thermaltakenewuser Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 Hi, my Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Xtreme comes with a RGB Fan Commander. If I buy the Trio 140mm RGB Fan, will this product work with the fans? Do I still need to buy the Thermaltake TT Sync SATA Powered 9 Port Addressable LED Controller Premium Edition? Thanks.

kewlmunky Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 I looked up the RGB Fan Commander, and it doesn't have the same connectors as the Riing Trio fans. The Riing Trio (and the rest of their addressable RGB products) use a 9 pin USB 2.0 header connector. You will still need to get the TT Sync 9 port controller to be able to control the lights with Gigabyte's software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thermaltakenewuser Posted March 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 Thanks. I looked the the RGB Fan Commander and the ports seem to be 9-pin. Maybe I got confused? If I don't need to sync with other RGB components, is the Digital Lighting Controller that comes with the Riing Trio fans good enough?

kewlmunky Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 There are quite a few lighting effects with the included controller. The software doesn't have a proper guide anywhere, though. So you'll have to do some tinkering and possibly look through the forums get everything figured out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thermaltakenewuser Posted March 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 I bought the Riing Trio 14 which came with a controller and also the TT Sync Premium Controller. Could you please let me know the following? 1. Which controller has more fancy color patterns? 2. Can I get the fancy color patterns from whatever controller that has more options and put it in the controller with less fancy color patterns?

kewlmunky Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 As far as I understand, the TT Sync conntroller does not have any options built in; it is an interface/translator so that motherboard lighting software can control Thermaltake products. You cannot "share" effects between controllers. Being you have both controllers already I would recommend you try out both. Hook everything up to one controller, explore the options, then switch to the other and do the same. See what you prefer. Just remember that with the TT sync controller you cannot use Thermaltake's software. You will use your motherboard software for the lighting and then run PWM cables between the TT sync controller and your motherboard fan headers to control fan speed.
