Hi i need Help!! with Bitspower Touchaqua Notos RGB 120mm Case Fan - 3 Pack how to make them work
I just got him a few days ago and Microcenter but my motherboard does not support it. I did not ask if they will work on my motherboard. I see it has no (RGB addressable) but my motherboard does not have that connector (Help!!)

Hello @Alex_tepa
The two parts that you've linked here are compatible!
The motherboard does have an ARGB header and the Bitspower fan kit does have the ARGB header required to connect to the controller.
In the motherboard manual, it should be labeled as 1 x Aura RGB Strip Header. Which you can connect to the ARGB connector in the Bitspower controller.
Hope this helps but I'd be happy to help if you have further questions.

Yes I know that but the fans that I linked from micro center only have three pin. My motherboard only has four pin connector RGB. no addressable rgb that's what I saw on the internet to be able to connect this on the motherboard. I hope I make sense
-
it only has 4 pin on my the motherboard so I am assuming I cannot connect rgb just the fan heads without a adapter.I'm pretty sure I can connect the fans but no RGB will work -
You're correct. This does only have the 4-pin ARGB connector. I did not see the Bitspower connector correctly and thought that it was 4-pin as well. The Bitspower connector does require a 3-pin connector. I apologize for offering the incorrect information.
Unfortunately, your original statement is correct, this motherboard would not be compatible with this fan controller.

@LandShark thanks for the help I guess I can only use these as regular fans well I can't make it work with RGB.
I tried to see if there's any other fans on micro center that are cheaper without RGB but don't see any online -
With the regular fan hub
-
@LandShark fan hub do I have to connect it to the CPU fan or can I connect it to the other (2) (three in total fan connectors motherboard)
-
You're welcome to connect it to one of the other 4-pin fan headers. If you have a CPU fan or cooler, I'd recommend connecting it there and the fan controller to one of the case fan controllers.
Typically this Bitspower cooler and fan combo are used for custom liquid coolers, used to cool the CPU.
I hope this explains things.
-
Another option would be to upgrade to a higher-tier motherboard that would be capable of using the 3-pin connector.
-
Right now now my motherboard and Cpu are working great don't really want to upgrade yet the future probably when I want to get a better GPU ect. Thank you 👍
-
Glad to hear that they are working well together for you!
Do let us know if there is anything else that we can help you with.
-
Thanks again just wish micro center had a discord as well @LandShark
-
Thanks for the feedback! I'll pass the recommendation along!

The only company that seems to make a quality RGB to ARGB adapter is DeepCool. I have seen them available on newegg. I will post it here.
