Hi all,
I was wondering about purchasing this for my case, https://www.amazon.com/RGB-LED-Light-Strip-Splitter/dp/B071DHPXDT/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1496320480&sr=8-1&keywords=rgb+splitter+cable+4+pin+1+to+5 but I was worried about signal degradation in the RGB LED's. Basically, the question I'm trying to ask is would the RGB LED's be dimmer because of the multitude of splitters? Please let me know if my question doesn't make sense. Thanks for your time!
> So... I think you're saying you don't need to drive anything but the LEDs built into the case, correct? And you specifically want to do it via software, not hardware?
Right. I was just asking whether the case lights (the 4 RGB strips and the RGB ring around the power button) can all be Y-connector-ed to one 12v header, or if that's too much to be putting on one header for voltage or current reasons. And yes, I want everything to be synced up in Aura.
> Generally, but isn't the JST SM connector 3-pin, rather than 4-pin? It is on my case, but it's possible you have something else.
The JST SM connectors coming out of the lights on my case are 4-pin, and Phanteks website (and Amazon) offers a cable that adapts this to the more standard 4 pin RGB connector. So it looks like I'll need two of those (the top cover and front panel lights are each already Y'd together, so you have one wire coming out of each) which I'll then Y together using a splitter with standard RGB connectors at both ends.
> I thought you meant general instructions for a wide range of hookups. If you just meant more comprehensive than they have now, I'd definitely agree with you.
I mean, even just a simple diagram of the RGB contoller's connections and a few notes about what the channels do would have been very helpful. I have no idea how this guy figured out what needs to be connected to what other than simple trial and error.
I'm going to try with this splitter and see what happens:
