RGB Convertor DEEPCOOL , 5V ADD-RGB to 12V RGB Transfer Hub, Motherboard with 12V 4-pin Header can Contorl 5V ADD-RGB Products, Non-Compatible with Asrock Motherboard

This served its purpose by allowing me to plug the DeepCool Castle 360 EX 3pin connector into my Z270-A Prime motherboard that has only a single 4 pin connector. I'm also able to plug all of my DeepCool fans into it as well and can control the RGB for all. The only thing that would make it better would be if I could address each component separately, but that's a limitation of the motherboard moreso than this product.*UPDATE*This converter is really something special and so I figured it would be best if I came back and touted it a bit more. I have continued looking online because I feel like a product such as this would be a lot more common but the fact is adapting 5v to 12v is really complicated. But in my research I have also found that this is a very common issue people have when trying to use motherboards from around early 2017 and older in new builds. Deepcool found a solution and this adapter is it. When people come to me wanting to update an older build and make it "look nice" rarely does their motherboards support 5v RGB yet its definitely the most common rgb peripheral connector today. This adapter is perfect for such a situation. Nobody wants to use a bunch of different controllers to change the lights on their PC and why should they when they can use this RGB adapter and use their motherboards software.Thank you Deepcool.

My motherboard only has 12v rgb header, this great little product has allowed me to plug in my 5v argb devices, without buying a new expensive motherboard just to have compatability. Would buy again.

I bought some darkFlash DR12 Pro RGB case fans that were advertised as "Aura Sync compatible." When I hooked them up, I was mad because they only connected to 5v RGB motherboard headers and not 12v RGB motherboard headers like my ASUS Prime X470-Pro has. However, I ended up doing some research and came across an article where someone linked this converter as a solution for people with a similar motherboard. Good news is, this works like a charm. Now my darkFlash DR12 Pro RGB case fans are synced up with my ASUS motherboard using Aura Sync. It's also good because they offer 2 of each header port on this converter instead of just one.

This installed easily and is designed to produce a 3-color output signal to drive Addressable-RGB (aka 5V Digital-RGB; typically 3-wire) LED devices based on a 12-volt standard RGB input (typically 4-wire). However I found that each color channel seems to only get modulated from about 80 or 90% minimum to 100% maximum, when the input signal varies from 0% to 100%. So for example, when your source commands a pure blue output, which should mean zero green and zero red, in reality this device outputs 85% red, 85% green, and 100% blue; this looks like white light with a bluish tinge. The same thing occurs for green and red. So for example, if you program the output for a red-green-blue "color wheel" effect, what you get is whitish light that varies from a reddish tinge to a greenish tinge to a bluish tinge, but always mostly white. I tried this with two different DRGB devices, each of which was proven to work properly when driven by the DRGB outputs of my motherboard. As well, when I plugged in 12V RGB devices to the RGB signal source I was using to drive this converter, they worked properly, proving that the 12V RGB source was correct. Unfortunately I purchased this device in mid-December when planning my build, but didn't get around to completing my build and actually powering this thing up, until early May. So the 30-day return window is long since expired. I've contacted the seller, and I'll update this review if I hear back from them with any reasonable solution.

I learned the hard way about the differences between addressable and non-addressable RGB lights. I bought a case with plenty of LED fans in it...all addressable...I bought a new MB with non-addressable...but didn't know it until I realized the cables and voltages were different....I looked everywhere for a solution which didn't require me to buy a bunch of new expensive fans....I came across the Deepcool RGB converter....smacked it in my case, hooked up the 12 volt connector to my MB and the 5 volt connectors to my fans....voila...I could control via my Aura software....unfortnuatley...it just doesn't do a good job of converting the signals...the nice smooth transitions you are supposed to get are herky jerky....no matter what speed or setting I tried...it wasn't pleasant to look at...so, I had to remove...just using the push button on my case to change the colors and modes for some of the fans now....better than nothing....I would not recommend this product if you want to have anything but static colors.

This thing is awesome. It can allow all of the 5v products to be controlled by the 12v motherboard in my case I had some rgb fans that were only 5v and my Asus Prime X470 only had 2 12v connectors. I plugged the fan hub into the convertor and plug the convertor into the 12v on the MB and... It works. Now my whole setup can be colorsynced to the same colors all within the Aura program. This thing is awesome.

I run an Asus Strix B350-f motherboard that only has 2 4-pin 12v RGB headers for lighting. I won a three pack of ARGB (5v, Signal, Ground) fans. I didn't want to have to control them with a dongle that limits color options and what not so I never installed them. Found this controller and it was an instant purchase!There is only one plug that handles the ASUS Aura style ARGB header (5v,_,D,G) but my fans came with a three way splitter, so it wasnt a big issue.My only criticism is that the ARGB port doesn't hold the plug very well. It comes out easily and, therefore, taping it in a bit may be beneficial.Also note, this product IS NOT a 'Deepcool' product but, rather, a GamersStorm product. They are just a subsidiary though.

My Asus motherboard doesn't have ARGB header, but has RGB header. I bought Ant eSports superflow argb kit and combined this Deepcool convertor with those and it works like a charm. Now I can control this ARGB lights with Asus Aura sync.

Your browser does not support HTML5 video.  Nothing special about it. converts all argb lights to rgb. Rainbow will not look good all single color settings like color shift will look good depending on your choice. I am using this with MSI B450 Tomahawk max mobo, I haven't faced any issues so far.

Most of us probably need this for the same reason - convert 5V LEDs to 12V plug on an ASUS motherboard of some kind. For this purpose it works great BUT! make sure you also have a splitter cable because there is only a single 5V slot on this device.A note if you are in the same situation I was - I am using this to control the fan LEDs in my case. My case came with a fan controller. In order to control the LEDs, the controller needed to be bypassed completely. LEDs can only be addressed though a normal splitter cable.

I had order a bunch of different RGB fans and lights and was unable to use some and had multiple controllers for lights which was a big inconvenience until I got this, now all my RGB devices are working and controlled with this one device. supports all RGB devices and can get splitter to add more, also my motherboard RGB didn't have enough power to power all the devices but the power output with this was enough for all lights to work.

If you're stuck in the position of having addressable RGB lighting but only a 4 pin RGB connection on your motherboard this is about your only option FOR MOTHERBOARD CONTROL. With that said the control isn't great; many effects and signals are not carried well through the transformer creating some annoying issues. assume any complex effects are a no go, other than static at a single color you will run into interference. If you're ok with settling for static RGB from your addressable components this adapter is great, otherwise, I would highly recommend using an addressable RGB controller to get the most out of your hardware.P.S. lowering the brightness will help reduce signal interference, especially while static.
