Use 5V RGB Fans on 12V Motherboard with DEEPCOOL RGB CONVERTER
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- In this video, we are using the DeepCool 5V to 12V RGB Transfer Hub to be able to use 5V 3pin Fans on 12V B450 Motherboard.
We are using the Deepcool RGB Converter on the PC COOLER Corona RGB Fans, Moonlight Series. I was able to sync up all my 5V 3pin fans on 12V 4pin ASUS B450 F Gaming motherboard, alongside my Gkill TridentZ RGB Ram. Great combination when everything is all synced up. I’ll show you all the cool effects I’m able to do by using this DeepCool Gamerstorm RGB Transfer Hub. Actually, I'm gonna show you 2 ways to do it, with the included PC Cooler RGB controller and with the DeepCool RGB Converter.

Out of all the videos on this RGB converter... yours is BY FAR the best. Thank you, kind sir!
Thanks Marcos. Glad it helped!
i find this is also the best video about this converter, all of the other just confused me more lol
This is no lie. Finally someone that knows how to make content 😂
2 years after, still a relevant tutorial and so easy to understand. Thanks for the content, bro. Cheers!
Yo! You saved my ass, i thought I messed up by buying the wrong motherboard. Building my first pc so I'm excited and nervous lol
I thought I was going to have to live with that friggin controller for my fans - cycling between only a couple of light modes while my ram, mobo and gpu have all the fun. Thanks for highlighting how to hook this up. Now, i'll be able to "like" my fans as well.
Thank you so much for this! You've just solved my problem in a clear and concise way. I've been banging my head against a wall trying to figure this out
Nice video! I think you might be one of the only people I could find that actually showed how to install it instead of just talking about it for 15 minutes. Thank you!
Thank you! What's the fun in just talking about anything? Let's see it! Throw in some macro shots too so we can actually see what's going on. Boom.
Just what I needed!!! Was about to buy a whole new board.. saved me$$$$$
so with the deepcool converter you can use argb effect trough software without having argb header in the mobo ? I am correct? I'm asking cause at the end I could not appreciate the argb effects well
Absolutely agree with Marcos. Your video was the most user friendly and thorough I've seen on this product. Confident now that I won't fry any 5v fans on my 12v rgb headers. Thanks and good luck on your future videos!
Building a new PC after 4 years and going back to this video again. Very informative. Not to mention we have the same mobo (which I am reusing) so I'm in luck. 😁
FOR ASROCK USERS
In general Asrock MB are not supported, but in my case (BeQuiet 500DX) LEDs were blinking, after using this device I can set up static colors, only effects like breathing are not working properly. So if you face a problem with blinking leds - this may fix it.
finally ... a vid on how to do this ...thank u so much i cant believe no one has a vid .. (least i havent found one ) u made it super easy to understand .. thanks again
Thanks for doing this video. I'm installing this hub for RGB needs with Deepcool cf120 fans and the Deepcool matrexx 55 case. I wasn't sure of wiring orientation but this fixed that.
Question buddy, my new case came with 6 RGB Fans and include a RGB Hub, but my Mobo dont have the RGB Headers what Control Converter do i need?
Me too, but i check my mobo spec it does have 4 pin RGB that didn't use. So I'm gonna try this.
this device must be one of the most useful things ever made, nice video, you have my exact same problem 3 pins fans with 4 pins motherboard and this device seems to solve this problem, keep the good work !
Thanks. I love cheap things that actually do their job!
Best one out there. Fast, Clear, no nonsense
thanks u so much, ur English is perfect, cos im (siberian man) can hear all words
Haha, thanks! I don't know how I didnt end up with a major Southern accent. I grew up in the Dirty South, so I still say ya'll and certain southern things.
Ita exactly what I wanted to see from deepcool converter, thanks a lot!)
thanks for this video. i watched a sea, not se, an ocean of videos that shows only basic connection 3pin to 4pin mobo. and that was it. i needed more and i saw it here. thankis!
Can i change the speed of the fans with the second method?
Really nice video, exactly what i searched for, thanks!
I am using this device since I had to replace my motherboard and didn't realize it doesn't have a 3 pin header. I don't really mind losing the functionality of changing individual colors as I always left it on blue before having to change mobo's. My problem is, I can't use any of the effects now like breathing, color cycle or any that have movement because when I set it to that it just flashes instead of smoothly transitioning. It also will not sync with my ram. I'm using mystic light 3. Do you have any idea if there is a remedy to this?
This thing is definitely still relevant I just had to get one this weekend from Amazon. It works great.
Great to hear! Thanks. They were out of stock for the longest time.
@@RayValenciacan work with asrock?
Thanks man, exactly what I'm searching for! This is life-saving. 😀😁
Straightforward and helpful. Cant wait for my build. Subbed!
Gonna try this fix for a Arctic AIO lighting setup that didn't work with the MB 3 pin connector. Thanks for the videol
Guys, if you have multiple ARGB components (5v3pins) like me (I have ARGB Fans, and M.2 Heatsink), since the converter only converts 1 5v3pin connector, you can buy an ARGB hub, then connect the hub to the converter, it worked for me.
or, best advise would be get a board with argb headers lmao. Thanks, Ray Valencia!
Did you connect the sata cable of the argb hub to the psu or the one sata cable from the deepcool?
I have an MSI Motherboard and ASUS GPU (which only have 12v RGB header on the gpu itself).. I'll try to use this ASAP. Thanks!
Great video. I had all of the stuff but not the knowledge to make it work, thanks a ton.
I see. So each led isn't addressable and you can't have say 2 colors the hue together around the fan? It must be one solid color?
Thank you! I was hitting a brick wall. Just ordered it!
This is so detailed, thank you v much, picking up today!
yah yours is way smoother then mine not sure why i have a flicker of colors in between the color cycle
At around 8:50 - Whats that song called in the background? Thats a song from the Mobile Game called "Pickle Pete" . Now I am just wondering if it was royalty free music or something?
Can you plug a fan hub into the converter and everything still works the same?
Thanks for making this, I was having the same issue today with my new Nonovast case fans.
THANKYOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just got a LanCool 2 Mesh and the fans are 3pin but the Header on my STRIX MoBo is 4 pin exactly like yours! Taylor made tutorial and you didnt even know it! ^_^
Thanks. Glad I could help!
I like your video, it's very helpful. But is there a product similar to deepcool? I've searched the online shop in my country but all the shops are empty
Thanks
Wow! That's what i was lookiing for! U helped me a lot! Thanks for the vid!
Thank you for this video I am gonna try to get this converter soon and was scared it may be the wrong thing but I think it’ll be the correct thing. Hopefully I can make my fans work otherwise I bought 6 rgb fans that will be regular
I finally found this goddamn thing, been looking for a solution for a year, will update once it gets delivered. Great video by the way, very informative and throughout.
Thanks. Just like everything these days! Can't buy any electronics we actually need right now damnit! Lol
Did it work for you?
@@RobloxRandomMadness It did, color changes are a bit limited, but you can control it through software
@@Tumathy Which software did you use? The fans dont seem to light up when I dont use the controller
@@RobloxRandomMadness ICue
This video really helped me. Thanks a lot brother. Also please tell me how many argb fans can we connect through with this converter. (Like 3-4 case fans ARGB & 2-3 ARGB AIO FANS?)
Thanks Varun. I have tested it with 3RGB fans and 2 regular LED case fans.
great video, i got a addressable rgb converter that came with my pc but i cant control it via asus arua, think this should solve the issue? (fans that i installed are compatible with aura)
Hi Isidro. Thanks. Yes, this converter should solve the problem for you. It works with all the Aura effects on my B450 mb.
@@RayValencia is that rgb header you use the same as an jrgb header on the b450 tomahawk max?
I found this converter but was confused what its use would be with only one 5V connector (I currently have 5 cables that need connecting). Didn't think of the fact that splitter cables exist :'D thanks!
Really really helpful video! Thank you for this!
Thanks i just want to control my fans using software so its cooler. I don't really care much for color mixes
Can you get just the RGB effects(not ARGB effects) from ARGB fans using this convertor?
i think so
Oh, Thanks! Your video is awesome! 😊😊😊
Do you have a link to the 3 pin rgb splitter cable you used?
It came with the PC Cooler fans.
Excellent video on this product! Thank you!
I did exactly as you did. My msi fans are lighting up barely and i cannot synchronize them on armoury crate or msi program
I have this too. But drawbacks is that your Add-RGB fans are also converted to RGB fans. I.e Single colour at a time. So rainbow effect won't work.
aura sync is working or not? any other drawback bro
@@SevenStoneStudio It will work with aura sync if your components are compactible. Just that you won't get rainbow effect. It will be single color at a time. I changed my Motherboard with 3pin argb connector. Thats the best solution to use argb fans.
@@elianfernandes9390 that's what i think for RGB fans need to spend.. because now only upgraded my cpu.. anyway can you tell me in asus which board have 3pin argb ?
@@SevenStoneStudio Im using Asrock b450 stell legends for my Ryzen 7. It has 2 rgb and 1 argb pin
@@SevenStoneStudio In asus any Motherboard with B550 above should have a 3pin argb connector. But confirm before you get one
Useful info, thanks for sharing!
It helps us not to break our new ARGBs.
Thanks for this video! I'm a newbie with the rgb stuff and you help me understand how it work!!
Glad to help Cliff!
Hey thanks! This video helped me a lot and your explanation is clear.
thanks for full guide on this
wow, i just knew that there's this thing out there.. Danggg I was too late to know it..
I have this on my tuf b450m pro gaming. It synced but sometimes it flickers, sometimes not. I kepr the lighting single color
I finally got all my parts connected and my RGB fans are flickering. Asus PRIME B450M Aii with 6 DEEPCOOL CF120 FANS. RGB is connected mobo 4pin>Deepcool hub> 6 fans daisy chained in sets of 3 coming in through Deepcool connector and 3 coming in through Deepcool 3pin>5v 3pin argb adapter.
All of the fans go insane. I can't figure out the cause of this.
Thanks for the vid. The thing is I have a ARGB hub, can I directly plug to the converter or should I use splitter cable instead? Hope to here from you soon.
I have also been wondering this same question. Unfortunately, I don't have one to test this out. Does anyone know if this will work with an ARGB hub? Because although you gain a lot of functionality and effects with this method, it's not addressable.
I want to know the answer to this too. Im thinking of using 2 deepcool convertors in case argb hub+convertor does not work. Anyone else tried it out?
I have an Aorus anti-sag bracket and I can't light it so I ordered this converter for like 8 dollars. Hope it would work once it arrives.
How many fans could i daisy-chain to this? Is it better to use 2 converters for 6 fans or is 1 enough for all 6?
So what were the 12 volt rgb headers initially used for? there are millions of motherboards that have them but case fans don't connect to them
6:55 I’m very confused on the wording. I only have 12v 4 pins. If I plug in a GPU RGB bracket into that 5v 3pin slot, won’t it fry because you said you converted 5v to 12v? I’m trying to do it the other way but I’m just so confused on what people say.
Same, did u figure it out btw?
@@sanzj.s2289 Nope, i gave up because i never get a simple answer. Not worth frying my stuff because they wont clarify :/
Thank You Sir ....It helped a lot. I was so worried that how will it work. Thank you so much
My all rgb work with controller. The controller out 3pin. The 3 pin connect to converter directly ?
I’m buying lian li unifan to have nice ARGB, can I use the deepco converter to use Lian li’s software on the fans?
Edit: can I use non deepcool fans for method number 2?
Thank you so much
Hi, in minute 6:30 you connect the 6pin power cable to PSU. What if my PSU doesnt have that conector?
You sir are a god among men thank you!!!!
6:20 The 6-pin cable you talk about may be confusing for newbs, better just to show hooking up a sata female IMHO. Those fans are using the incorrect 4-pin RGB header, should be using the 2-space-1 ARGB header, possible to fry those 5v LEDS for a first time builder. I should know, had some 4-pin header ARGBs and fried them by accident 🤣 Nice video, didn't know about the magnetic feature until your vid! Keep up the great work!
Thank you clarifying Techspin! Hooking up a sata female is another good way. You're right. There are definitely some dangers of frying your fans if you hook up the wrong cables. There are a lot of people asking questions about specific components and builds for this converter... but I can only speak from experience with what I have shown here in the video. So, I SINCERELY appreciate any bit of extra info and insight like this that could help people out.
Nice set of RGB lights for the price. I ended using the mini controller, unfortunately my motherboard doesn't support rgb control. Wonder what the lifespan will be regarding the lights.
thanks so much!!!! i finally understand how to connect my RGB fan
My Gigabyte x470 has a jumper switch for 5v or 12v header..
Thanks this was life saving.
Thank you for the vid, was actually really helpful, I have the same issue 3 pin 5 volts vs 4 pings 12v in my mother board XD
One questions this converter have 2 port for 5 volst 3 pings or just the one ?
Hi Victor. Thanks! It has (2) 5V connectors but one of them is a dedicated 5V 3pin Gigabyte connection, The other is a Asus/MSI 5V 3pin connection. You can use a splitter out of that port like I did too. The other side has (2) 12V 4pin Connections for Asus, MSI, Gigabyte.
How did it work out for you bud?
Want to thank you for your great and helpful explaining during this video
Thanks, I'm glad it helped!! You're very welcome!
This is really cool and all but, my biggest issue is that you lose the Addressable Lighting when you use the converter and Asus Aura has different settings for different motherboards. Only the ARGB header motherboards have the ARGB software in Aura Sync. This is great if you made the mistake of buying 3 pin fans when you needed 4 pin. But, you lose the Addressable RGBs which really sucks.
Can I use this on my b450 mortar max and sync montech air 100 argb. Currently my case performs only the install argb function 🤔
And one more thing how many fans can I connect through this device, what I've if I wanna connect 5 or 6 fans 😐
Wow great review , clever options .
i used the same rgb convertor and my fans does constant flashes any ideas?
plz need help
at 7.08 you connect the 3 pin splitter to the top (fan & ledstrip 5 volt) of the converter or do you connect connector to the motherboard header?
I need to plug the sata cable or work without ?
Can we use aio when I have only 4pin RGB conectors on my pc
okay so i have an rgb fan hub controller but it uses 3 pin. the question is i still need to input some power on my rgb fan hub controller? even though i have this conversion kit?
hi want to get your advise on this product, can my mobo asus m5a99x evo r2.0 set up this rgb fan? as i found no 12v rgb pin on my mobo. only 4pin for fan and cpu fan? hope to hear from u.thanks
I have gigabyte b450m ds3h which only have static color effect will this solve the problem
And will i get all the other effects
My fans are rgb not argb
But the other effects like breathing and other things should work
So all the fans will run like 12V and light only one specific color? I thought it was possible to do argb even if the motherboard does not have 5V
Hello friend, I have a problem, I do not know if you would know how to help me but I bought the device and when I connect it the rgb of my fans begin to blink without sense
Will this work with Lian Li SL fans? I feel like I read or heard somewhere that the Lian Li rgb doesn't work unless you use the controller it came with.
I have a 5v 3pin hub that host 8 argb fans can i directly plug it to the converter so that all of the can be converted to 12v and be sync?
Can I connect a hub to this? Like the dr12 pro's rgb hub? It has a 3pin that is supposed to go to the motherboard but mine doesn't have it. My mobo only has 4 pin rgb header.
Okay
So if I buy Corsair ML140RGB
and if I want to use motherboard RGB Pins for lightning it up
And for Fans
If I use chassis header on case
Will it work normally??
can i use this with a fan hub. like run the 5v rgb header but still plug in the fan header right into the motherboard?
How many fans can you daisy from this on one header ? Can you run this to a hub etc. thanks
If I’m connecting 8 fans would I need 2 of these converters or can I connect the fans to a rgb hub then connect the hub to the converter.
Hello i have a deepcool ls 720wh and i want to connect the rgb fans from it to deepcool 5v to12 v convertor to my msi z 390 a pro motherboard . Is it possible if i connect the rgb cable coming trough the convertor to "jrgb1" port from my motherboard ?
I wonder if is necessary to connect the pci e to psu if only using one fan. I would think is possible. But maybe you can answer my question. Thank you
Really cool vid my guy!
This helped me so much gained your self a new sub
i have a question if i get like some sata adapter can it burn my asus rog strix b550-f gaming (wifi) because like i don't want to get a new one
can i do this with a TH360 ARGB Sync AIO Liquid Cooler?
