Thermaltake Pacific RGB fittings + Riing plus fans

[eth100tx]

I've built system with the Thermaltake Pacific RGB fittings + Riing Plus fans only to discover the Thermaltake controllers are different and don't connect... The Riing controler attaches to usb and can chain. The Pacific RGB controler has an unused 5 pin connector that doesn't match with Riing controler chaining... Also the Pacific RGB (fittings) can't attach to the computer to control...

Thoughts?

The fittings have a 4 pin fan connector which drives the LEDs. Can I rewire to the 4 pin rgb headers on the motherboard?

Thanks.

The riing ( non +) fans can be modded.
Should be possible and similar mod for the fittings. Unfortunately, I do not have the fittings to test. Take apart the controller and test with a multimeter. http://www.overclock.net/forum/17-o...-rgb-fan-controlled-directly-arduino-uno.html

Looked into a bit more. To connect the Riing Plus to my Gigabyte Aorus you need a TT Sync Controller TT Premium Edition http://www.thermaltake.com/products-model.aspx?id=C_00003143

Seperately The RGB fitting appear to be standard 4 pin rgb leds. There are 6 leds per fitting and it's unclear how much I can wire up to the motherboard header without needing a seperate power circuit...

Glad you found the hub that is needed to work with your MB.

The problem I've also noticed over the years is a lot of these companies leave those specifics out leaving you blind to what the limits of said hardware are. It's frustrating since it could leave your build semi-finished but sometimes the company will bring out that kind of information. You might have to chase for it unfortunately.

There is a thread on thermaltakes website. the rgb fittings are 5v. so a 100ohm resistor allows it to work with a motherboard sync. - I plan on trying to get this to work using this method with thermaltake controller, haven't received all the parts yet so haven't been able to test it first hand.

not sure if linking is a allowed, but here it is.
