Coolmoon RGB Controller Connections and Pinouts.

The Coolmoon RGB controller is a budget controller that offers a lot but with its proprietary connections it can be a pain to get everything within your system synchronised. In this video we explain the different connections on the controller as well as the pinout so you can tap into it for all your ARGB components.

Thanks for this video dude! My case came with it's own rgb hub and led strip, but I had a separate for my fans that's exactly like coolmoon. My case led strip is only 3 pins, and I've tried plugging it to my fan hub, which accepts 4 pin for the led strip. Now it's broken. I bought another led strip but it's 3 pin again. Thankfully the strip is labelled now, so I was able to make it work even with the different connectors thanks to your explanation on the pins.

Thank you for this info. I have this exact model controller and this answered every question I had explicitly.

Buen video, ahora quedo claro con el tipo de conexión y también ya se que se pueden combinar con otras marcas al controlador coolmoon

Many thanks for the info mate just what i needed for my controller from coolmoon . 8-)

[EndritBraho-lyvq]

thank you you. helped me a lot. because my motherboard has four pins. very valuable modification and rgb all turn on in the same way

[TomahawkFare]

hello, I would like to disable completely the RGB of all fans when I turn on the Pc. Is it possible to do it on the molex connector or the red one connecting to the hub itself?

[profchaos]

thank you, my controller is suck and dead, the LED on the fan now at maximum and so fricking bright, now i'm about to cut that 5v LED pin. I also wonder if we can mod a typical fan case with 3or4 pin to plug them into that hub (only using 2 pin only the left side: 12v+ground)?

Hi! I bought new one today, however after few minutes, the remote controller stopped to work. I mean, it has the red led when I push a button, however, I makes no reaction to the remote controller. Do you know what could be the reason?

[electrotsmishar]

Thank you. Can you please make a tutorial on the manual switch headers where we can attach a switch to toggle different states. Can we change brightness with that?
[update: I have attached a switch. It can be used to change the LED effects or turn it off. But, cannot control the fans without the IR remote]

[davidjames]

Can you help me to pair RF coolmoon remote to coolmoon controller?

[mr.moonface]

I got a Coolmoon controller and tryed to use it whit some fans I had from a 3x RGB fan kit whit they're own... Non RGB basic controller... So I decided to use the fans with the Coolmoon fan and for my worst it didn't work

[keisuke]

Sir please help. How can i turn this rgb on, i have coolmoon as well. My lights are off i cant turn them back on because my remote controller is dead. Please help

[cibermesias]

What happens if you connect the input next to the power connector?

[gabrielegalli]

hello .... a question i watched the video but i have a doubt my pc has a schrkoon case with 3 argb fans supplied and an argb controller on the back but my motherboard (asus) does not support aura creator I wanted to know if the effects of the argb are regulated by the motherboard or if with a controller like this (Rgb controller CoolMoon) I can have more light games and a software to control the whole pc or a physical controller
thank you very much I wait for an answer

[YeralReloaded]

Do you think I can use this converter to connect a cooler master fan and control it through the coolmoon adapter?

[gregpolachuk]

Great video. I've had one of these for about 6 months now I've actually purchased the "new" ones that have pwm + argb standard pin outs and can do pwm and argb motherboard Any chance you see any way to "mod" this one however to allow pwm?

[jonathandallorso]

My case has ARGB fans and strips, and a IN VDG connector with 3 pins but with just two wires. I suppose I can wire my coolmoon controller, taking the DATA OUT from one fan or led strip from the controller to the VDG IN, but how? Thanks in advance for your help.

I haave the cool moon with the 3 pin input connector, but have just aquired a asus strix h270f motherboard thats has a 4 pin header for rgb, is the a cable that connects the 4 pin rgb header ti the coolmoon 3 pin header, as i have thise exact fans and they claim to be aurora compatible
