THERMALRLGHT's rgb & lighting lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here.

Key Features
- 【 Stable output 】 The ARGB and FAN hub is a direct output of SATA power supply, which can maintain stable output under high load conditions. The overall black color ensures stable functionality
- 【 Support for ARGB and PWM 】 Not only does it support devices with lighting such as ARGB fans and ARGB light strips, but it also supports interfaces for PWM fans. After connecting to the motherboard, they can achieve lamp effect synchronization of 3PIN 5V light interfaces and synchronous speed of PWM fans
- 【 Convenient installation 】 Equipped with strong double-sided stickers, FAN and ARGB HUB hubs can be fixed to the appropriate chassis position according to your needs. It is simple, safe, and guaranteed, and can be installed according to the manual
- 【Detailed Description】 This product has a red interface for PWM speed recognition. Due to the limitation of the PWM motherboard IC reading principle, only a single fan speed inserted into the red interface is recognized
- 【Matters needing attention】Please note that this HUB cannot adjust the fan speed and color of the fan lights. Please connect the power interface of this product to the 4-pin PWM interface of the motherboard. The light interface of this product should be connected to the 5V 3-pin ARGB interface of the motherboard. If connected to the wrong interface, it may cause damage to the HUB
- Attention: This product only serves to expand the fan interface and lighting interface, and does not have the function of controlling speed and adjusting lighting.
