I just upgraded my computer with some new parts. I added a little bit of fun with the Wraith Prism fan for my Ryzen CPU. I also got some good Corsair memory with some RGB. Well, my wife saw it and really liked it and wants me to get some more for the fans and a strip or two. Who knew she would like something like this so much.
Well, to please the wife, I'm going to be adding at least 2 140mm RGB fans. I have 2 front fans also but they are covered up, although a little RGB light may get out of the side panel so, maybe 2 more either 120 or 140mm fans there too.
I don't know a lot about the RGB scene, other than it is just a novelty, and doesn't do much for the computer other than add a little fun. What is your recommendation of places to watch or read about the RGB devices.
What are your recommendations for fans and strips?
I have an Asus ASUS ROG STRIX B550-A GAMING
It has 3 RGB headers. One is an addressable Gen 2, 3 pin header and the other two are just RGB headers. How can I hook up 2 to 4 fans to RGB? Also, I am using a fan controller, but nothing associated with RGB type fan controller.
Can someone at least steer me in the right direction?
Thanks.

Has anyone on here had experience with the Cooler Master MasterFan MF120 HALO Addressable RGB? I Like the looks of it better than the others.

Is Addressable RGB better than RGB? I am a newbie and can read all there is, but until I actually experience it and work with it, I won't know for sure and depend and great people on these forums.

Thanks.

Addressable is 5v and can do more colors and effects.
That one has a daisy chain...should be easy to hookup.
