It's exactly this product:
https://www.amazon.com/Phanteks-Adapter-Specified-Control-PH-CB_RGB4P/dp/B01BZIBJAK
so it's a "RGB LED 4 Pin Adapter, Specified for Cases with Multi Colors RGB Control"
It seems to me it's a 5V RGB adapter for 12V RGB, or vice versa.
Or some sort of proprietary RGB control. RGB connectors are a mess nowadays.
Someone on /r/buildapcsales told me that you can convert the fan to standard ARGB using one of those cables meant for some types of RGB strips since they use the same 3-pin connector. Note, if you do this and it works it would mean the fan's speed and RGB will be handled by your motherboard and not the L-Connect software.
e.g. https://www.amazon.com/Phanteks-Adapter-Specified-Control-PH-CB_RGB4P/dp/B01BZIBJAK/
I have not tried this so I cannot verify it personally.
Don't know if anyone is following this post but in case anyone was wondering, I'm pretty certain I know what this connector is now (4 Pin jst-sm connector / 4 pin addressable LED) Phanteks appear to do an adaptor to regular motherboard headers for it: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01BZIBJAK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_QsS5Fb1214GNQ
This would probably work as long as they are 12v rgb where you can only change the whole fan to one color, and not the 5 volt individually addressable ones where you can control each led.

You will only be able to plug in one fan though, unless you can find a 4 pin rgb splitter cable or all of the fans already in the case are connected.
No, sorry for the confusion. I'm saying you don't need to stress to much because you can bypass the case controller all together by using an adapter and daisy chaining the quick connectors of the RGB components together.

Is what I'm talking about. It goes from motherboard header to quick connect. You would just need to get a 12v or 5v version depending on what RGB is in the case and what new rgb you are going to add.
I can post a picture of what it looks like in action if you want
Just be forewarned I used this in conjunction with a phanteks case so it was plug and play for me, but they sell an rgb adapter kit for use with any mobo that supports rgb : Phanteks RGB LED 4 Pin Adapter, Specified for Cases with Multi Colors RGB Control (PH-CB_RGB4P) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BZIBJAK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_JnpLCbGRJZHWH
I have a Phanteks P400S case and a Gigabyte K5 AX370 mobo.. just discovered a cheap adapter cable that is supposed to make my mobo RGB and case RGB flash in sync.. anybody know if this will work with this case and mobo setup?
Here is the adapter: Phanteks LED 4 Pin Adapter, Specified for Cases with Multi Colors RGB Control PH-CB_RGB4P https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01BZIBJAK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_BD4bBbP7QWHDX
If you have a phanteks case with an LED controller then the halos can go in there. If not, you'll need an adapter cable to connect it to your motherboard which you can find here.
Edit: I should add, the halo lux rings come with the adapter I think.
You need the Phanteks adapter for it to fit. Plug the adapter into your board, plug your strip into one spot and plug the case’s led header into the other spot. This will let you control your strip and the case with your mobo. Be sure to turn the case’s lights off or else it will throw the colors off.
Well if you don’t have the Phanteks adapter, then the cables won’t fit on your board’s header anyway. You can buy the adapter for $5 to control it with your motherboard. If you don’t want to do that or want to use the LEDs while waiting on the adapter you can attach them to your case’s LED header. You should be able to find the case’s LED header from the back of the case... I think it has a sticker labeling it as an RGB header. Each frame has a cable with a male and a female connector so connect one of the frames to the other one and then connect that one to your case’s LED cable. Then you can control the LEDs with the case’s rgb button next to the USB ports. Press once to change colors, press and hold for 2ish seconds to change modes, press and hold for 10ish seconds to turn off. If you do decide to get the adapter and still have issues with length, your motherboard actually comes with an RGB extension cable so you could plug the adapter into one end of that and then plug the other end into the mobo. Hope this helps; let me know if you have any questions.
If you're still using the P400S and that motherboard then you might consider getting the RGB adapter from Phanteks. It lets you connect the case RGB lights and your included RGB strip to the motherboards RGB header so that you could control both the case's lights and the strip with your mobo's RGB software.
Nothing came with the strip I bought. But, I noticed that this adapter was frequently bought together (with the PHANTEK LED strip). https://www.amazon.com/Phanteks-Adapter-Specified-Control-PH-CB-RGB4P/dp/B01BZIBJAK/ref=pd_sim_147_1?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01BZIBJAK&pd_rd_r=032ADFZV3PG8AA2HZ5BA&pd_rd_w=nwgFD&pd_rd_wg=xYNBq&psc=1&refRID=032ADFZV3PG8AA2HZ5BA
Is using this going to correct the colors?
So just a simple LED strip?
Basically any SMD 5050 LED strip on Amazon does the job. Most of them come with a power plug and a remote for customized colors and effects, some are waterproof and others are more densely packed (60 LEDs/meter seems to be normal but others only have 30 LEDs/m).
Your Enthoo Luxe also comes with an RGB LED connector (proprietary because the pins are reversed) but I believe you can even connect third party LED strips to it with their LED adapter. In that case you wouldn't need a power plug.
I was able to get a working solution by modding these cables

But it took me soldering and re-arranging pins, destroying a cable, before I figured it out. (It was a learning process for me).
Soldering was not needed as the pins come out the sockets if you're good at finagling them out without destroying the plug.
Also I had to destroy the female part on the plug as it took me forever to figure out that Phantek's cables for some odd reason re-arrange the wires around inside the female plug (like in pic2) to look like the following:
​
12V / G / R / B
(1) / (2) / (3) / (4) - female plug ports
get re-arranged inside the female plug to be
(1) / (4) / (2) / (3) - wires coming out.
Once I figure that out I rearranged them correctly and everything works.
You would need an adapter.
Something like this https://www.amazon.com/Phanteks-Adapter-Specified-Control-PH-CB_RGB4P/dp/B01BZIBJAK
Phanteks sell an adaptor.
The type of adaptor: PH-CB_RGB4P
https://www.amazon.com/Phanteks-Adapter-Specified-Control-PH-CB_RGB4P/dp/B01BZIBJAK
There are two different sizes that Lian Li uses. Small one for SL120/140 (Uni-Fan) and the larger connector is from the ST120/140. The link above is the small version. It's like $4.
You need one of these, since Phanteks has a proprietary header. Or you can learn to solder/splice wires.
Oh yeah, make sure you have an Phanteks to RGB header adapter for the Halo, as the Halo uses a proprietary RGB header. (Amazon Canada: https://www.amazon.ca/Phanteks-Adapter-Specified-Control-PH-CB_RGB4P/dp/B01BZIBJAK)
Yup! Phanteks sells an adapter. There's no actual standard for the pinouts on RGB LEDs or LED strips, so they're kind of mismatched right now. Chances are the Red pin on the header is directly connected to the Blue socket on the LED strip, etc. etc. If you're good at soldering or you have some breadboard jumpers laying around you can make your own little adapter that hooks the correct pins to the strip (they'll be marked on the MOBO and the strip both), or you can just buy the Phanteks adapter.
Edit: Amazon link
Hey there, in the same situation as well. I did a little digging, and found that you can buy this little converter cables here:

I get it tomorrow so I can confirm it works. But this is supposed to make the mother board recognize the case in iCUE, and of course this is all assuming you have a commander core/pro
> So... I think you're saying you don't need to drive anything but the LEDs built into the case, correct? And you specifically want to do it via software, not hardware?
Right. I was just asking whether the case lights (the 4 RGB strips and the RGB ring around the power button) can all be Y-connector-ed to one 12v header, or if that's too much to be putting on one header for voltage or current reasons. And yes, I want everything to be synced up in Aura.
> Generally, but isn't the JST SM connector 3-pin, rather than 4-pin? It is on my case, but it's possible you have something else.
The JST SM connectors coming out of the lights on my case are 4-pin, and Phanteks website (and Amazon) offers a cable that adapts this to the more standard 4 pin RGB connector. So it looks like I'll need two of those (the top cover and front panel lights are each already Y'd together, so you have one wire coming out of each) which I'll then Y together using a splitter with standard RGB connectors at both ends.
> I thought you meant general instructions for a wide range of hookups. If you just meant more comprehensive than they have now, I'd definitely agree with you.
I mean, even just a simple diagram of the RGB contoller's connections and a few notes about what the channels do would have been very helpful. I have no idea how this guy figured out what needs to be connected to what other than simple trial and error.
I’m fairly certain it’s one of these? https://www.amazon.ca/Phanteks-Adapter-Specified-Control-PH-CB_RGB4P/dp/B01BZIBJAK
Is there a 4 pin RGB connector which is thin enough to fit in my Gigabyte B450 Aorus Elite Mobo 5 pin Header without breaking the 5th pin?
(And this Phanteks Connector is just a plain lie, as the actual product is thicker than Mark Zuckerburg on a surfboard in Hawaii)

Funny I was searching online for the same and found your post.I think this has our answer: http://www.phanteks.com/Eclipse-P400A.htmlAnd more info in the manual: http://www.phanteks.com/assets/manuals/PH-EC400ATG.pdf
I can see it's stated as compatible with ASUS, MSI, GigabyteI'm not sure whether the adapter is provided, the PH-CB_RGB4P is not for P400S
I've used that on a non-addressable Asus Aura:https://www.amazon.com/Phanteks-Adapter-Specified-Control-PH-CB_RGB4P/dp/B01BZIBJAK
​
The P400a does seem to come with the 3pin RGB adapter that you plug into the Mobo.So long story short I would say yes your mobo should work.
