Lian Li 8 Pin VGA strimer connection

Hi!

It's my first post so hopefully I am not messing anything!

I got these 2 cables:

STRIMER 8-PIN RGB PCIE VGA POWER CABLE

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/lian-li-strimer-8-pin-rgb-pcie-vga-power-cable-cm-018-ll.html

https://ibb.co/nmWtZwS

and

STRIMER PLUS ADDRESSABLE RGB 24 PIN MOTHERBOARD CABLE

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/lian...e-rgb-24-pin-motherboard-cable-ca-787-ll.html

The VGA cable connectors don't fit the 24 PIN controller.

In description it says - Compatible with mainboards with digital 3-pin RGB header - My mobo is Asus TUF X570 which has only 4PIN ARGB headers. Any advice how to make the 8 PIN cable to work please? Should I should buy some sort of splitter or anything?

Thanks for looking

They are not compatible with your motherboard RGB. The strips are 5V Addressable, your board is 12V non addressable.

You need an addressable RGB controller + software.

If you have lighting channels available, you may be able to get some adapters for Corsair Commander / Lighting Node Pro. I am currently using a Barrow addressable RGB block and a Bykski addressable RGB block with the use of adapters.

Looking up the asus tuf x570 it does have a 3 pin 5volt addressable header on the top right of the board just above the 24 pin motherboard slot.

It also has 2*4 pin non-addressable rgb headers that are not comaptible at thte top and bottom of the motherboard on the right side.
