Doublejayz Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 I just got a new case and found this connecter for a front rgb strip what is a 4pin port for? it's attached to the sata power I don't find anything in the manual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggsk Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 Hey Doublejayz! Did you ever figure this out? I'm in the same boat as you and am not sure what to plug it into. Im afraid of damaging something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormforce Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 Hi all, Just putting my new PC together and I am also stumped on where the 4 pin is supposed to connect to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doublejayz Posted October 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 I tried questioning in Thermaltake support but I don't get no reply so I'm leaving it that way. It should lable something on it I don't know even it's input or output. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tack Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 I don't own this case so cant work out the circuit to be sure and could be completely wrong just sort of guessing as to what would use a 4pin cable That connector could to be for the option to use your digital rgb header on your motherboard. So you can use the motherboards software to control the case lighting. However with the lack labeling it is hard to call and would not attempt without checking if it is supplying voltage . on the other hand it could be outputting a rgb signal so if you want to add a rgb strip in your pc however it does seem to be lacking in any information as to this connector. Did any adapter come with the case accessory that connects to that? if one of you have a multimeter you can check the voltage on the 2 outer pins using the case as a ground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogrenero Posted December 13, 2019 Report Share Posted December 13, 2019 Anch'io ho lo stesso problema, ieri per curiosità ho verificato con il tester la tensione di uscita dei 4 pin, ce ne sono 2 di 12 V uno di 7 (non capivo molto a cosa potesse servire) e una massa , oggi smantellerò la parte anteriore del caso e farò alcune foto. Today I finally disassembled the front of the case, I noticed that at the end is a very common 5v addressable led strip with 2 rgb switch pins, today I will bypass this switch and connect it to the thermalake control unit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zednaught Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 Don't mean to necro a thread, but I thought someone may find this useful. I tapped into that connector to create a 3 pin JST for a 5v addressable RGB strip. From the bottom picture (clip on top of the 2.54 JST four pin connector) Left to Right: 1. rgb data 2. 5v 3. common ground 4. 12v That end, in JST, is called the FEMALE connector, as that is driven by the connector (and not the pins). So I re-pinned a four pin (removing the 12v line) on a male connector, then soldered the lines: 5v data and ground, in the order for a female three pin JST 2.54 pitch, which plugged directly into my LED strip. My case came with three argb fans on that connector (from Skytech) with the same custom four pin JST. Full on 12v fans with no control. Moved two exhaust out (and replaced with MB header driven fans) and put a 47 ohm 1 watt resistor in the 12v line to slow the rear exhaust down a bit. Love my H200 TG, but the wiring is confusing with no explanation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zednaught Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 Check the orientation of the pins. I may have them 'upside down', but you can trace the 5v, ground and 12v from the sata and the remaining line is the argb data. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miso Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 So did you get the front of the case to work with a rgb controller? Bought this tower with the intent to connect it to a corsair node pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zednaught Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 I wired up the rear fan and an led strip running off of the case controller (so they work with the front strip off the native Tt controller). That is just solid blue right now. I have the strip between the motherboard mount and the back panel, so it is a backlight. I then have a couple of straight RGB fans running off the asrock RGB header, and a set of intake fans (and another strip) running off of the asrock argb header. Looks like a party in there. It is black and white with one blue rear exhaust and two orange top fans. I even got an 'Aperture Laboratories' magnet sticker on the shelf, so it is sort of Portal themed. I think the case front LEDs are wired straight to the case controller. You would probably have to disassemble the front to see the LED strip and small built-in argb controller card. I don't know how you could drive the case lights from a board header, though. I am sure it could be accomplished, but was not something I did.

And if you use these do you still have to use the 5 front panel wires? (Powerled, hddled, etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Añobelix Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 Hi, you must connect the sata and de argb, of the vdg conector plug th "D" in the middle conector of argb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
