Rgb fans work but rgb itself doesn't work on msi b85-g43 gaming mobo

I've already seen that page, I need to find the downloadable instructions for the setup.

And unfortunately your motherboard does NOT support aRGB/RGB headers so those cables you're holding in your hand can not be connected to the board

You can connect the fans, but as you noted you won't get the RGB function of the fans. Thus your fan kit needs to include an aRGB/RGB fan node. That's why I was looking for the instructions to see if it had one as it is still possible to run the fan's RGB lighting from the node.

I gave the link to the fan kit which I hope directed you to the right location. I couldn't find any instructions that have the download able instructions but here is a picture of the ones that came into my box

It looks like this is what I'd need but I'd need more then 1 led port

There's no way I can read those.



Something like that. And I can't believe that hub doesn't provide a connection to run those lights. Unless that was to be purchased as a separate unit. That said, are you sure you don't have a cable adapter to connect the fan's RGB cables to the hub?

BTW, Corsair provides a light node with some of their fan kits such as this one...



The Commander Pro in not needed unless you're funning a few fans and LED light strips. The two fan kit on the left come with everything you need and doesn't rely on the motherboard. In fact, though Gigabyte does support aRGB lighting, it doesn't support Corsair's lighting system. But that's a different story for another time.

I'm sure your kit is better quality then mine. But I'd rather not buy a whole new setup if I can help it. I'm surprised I can't find a USB header to rgb cable or something. It seems like you can find just about anything else.

You're missing the point and taking it personal. I am in no way telling you to buy Corsair, nor are the the ONLY ones who supply a whole kit. My point is you need a whole kit.

Good luck.

I'm not taking anything personal

I decided to return the fans and get different ones.

I got Cooler Master Masterfan MF120 Halo Duo Ring and the razer chroma controller which I am aware the Cooler Master Masterfan MF120 Halo Duo-Ring already comes with the controller that takes the place of the rgb header but the razer chroma seems to give you more play then the cooler Master controller.

Thank you everyone for your help I really appreciate it.
