Alphacool HDX Apex Acryl aRGB M.2 - How to connect RGB to Mainboard

[zuffnik]

Hi, all.
Just gotten my HDX Apex for my new rig ....

Now I am wondering, how to connect the aRGB of the HDX to the mainboard ???

The manual is talking about an "included adapter", but there is no adapter to be found.
The 3pin JST cannot be connected directly to the mainboard like this, mainboard has a
standard aRGB connector (4pins, 3rd one is empty)

How must it be connected to work properly or what adapter is needed ??

HI,

as shown in the manual and data sheet is no adapter from the standard 3Pin JST to the often used 4-1Pin Header included and has to be purchased separetely.

Ein einfacher aRGB Adapter von 3-Pin JST auf 3-Pin 5V. Kompatibel zu allen Alphacool aRGB Produkten am 3-Pin JST Anschluss und am anderen Ende des Adapters zu 3-Pin 5V aRGB Anschlüssen, wie sie auf vielen Mainboards und von vielen...

Why this cable is not included I can´t say. Maybe @Eddy or @Thomas_S knows it.

Hi. Unfortunately, there is an error in the article text. It will be corrected & changed immediately. Sorry. The adapter must be purchased separately. @zuffnik Please write me a short PN. Then I will solve your problem without any problems ;-)
