Proper cabling addressable RGB header.

[Uranius]

Today is my birthday. The present that is promised is the Eisblock Aurora for the Asus RX 6800 XT TUF when it is available in the US or where I live in Canada.
I have a very complicated build using a Tower 900 case and an Asus Crosshair VIII Formula. I intend to connect the RGB connector directly to and aRGB header on the motherboard. Alternatively I could connect it to a Thermaltake Sync controller which currently controls RGB for my pump/reservoirs.
Can I use this cable, instead of the recommended one with three connectors? Alphacool RGB 4pol LED adapter cable for mainboards 50cm - black
Thank you.

Happy birthday

We will get the cooler back in shortly. However, I cannot tell you when the resellers in the USA will be supplied with it. But I would expect 2-3 weeks.

Caution... 4-pin RGB is not compatible with 3-pin aRGB. 4-Pin RGB runs with 12V, if you connect aRGB here, the LEDs will burn out because they only run with 5V. Also, from a technical point of view, there is a huge difference between aRGB and RGB.

Therefore, please use the 3-pin connector of your motherboard and not the RGB Thermaltake controller. This is only for RGB and can not control aRGB.

So the cable I chose is correct. I just need to use the 5v addressable header. I have two of them. Thanks.
I have bought the majority of components, probably $2000, from Performance PCs in the US.

Correct.... 2000 is a lot for a PC. But well.... if you need performance you have to pay more

Two PCs, three loops.
