Here are the number of LEDs per accessory: If you surpass the limit of 40 LEDs then all additional LEDs will not power on. Keep in mind the number of devices that will function in a daisy chain depends on the total number of LEDs in the chain. If you are looking to add an RGB fan to the end of a daisy chain, the LED strip connection cable included with our twin/triple starter packs can be used in order to add a fan to the end of an RGB LED strip daisy chain. When adding LED strips and cable comb, you would use the included adapter cable (pictured below).ĭaisy-chaining LED strips to other RGB fans: For our Underglow accessory, these can be connected directly to the “OUT'' port on your fan. This is due to these two accessories not having additional connectors that would continue a daisy chain. These devices cannot be connected before any AER RGB fans. If you are looking to add Cable Combs or the Underglow, keep in mind that these devices will be the end of the daisy chain connected to the fans. NZXT AER RGB 2 140MM RGB CASE FAN These RGB case fans deliver optimal airow and advanced lighting effects powered by NZXT CAM. The larger end of this cable will go to your RGB controller and the smaller end will go to the “IN” port on the fan.Ĭonnecting additional fans is just as simple as well with the included fan to fan cable (pictured below).Ĭonnecting fans with this cable is easy, the larger end of the cable with the clip on it will connect to the “OUT” port on the fan and the smaller end will connect to the next fan in the chain in its “IN” port.ĭaisy-chaining AER RGB fans with other RGB accessories: Keep in mind that like previously mentioned there is a connection cable that will go from your controller to your RGB accessory. RGB Cable Comb Connection Cable (integrated with Cable Combs)ĭaisy-chaining AER RGB fans with other AER RGB fans: RGB Underglow Connection Cable (integrated with the first underglow LED strip) Keep in mind that all RGB accessories will include a cable that will allow you to connect the device to an NZXT RGB Controller. Any LEDs over 40 will be recognized in CAM but will not be able to be powered.Some mixed devices may have uneven amounts of integrated LEDs, which can cause certain combinations to go over this 40 LEDs limit.All of our RGB controllers, regardless of generation, have a limit of 40 LEDs per channel.Gen 2 devices do have this functionality using a Gen 2 controller. Gen 1 products do not have the ability to daisy chain different types of RGB devices on the same channel.In this article, we’ll detail the steps and restrictions for daisy-chaining multiple different types of NZXT RGB Accessories. This is made possible through connection cables that go between many different NZXTproducts.

TL DR don't plug AERs into RGB headers even though they appear to fit properly.All of our NZXT RGB Accessories can be daisy-chained with each other to improve the cable management of your build. At least the fans themselves still spin properly. RIP my AERs, having donated their LEDs to science. With the test concluded, I plugged the fans back into the NZXT fan controller and now all the LEDs are dead and the controller doesn't pick up any signal from them.

Upon loading into windows I tried using AURA sync to adjust the lighting (since I have an ASUS board) and to my surprise it actually worked in limited capacity to perform the breathing effect, but not change colors. On boot up, I heard an electric crackle which was probably not a good sign.

Here are my results:īetween my two AERs, one of them has a portion of its LEDs glow red and the other in blue, the rest simply not lighting up at all. I noticed that the RGB cable on the AER 2 that fits into the NZXT fan controller/hue2 also fits on the motherboard header, and I didn't find anything online about what happens when you plug it in there.
