ThermaltakeTT Sync SATA Powered 9 Port Addressable LED Controller TT Premium Edition (Compatible with ASUS Aura Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion and MSI Mystic Light Sync) CL-O015-PL00BL-A,1 Pack

This interfaces with TT's proprietary fans and enables the motherboard RGB header to handle the lighting. I use it with two 200mm Riing Trio fans and no issues after months of use. It's a shame the in-the-box controllers for these fans just never work right, but at least the company offers a working solution.

This is a great device. I'm using it on my MSI Prestiege X570 Creation board on a jrainbow port. It works like a charm requiring only the wire that comes with the device to be plugged into the device and the header on the motherboard plus one sata connection for power. It does not require power.The only limitation is that it all is treated as one zone of LED so everything is the same color. If you are using these for fans it also has connections for PWM fan control which is huge. I didn't need this aspect of the device because I'm using it for the RGB in the Thermaltake RGB fittings for water cooling so I cannot comment on how well PWM works but it is there.I wish that this device had a magnetic back instead of requiring velcro. It's minor so I didn't ding a star for the omission but my Corsair Commander Core XT devices in the machine are magnetic and it makes them easier to work with. Hopefully one day a future revision of this will have the feature too.

Product was surprisingly shipped out. I mean that exactly how I typed it. They actually shipped it. Other Thermaltake products took weeks to ship, not this item. To bad it doesn't work as intended. Thermaltake has problems all the way around, from shipping, to returns, to quality control. The fan controller has a bad port. All of my other fans work, except that one on that bad port. I imagine that's not all that's not working, as my Aura Sync can't control the fans, as this product is supposedly for. It does not function in those regards.Not the first product from Thermaltake that had some problems.I'd avoid Thermaltake until they get their act together. They make nice LOOKING products, that function great on paper, but not in real life.I regret going the thermaltake route.

Someone who wants to hook up their LED fans to their motherboard to sync all the lighting in their case probably cares about keeping a tidy case, so the mounting options should be something with a little bit of thought put into it. The velcro provided was poor quality, I'm skeptical if it's really 3M like the backing says. The adhesive stuck to the controller, then the velcro itself ripped off of the adhesive so now I have a sticky square on my controller but not sticky enough to hold the velcro on. I'm also disappointed that there is no other mounting options besides velcro (maybe a screw hole or two in the case to attach it somewhere, or a loop to run a zip tie through?). In the end I rigged up velcro straps around the whole thing to hold it in a convenient place.I'm also disappointed in the instructions that are out of date and/or just wrong. They said I needed to use the 3-pin RGB cable for my Gigabyte motherboard, but my z390 Aorus Master has 4-pin ARGB headers which match the 4-pin cable that came with the controller. The 4-pin cable worked fine for me.Also a minor nitpick - the cable sheathing on all of the products in this line are excessive and make them hard to route and manage well in a small area.EDIT: Coming back to add a new issue I've had. I can't 100% attribute this to the fan controller vs the motherboard, but it seems to likely be this controller. If I have another ARGB LED product plugged into my motherboard at the same time as this, the other product flickers colors once in a while. The moment I remove the fan controller from the motherboard the flickering stops. The fans from this controller never flicker no matter how many ARGB products are hooked up, but other devices flicker if connected at the same time as this controller.

Bought this controller for the Riing plus fans and controller set previously purchased. The controller that came with the fans only allowed power to pass through, so the fans would spin, but no lights and no control could be had. The Riing plus app. did not work and would not "find" the controller. The Thermaltake TT Premium Edition LED Controller got the fans to work as they should. (A sale by design?) For power I had to get an adapter cable to connect the SATA to my 4 pin molex. The three pin connector plugged into the 5 volt port on the MB, ( Gigabyte Z390 Ultra) The fans plugged into the hub. kicked the power back on and I had fans with the lights! Down loaded the Gigabyte Fusion app. and control was mine. So far all is well. If a change should occur I will edit this post and share the info.

There is no clear way to bridge 2 of these for your computer. I have 15 fans and 1 cpu block. Sadly any attempts to bridge 2 of these were met with failure or significant slow speed on the fans connected to the second Sync. Not sure if I am doing something wrong. Other than that good product.
