Currently, I'm planning to use 5 ARGB coolermaster fans. I'm not a fan of cooler master's software (master plus). Are there any global ARGB softwares, that work across multiple brands? Or can I decide to use an ARGB controller of a different brand (corsair for example), then use their software?

Basically I'm asking if there's any solution to avoid using cooler master's software, other than buying different fans. I'm using an MSI Motherboard if that helps.

As title says, I have 6 MF120 fans and Lian-Li GPU and ATX Strimers which are all split via a splitter cable that goes MoBo - Splitter out 1 - Lian-Li Controller to ATX & GPU Strimers (old controller with 4 buttons, only MB sync no smart control via software)

Splitter out 2 - CM Hub that has all fans in parallel and mirrored.

I want a controller which will let me control all fans and the strimers separately and have effects run from one to another and not mirrored.

It should probably connect to the Mobos USB2.0 header as I only have one ARGB header on it.

I realize i could probably connect the Lian-Li Controller straight to the Mobo argb with no splitter and the new addressable controller to the USB2.0

Are there any budget solutions? as the only ones I found on AliExpress were just parallel hubs and I'm not up-to buying corsair ones and connector converters.

Thanks in advance :)

Hi reddit, i've downloaded cooler masters rgb led controller software, My fan controller is connected to my Z170 motherboard on the internal USB2.0 header. And the mode on the controller is set to external argb. But there is no light at all. I have tested it with the patterns built into the H500M software. Please note there is no RGB header on my mobo.

Have i installed the wrong software? if so where do i find the right one.
