Installation is done through settings - plugins - install plugin (button) - select the downloaded package: ![]() We need 2 plugins for the following setup. OpenRGB is very powerful open source control program, that supports not only the RGB header, but also for example the popular Trident Z RGB RAM and AMD CPU cooler. This is mainly because I could put in high tolerances, especially on the “J” bend part, after the strip is put on the holes are not visible anyway. To my surprise the first revision already fitted well to LEDs. Then I printed it in transparent PETG, cut 3 pieces of the LED strip, joined then with some 3 pin cables and secured everything to the sign with a bit of hot glue: Overall there are 17 LEDs (6+5+6) in the so called 5050 format, meaning 5 x 5 mm LEDs. Idea was to use compatible WS2812B strip part to illuminate it. In addition to the normal fan I though it would be nice to have an custom sign with some letters from my name. You can also see the cable in the output port, this is for the following part. I wrapped some tape around the hub, so the exposed solder joints can’t touch anything, which could otherwise cause a short circut with other parts in the case. Then it goes to the 3 pin input directly: Nr. ![]() ![]() Actually only 3 pins are used, they use a wider header and don’t equip one pin to make wrong connections impossible, as wrong polarity would most certainly destroy the fans. The header connector cable to the previously made fan hub is really simple:įor the mainboard side I cut a 4 pin piece from a standard 0.1 in (2.54 mm) pitch header bar. I upgraded to an Gigabyte B550 Aorus Pro V2 and that what I am using for this project, it can provide up to 5A and control 1000 LEDs.Īs case I have a Fractal Design Meshify C Dark. Hardware Setupįirst of all a mainboard is required that has at least one header for 5V addressable RGB LEDs. Dark bright Mainboard RGB Fan Control with OpenRGBįinally following up on my previous post about the coolmoon controller mod, this post shows how to connect it with a mainboard header and do cool (pun intended) animations with OpenRGB. ![]()
