By combining these three colours at different intensities, displays can produce more than 16 million colours.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There are two main types of RGB lighting: RGB is the older standard, while ARGB\/DRGB is the latest technology available.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You may also be able to alternate between numerous display effects with RGB lighting. These include Rainbow, Gradient, Reactive, Chase, and Colour Cycles.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>RGB lighting can be controlled with compatible software or a dedicated controller.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Most manufacturers of RGB lighting hardware have their own dedicated control software, such as ASUS Aura Sync or Corsair iCUE.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To use a controller for customising your RGB lighting, it will usually require a USB header on your motherboard and a SATA power connector.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If using software to control your RGB lighting, you must take your motherboard\u2019s RGB headers into account.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A 12V 4-pin header has no data stream, which means you can\u2019t customise individual LEDs. Meanwhile, the 5V 3-pin header has a data stream that allows you to customise the colour, brightness, and lighting effect of each LED.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is RGB Lighting?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">RGB stands for <strong>Red\/Green\/Blue<\/strong> and is a type of lighting that utilises all three of these colours to simulate over 16 million colours. RGB intelligently adjusts the intensity of the red, green, or blue to produce virtually any hue.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Mach3-SetUp-Landscape-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-50885\"\/ loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Mach3-SetUp-Landscape-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Mach3-SetUp-Landscape-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Mach3-SetUp-Landscape-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Mach3-SetUp-Landscape-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Mach3-SetUp-Landscape-2-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are two main types of RGB lighting.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>RGB<\/strong> \u2013 this is the older standard, which can only show one colour at a time.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>ARGB\/DRGB<\/strong> &#8211; is the latest technology and stands for addressable\/digital RGB, and allows you to customise each of the LEDs to display a variety of colours at the same time.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you adjust the LEDs, you are changing their intensity to configure both the colour and effect. The effect can range from subtle splashes of colour to all-out dramatic attention-grabbing displays. Some of the most common effects include:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Rainbow\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Colour Cycle&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gradient&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reactive&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chase\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do You Control RGB Lighting?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">RGB lighting can be controlled via compatible software or a dedicated controller. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re trying to use software to control your RGB, you\u2019ll need to make sure that:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>You are using the correct software based on your motherboard or peripheral manufacturer\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>You have taken into account what RGB headers you are using\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each manufacturer has their own dedicated control software, such as ASUS Aura Sync. These will enable you to control the lighting on compatible devices, which could include RGB accessories, peripherals, RAM, and even GPUs. To double-check which software you need to download, we recommend you check any official product manuals or websites. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your motherboard can have two types of RGB connectors \u2013 a <strong>12V 4-pin<\/strong> and a <strong>5V 3-pin<\/strong>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-930feb06 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12V 4-pin Header&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 4-pin header is often referred to as a non-addressable RGB connector. This header has four pins that are used for red, green, blue, and ground, and has no data stream. This means you can\u2019t edit the individual LEDs. Every LED will be on the same circuit and display the same colour.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5V 3-pin Header&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alternatively, a 3-pin header is used for ARGB\/DRGB. The header features three pins for power, data, and ground, with a data stream that gets spread across each of the three pins. This data stream means you can control each individual LED, customising the colour, brightness, lighting effect, and more.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"384\" src=\"https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/RGB-pin-headers.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10298\" style=\"width:860px;height:auto\"\/ loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/RGB-pin-headers.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/RGB-pin-headers-300x177.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/RGB-pin-headers-580x343.jpg 580w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can\u2019t just plug anything into these headers, as they both have different voltages. Plugging the incorrect component into the header risks short-circuiting your motherboard and damaging your hardware. What\u2019s more, you can only control components with the corresponding RGB LEDs, as a 3-pin header isn\u2019t compatible with hardware that utilises a 4-pin header.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My Motherboard Has None of These \u2013 What Do I Do?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your motherboard doesn\u2019t feature an RGB or ARGB header, you can use an RGB controller. These controllers typically require a USB header on your motherboard and a SATA power connector.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"f-product-wrapper alternative-layout\"><div class=\"product-image\"><!-- <div class=\"tag-list\"><a href=\"#\">in stock<\/a><\/div> --><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"feed-product-image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/dw\/image\/v2\/BLRM_PRD\/on\/demandware.static\/-\/Sites-master-catalog-ocuk\/default\/dwce9be9cb\/images\/data\/product\/76\/05e667\/8b20df48cbcb312ac83f7b2a41dffd5541e6f9d9.jpg?sw=800\" alt=\"Kolink Inspire L2 4-Pin 12V RGB Controller - SATA\" \/ loading=\"lazy\"><\/div><div class=\"product-wrapper\"><h3>Kolink Inspire L2 4-Pin 12V RGB Controller &#8211; SATA<\/h3><p class=\"sku\">CA-05W-KK<\/p><p class=\"pricing\"><span class=\"odd-price\"> \u00a38.99 GBP<\/span> <span class=\"main-price\">\u00a3 1.99 GBP<\/span><\/p><span class=\"discount-percent\">-77.86%<\/span><p class=\"vat-info\">(incl.

An RGB controller often has its own software included and won\u2019t use your motherboard\u2019s corresponding control software. However, similar to the 4-pin and 3-pin headers, you need to make sure your hardware is compatible, especially if you are looking to synchronise your entire set-up through one piece of software.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Mach-5g-Lifestyle_PC_side-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"OcUK Gaming Mach 5G lifestyle\" class=\"wp-image-56439\"\/ loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Mach-5g-Lifestyle_PC_side-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Mach-5g-Lifestyle_PC_side-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Mach-5g-Lifestyle_PC_side-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Mach-5g-Lifestyle_PC_side-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Mach-5g-Lifestyle_PC_side-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Software Do I Need to Control My RGB Lighting?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What software you need all depends on your hardware, with both motherboard and peripheral manufacturers creating their own dedicated control hubs. This is why we recommend you refer back to any official manufacturer information, as this will detail what software you need to instal.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the meantime, we\u2019ve broken down some step-by-step instructions on how to control your RGB lighting.

These can be displayed by your PC or connected peripherals, such as a mouse and keyboard.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-7\">What is the difference between RGB and ARGB\/DRGB?\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-8 wp-block-paragraph\">Standard RGB is an older format, where the LEDs cannot typically be controlled individually. As such, the lighting is usually limited to displaying a single colour. Conversely, ARGB\/DRGB is the newer standard and allows you to tweak each LED\u2019s colour, brightness, and more for a more varied display.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9\">How do I control RGB lighting on my PC?\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-10 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"border-top-left-radius:81px;border-top-right-radius:81px;border-bottom-left-radius:81px;border-bottom-right-radius:81px\">RGB lighting can be controlled using the manufacturer\u2019s compatible software or via a dedicated RGB controller. Programs you may need to use include ASUS Aura Sync, Corsair iCUE, Razer Synapse, and more.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-11\">What is the difference between 3-pin and 4-pin RGB headers?\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-12 wp-block-paragraph\">A 12V 4-pin header is used for RGB lighting and possesses no data stream, which means all LEDs are bound to one circuit and can only display a single fixed colour. Meanwhile, a 5V 3-pin header is used for ARGB \/DRGB lighting and includes a data stream that allows LEDs to be controlled individually across the full RGB spectrum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-13\">Can I use a 3-pin ARGB device with a 4-pin RGB header?\u00a0\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-14 wp-block-paragraph\">You cannot use a 3-pin ARGB device on a 4-pin RGB header.
