Hello all. Great power supply! I just can't figure out how to activate the RGB lighting.

During my research, I came across this article: https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?107040-ROG-THOR-850W-Can-t-connect-RGB-to-MAXIMUS-XI-GENE

Apparently you can't combine it directly. Am I missing an adapter or something similar? Thanks for the answers in advance!

Accepted Answer

In the meantime, I have come up with the solution myself. I have an ASUS ROG mainboard that is compatible with ASUS Aura. Unfortunately, the old and analogue 4-pin 12-volt connection is still used on the mainboard. The power supply with 3 pins works digitally. So it doesn't work, not even with an adapter. You would probably have to convert. 

I found this: [Deepcool RGB converter](https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/product/deepcool-rgb-konvertor-modding-beleuchtung-14486870)

But I would still have to check whether the connections are correct. But even if they are, you can only display individual colours and not use the full RGB programme - that's unfortunate. I probably just bought the wrong mainboard. It's actually a pity that ASUS ROG is not compatible with ASUS ROG. But at least I'm smarter about it now.

Answer

Hi Leoly! Did you connect the cable with the 2 pins and 3 or 4 pins at the bottom left to the board and Aurora software on it?
