![]() All of our RGB controllers, regardless of generation, have a limit of 40 LEDs per channel.Gen 2 devices do have this functionality using a Gen 2 controller. Gen 1 products do not have the ability to daisy chain different types of RGB devices on the same channel. ![]() In this article, we’ll detail the steps and restrictions for daisy-chaining multiple different types of NZXT RGB Accessories. Hope this helps, I've got my other two fans ordered and I'll make a video of how to fully do this once they arrive and link to it.Many of our NZXT RGB Accessories can be daisy-chained with each other to improve the cable management of your build (Note: F-Series RGB Fans cannot be daisy-chained.) This is made possible through connection cables that go between many different NZXT products. The only problem is that Asus Aura pins are: +GRB not +RGB but to solve this you merely cut and solder the middle two wires of the cable the other way round. It all worked as I wanted it to and is the correct voltage for Asus Aura now. It worked great! Firstly, the fan looks so much better in my opinion because the LED strip is 300 LEDs/m whereas the corsair strip is 150 LEDs/m. I maxed the fan controller and hit the adapter at the wall. I connected the PWM from the fan to my fan controller just for test purposes and used my 12v LED strip driver from a DC adapter. I'm building my new PC at the moment and it's my birthday next week so I'm hoping to get the remainder of my parts so I can't hook it up to Asus Aura yet. I then glued the other end in place ensuring that it was tight around the fan.Īfter this I reassembled the fan and was ready to test it. I then fitted the wire into the exit slot and hot glued the soldered end in place from the wire's location. I then placed the strip around the fan and cut it as close as I could to a full lap at the cut points without it overlapping. Next, I used heat shrink to cover the soldering at both ends and ensure the wires stay in position. I soldered the cable onto a standard 5050 RGB LED strip and cut the corsair connector off the other end and soldered it to a RGB LED strip connector. There was no returning the fan from point so I could only keep going. I removed the strip from the fan and chopped the wire off it to use it. I got the fan open a similar way to how described in the article and as I hoped the LED strip was directly exposed. I was struggling to get it open but I found this article in which someone opens the HD120 fan to access the LEDs but for a different reason: Imgur Article I ordered a single HD120 fan to test my theory and it arrived the other day. ![]() This got me thinking whether I could disassemble the fan, remove the LED strip and add my own standard non-waterproof 5050 RGB LED strip. I eventually came up with an idea the next model up Corsair fans (HD120) use the same LEDs as the SP120 but on a strip around the outside. I tried to find a standard RGB fan I could adapt to aura but had no joy. So after this discovery I gave up on the SP120 fans and returned the final working one. I then discovered the reason I couldn't get anything working is because the cable is: Positive, Data 1, Data 2, Negative. I then did some research as to why I couldn't get it to work at all and I found that the LEDs used on the SP120 fans are individually controllable and I plugged the fan into the corsair controller and into my current computer and it worked fine. It worked for a very short while veryĭim but I couldn't get them to turn back on after. I did some research and found out they're 5v LEDs.Ģ) I used a 5v positive wire from a cut USB cable and a 12v negative wire from the led driver - No lights, fizzing or smoking but the smell was awful.ģ) I used a 12v to 5v DC car adapter and used the positive and Red from the LED driver to convert down to 5v. Since I spent ages writing it and it got deleted it I'll shorten it and if anyone wants more detail ask me.įirstly, I'm 16 so you can definitely give it a shot.īefore I came up with a proper solution I managed to blow 2 Corsair SP120 RGB fans.ġ) I attempted to connect a 12v LED strip driver to the fan LED connector - It worked very bright for a few seconds then fizzled and smoked.
