Question 1

could i use this to control some corsair HD120 RGB fans? I would really like to control the RGB fans from aura, instead of pushing a button on the outside of the case to change settings.

Accepted Answer

No, this is for controlling 12v non addressable LEDs, the hd120 fans have 5v addressable LEDs which would fry immediately. It is currently not possible without a large amount of software and hardware hacking to control those fans with aura sync. The aura sync software really isn't that great, btw. Limited options and things desync often. Corsair's lighting software is far superior.

Question 2

Where do i get more of the cables for this unit? It comes with 2 but has room for 8. I have bought two of these to hook up 14 Cooler Master RGB fans.

Accepted Answer

I had the same issue and had to order mine from silverstone.  Send them an email and they can help you.

Question 3

I have a unique situation with my ASUS Aura enabled Mobo - it has no RGB headers on the board (ASUS TUF Z270 Mark 1). My G.Skill RAM and the mobo logo light up through the use of the Aura software, but my In Win 805i case had to be plugged into an RGB splitter that is plugged into a USB header and SATA power and uses their HALO software to control those lights. I'd like to be able to control everything through the Asus Aura Sync software. Could I use this adapter to control all of these components through the Asus Aura software? If so, how would this adapter plug into my board?

Accepted Answer

Im just going to say in short that since your mobo doesn't have a 4 pin rgb connector then you can you cant use Silverstone hub to control your case with the aura software. There are many work arounds such as getting a new mobo that has the 4 pin rgb headers or buying a graphics card that has 1 rgb header or even quite possibly an add on card that has 4 pin rgb headers (not sure on this as I don't know if pcie can output a 12V line). All in all just having one 4 pin rgb header available you can connect it to the Silverstone hub and then from the Silverstone hub you can connect everything from your case lighting to all asus aura compatible peripherals and sync them up. The 4 pin rgb header pin is enough to supply the 12v power and the RGB signals across.

Question 4

the rgb header on my motherboard went out . Can this get power solely from the molex connector?

Accepted Answer

I'm going to say yes.  This box is capable of controlling the color itself by using your PC's reset button as an input to change color.  It does not require a motherboard RGB header as you can see by the switch on the side to change modes.

Question 5

I want to connect Silverstone RGB strips and my MasterFan Pro 120 Air Balance RGB (both works with Asus Aura) but my Asus motherboard only have one RGB header. Can I connect all my RGB strip and Fans RGB connector to this control box and connect this control box to that one RGB header so I could synchronize my lighting?

Accepted Answer

The rgb connections for the fans will not fit the inside of the pin area on the controller. The pins need to be extruding from the controller in order to connect the fans. I'm in search of a 4pin female header extension right now that raises the pin height high enough to connect the 6 fans I bought with this item. No luck yet.
