Question 1

How do you change the LED colors? Like if I have a red themed build?

Accepted Answer

There are jumpers to use on the back of the device that allow for turning on specific LEDs.  It basically allows current to flow to the specific color LED. It's been a while since I've had to look at the back of the controller (great quality), but all you do is put the cap over the LED color you want shown.  I have mine set to green, so I capped the green.

I will say it's very clearly marked in the instructions that came with the controller.

Question 2

How many cables do I plug into it?

Accepted Answer

Hi Jeff:      There are only four terminals on the rear of the controller but I believe that the controller would handle anything that you could throw at it....It appears to be slightly overkill just to run a simple fan. So what I am saying is that if you had two case fans such as at the top of the case you could modify the connections and hook them both together and they would run in unison off one controlled leaving you three others to do what you want with......

Question 3

I notice it has 3 molex connectors -- in order to supply this baby with enough power, does one connect ALL 3 to your PSU? Or do you just connect one Molex. It would seem, if you have a few monster 49w fans, that you would need to plug in multiple separate Molex rails to get the power you need; but maybe I'm wrong and the extra molex are extensions.
Also since it's 3-pin, I assume you can still plug a 4-pin PWM fan in and control it; is that true?

Hi Justin,

On the instructional booklet there is a warning which reads:

"WARNING: The device needs all 3 male molexs to be connected to PSU for proper functionality and safety, do not run the product without attaching all 3 connections properly first to ensure safe function. Recommended to use with 600w or higher power supply to ensure proper functionality and safety."

I am not sure about the 3-pin vs 4-pin issue. I am using 3 pins for all my fans. My most powerful fan is a Delta 50w.

Hope that helps!
