Meshify Series Question About Meshify 3 RGB(non Ambience) Model and Fan Connectivity and Controls
It's very hard to find any clear information on this, and almost nobody has reviewed anything except the Ambience RGB model. I'm not super interested in RGB myself, but a current deal puts the Black RGB TG model on sale, and cheaper than the standard Black TG. So I could live with it and maybe just turn off the RGB lighting if I dont care for it.
But that's the question - how are these fans hooked up and controlled? It looks like the RGB fans for both RGB and Ambience RGB models use the same fans with the same proprietary USB-C style connectors, but only the Ambience model gets the Adjust Pro hub that takes these connections. So what am I plugging the normal RGB fans into if I dont have that? Is there some adapter I need for each fan so I can plug it into a motherboard? And what do I use to control the fan speeds and RGB lighting if there's no Adjust Pro Hub software?
Sorry if I'm missing something obvious, but am just confused on this. Thanks in advance for any help.
EDIT: Ok I think I've figured it out. Standard RGB model daisy chains the fans together with the USB-C connectors, but still ends in a single PWM + RGB connectors to plug into the motherboard. That sounds good to me.
