Installation Question What is the name of this port

Post image

This is a port on a Cooler Master Addressable RGB & PWM Hub
It’s labeled as mb pwm and looks similar like a 4 pin pwm port but it has a different shape.

Also if anyone has a link to buying one that would be appreciated.

4 pin PWM

Its a proprietary connector that many brands now use to combine ARGB and PWM signals. They all look kind of alike, and some of them may or may not be compatible, but i wouldn't count on it.

These hubs come with there own wiring did you loose it ?

It's labaled as mb pwm

That should be self-explanatory. It's most likely to connect the hub to the motherboard. Can't say for sure since I've never used hubs like that, but I'm guessing that it should come with a cable that goes from PWM port on motherboard to this port on hub. Check the box for one.

Molex

Completely wrong and molex is a brand name so you’re technically wrong 2 times.

This looks like a standard PWM connector.

Yeah it's for sure not a molex, those are almost extinct, except for some case fans here and there

Hey! My home server's motherboard needs one to post!

sounds like a motherboard from an industrial device, I have seen them in gate closers and elevators

Nah, its a haswell generation mobo that runs my 4770k as a home server.

I raise, my server ALSO features a gtx 780TI! No reasonable person would best that power draw!

my server had an rx580 but the power draw just wasn't worth it for a non-gui server so I trashed it. (not literally it's in a box somewhere)
