Hi, im about to buy this motherboard as an ugrade. Regarding my question, for example with the corsair 570x case that requires you to plug it in to an rgb header will it work as one?
 
Solution
DO NOT plug that case into the header on your motherboard. The Corsair RGB fans use 5V RGB, not 12V. You will burn out the fan RGBs.

In fact, you'd have to hack it to get it to actually connect to the motherboard header. General rule of thumb: if it doesn't go in easily, don't do it.


The header is called "RGB LED Header", so it is for LED and RGB LED.
So it should work with any compatible 4-pin RGB LED lighting up to 12V/3A, 36W
RGB (red, green and blue) LEDs products combine these three main colors to produce over 16 million hues of light.

Idk about the voltage of the fans on the case, it would be nice if you found it

So if the case requires an RGB header to control fan lighting, im fine?

 

Don't worry about that, you will connect the fans to fan headers. Corsair fans draw around 0.30 - 0.40 Amps per fan, so you could have a lot more.



Yes, just make sure to plug it on the 4-pin RGB LED header. Check the manual in the motherboard box.
