I need help with 5 pin grbw headers on a Gigabyte motherboard
is there a such a thing a 4 pin grb to a 5 pin grbw adapter? I can't find any anywhere to buy any. I know the W pin isn't necessary.
Thanks

Yes, there is. It's mentioned in this video at Paul's Hardware: The Trouble with RGB LEDs - YouTube. Here's a link to buy some for $0.81 apiece, in lots of 10. 10pcs 4 Pin RGB /5PIN RGBW Connector Adapter pin needle male type double,For RGB /RGBW 5050 3528 LED Strip light led accessories-in Connectors from Home Improvement on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group

OK, then. Now that your specs are more refined, I can't find anything either. You could probably build something yourself, though... Or, you can plow through this eBay search and see if anything useful pops out of it: 4 pin female to 5 pin male rgb to rgbw adapter | eBay
Wow! Aaargh! I feel your pain...

I don't see why that wouldn't work. Give it a try and let us know what happens. Thanks,

I got the strip to work with the Gigabyte RGB extender. However, The Female RGB header doesn't match the Male header pin length. I got it to work by holding the strip and the extender together.
I really don't want to hold the wires together all the time, I'm going to tape the two together. :)
Good plan! Tape doesn't get bored, and it doesn't stop you from doing other stuff! Thanks for the laugh, though...
