Can my Motherboard support this RGB case?

nocubes · Apr 25, 2018

I want to build a PC, and for this I choose an RGB case. Recently, I have realized that my motherboard may not have enough ports for all the case fans and for the RGB lights of the fans. After doing some research, I have realized that the case has a RGB splitter included, but, I still don't know if I will have enough ports and cables for all the 4 fans(3 RGB and a non-RGB) Can someone help me?

Here is the list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nBcYgw

When you are putting together the components of your new build, the last thing to consider is the "blanking" colors. Build the system so that it is functional first and foremost. After that you can do what you want with it.

No it cant , the case needs a rgb controller, either on the board or an addon one.

I can't undertand why anyone would buy a pentium anyway now.

This is better , board has rgb headers controllable by software or in bios.

The ryzen is a real quad core, & is overclockable.
Even at stock speeds it's a way better cpu than the pentium.

You're right it is better. It is better because it is more functional. The RGB is an after thought addo-on. Ask your self how many times a day do you look into your PC case and say "oh how pretty!". Then ask yourself how many times those same pretty lights are gong to keep you awake?

And being able to turn them off is......? When they are on!

Madmatt, that board will be able to be used with the case(without extra adapters)? And does the CPU have a good overclocking?
terry4536, I know LEDs aren't very important, but I am helping my friend, and he really likes them

And since I have created a thread, may I ask something else? This PC is intended for 720p gaming, is it good for it? I choose a GPU which could run games at 1080p if he changes his monitor, but that is not happening soon, and I am worried GPU could be overkill for the purpose...

^ yes the build I listed can be used with no adapters.

The case comes with a rgb splitter, the board has 2 rgb headers.

The board only has 2 case fan connectors , the case does come with a molex splitter so the front fans can be directly connected to the psu.

This does however mean they run at full speed all the time.

If you want variable speed control over them purchase a 4 pin splitter aswell

The above is not a necessity however.

720p gaming ?? Yes it'll rip through games at that resolution.
Keep the rx 560 in there if its within his budget, it offers future proofing for newer games down the line.
