’t, pinout isn’t compatible. Son of a gun!
Can you plug Argb into RGB?
Can i plug a 3 pin addressable rgb into a 4 pin addressable rgb on my mobo? You can’t. 3-pin ARGB headers are 5V with a 5V pin, a single data pin, a blank spot and a ground pin. 4-pin RGB headers are 12V with 12V, red, blue and green pins.
Can RGB fans be daisy chain?
Two fans connect to a single RGB header via a splitter, while the other header is split between another fan and two RGB strips that are daisy-chained together. Most RGB strips can be daisy-chained (an adaptor to do so is often included), allowing for longer runs in larger cases.
Can 3 pin fans plug into 4 pin?
Apparently a 3-pin fan can plug directly into a 4-pin socket. Two of the pins provide power to the fan, the 3rd provides an RPM pulse to the motherboard to read the speed. The 4th pin is for PWM speed control. In the case of a 3-pin fan.
