flare for finished build

Geo

i've seen alot of these rgbs brackets and such. I almost have enough to finish my new pc and I wanted to give it some extra flare, with things like this https://www.newegg.com/p/2YM-006S-000N8?Item=9SIARFAD0W5977. I dont know which ones or how many of these different types i can put in my case but i would like to make it look really cool since i've been doing all this extra ot and want to treat myself a bit more and would like to put as many as i can in there. i have a 680x crystal series from corsair, if any one can discern the parts and help me out.

Greetings @Geo

Looking at that item in particular, it says it's a 3 pin 5 volt, which will tell you it's an addressable RGB device. It's going to come down to how many headers you have first, then keep in mind you can use breakout cables as well, but they're going to be controlled as one device at that point. There's also the possibility of a standalone ARGB controller as well.

Geo

Not even sure if it has a place since I also have a full custom water cooling kit from corsair

@Geo

It'll be labeled on your motherboards manual. Usually as ARGB, or RAINBOW RGB. You can also buy a standalone controller if you need to add this functionality. What motherboard do you have?

@Geo

You definitely  will with that board. I checked the manual and MSI likes to use JRAINBOW for ARGB headers. You have two on the bottom of the board. Keep in mind you can use breakout cables to connect multiple devices to the single header, but your only going to be able to control the devices on that breakout cable as one item. It's basically just a splitter.

Geo

Would you have any recommendations, since I have the least knowledge about this and that one item I posted doesnt have great customer service

@Geo

Not particularly. The board you have has a ton of headers and you should be able to use whatever you like. If you like that cover, then go for it. It's just going to connect to one of the JRAINBOW ARGB  headers on the board. If you have more than two devices, you'll use splitters to attach them to the same header. Beyond that, you just change the colors in Dragon Center.

Geo

Can you link a split since I might get 2
