diablo13 Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 hi can someone give me the pinout from the thermaltake ring 12 rgb controller the 5 pin headers and also the single 5 pin port on the other side off the controller adelinevoc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThermalMike Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Hello, Unfortunately this is not something we normally provide. If you need the pin outs for modding, I suggest to get a voltmeter Now if a community member has the details and replies that is up to you if you want to use the info.

diablo13 Posted March 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 hi mike indeed i want to mod the controller i hate it i must everytime open my case to change color or to set my fans on lower or higher rpm why thermaltake not make something to use software for the controller with a usb port the second thing is that not all my 12 fans are sync must find some thing out that i have the controll for all the 12 fans with 1 button so i want to sodder a push button on the controller and make all the 4 controller togheter you think it will work ?

Daz Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 Quoted from karel1710 on the audrino.cc forum: "The pins are like this : (from left to right) 1 - speed (high low)2 - stop/start (when the rgb loop is running)3 - switch between the 4 predefined colours4 - seems to be ground5 - haven't found out yet" I have since used this info and modified my rig. The functions of my two controllers can now be activated (in sync) by the press of a button, located on the front panel of my H15 case. FYI - the spare 5 pin connector uses a Mini JST 2.0 socket. I used this to tap into the controller http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321879095200?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT ...and these are the buttons i used http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281903401655?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT pamarakos 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diablo13 Posted March 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 witch cable is the tacho signal from te 5 pins fan ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 I would guess it to be the middle pin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diablo13 Posted April 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 job done 9 fans sync with only 1 controller and i can change color on the front off my case see the thermaltake Facebook site to see my video regards pascal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azzy5463 Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 maybe someone could give a little information, maybe a guide on how they have managed to control multiple fans with just 3 buttons? I'm sure a lot of people would appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killswitch73 Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 OP .How are you controling the PWM signal ? Or are you only doing the speed by using the Aqausuite software ? I'm already using the standard none RGB none PWM fans in red through my aqua computer controller and I have to change the speed through the software or the provided remote . I would like to connect my 9 fans together and have the PWM so it ramps up on its own the hotter . I have ordered 3x3 boxes giving me 9 fans and 3 controllers . I only have 2 X PWM on my godlike motherboard and me too I have 2x 480mm rads . Will use spare as a exhaust at rear like yourself op .

pamarakos Posted August 13, 2016 Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 Hi all Can somebody tell me if there is one pin from the 5 pin connector of fans that supplies voltage only to the leds? Or is it shared with the 12v fan? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyderdyne Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 I also need the pinout for the 4 pin header on the north (opposite the 5-pin fan connectors) side. Already fried a controller and it takes almost a full week to get another one. I have this thing wired up to a molex and have tucked the unused signal wires into the shield that came with the cable. Only +12V and Ground are in play. On the 4 pin connector as it sits in the controller looking top (side with the buttons) down I have the following left to right: 4 - left - not used 3 - left center - not used 2 - right center - +12V 1 - right - Ground (striped cable) You could save everyone a lot of trouble here by using cables with the standard IEEE color scheme, although I am sure these all black ones are cheaper. I am following online pinout guides like this one.Please let me know before the second controller arrives. This is such a minor part of my project that I am already regretting choosing your products since apparently you have decided not to document them any more. Thanks.

This is such a minor part of my project that I am already regretting choosing your products since apparently you have decided not to document them any more. Thanks. I believe I had it upside down. Plugged it in the other way, and although I have fried the control portion, nothing is melting or popping any more. Apparently the way I had it was connecting power and ground to the signal RPM & PWM pins, which is why the PWM chip exploded. I used a multi-meter to continuity test the 5 fan pins and using another online guide I determined that there was continuity between the fan side pin 2 and the pin on the other end of the connector. Moving the bottom pin in that image to the top slot and moving the +12V pin right next to it seems to be the correct answer. Maybe I shoudl buy a second spare just in case though.

Ippo Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 Spiderdyne: I managed to power the fan only with an external 12V power source by connecting ground to pin 1 and 12V+ to pin 2. How do I power just the LED's from the same external 12V power source? (I did not use the controller) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
