Hippomedon Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 I purchased a pre-built system with a 5 fan Riing Plus RGB configuration. The controller is aThermalTake 5 port RGB fan controller. I would like to add another two Riing Plus RGB fans. The motherboard is an ASUS PRIME Z370-P. I do not think this motherboard has an RGB header. What are my options? If i replace the 5 port controller with the 9 port premium controller, will I be able to us it if there is no RGB header on the motherboard? Does the 5 port fan controller connect via USB instead of an RGB header? I think an easy way would be to get another 5 port controller and daisy chain it, but I have not been able to find them sold separately from the fans. Thank you!

Tack Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 The riing plus controller run via usb and doesn't require any rgb header. The TT sync controller does require a rgb header. As for another controller give support a call I am sure they can hook you up. Hippomedon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippomedon Posted July 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 Thanks Tack. Does the riing plus controller monitor temperatures somehow? If I choose PWM in the software, the fans seem to speed up and slow down depending on workload, but it's not clear where they are getting monitoring data from.
