Do you need a controller for RGB lights?

The “Rainbow” 3-pin headers are Addressable RGB (ARGB) connectors. It looks like you’re installing more than 8 lighting units and you only have two ARGB connectors and one RGB connector…so you need either splitters or a controller. A controller has additional power (SATA) to run several units.

Are DRGB and Argb the same?

RGB and ARGB Headers RGB or ARGB headers are both used to connect LED strips and other ‘lighted’ accessories to your PC. That’s where their similarity ends. An RGB header (usually a 12V 4-pin connector) can only control colors on a strip in a limited number of ways. That’s where ARGB headers come into the picture.

ARGB has 3 pins but some motherboards, eg Gigabyte, have 4 pins connectors with one pin missing.

Can you use multiple Argb controllers?

Yes, you can do exactly that. I have to assume the one light strip on the ARGB header is ARGB, and the two new BitFenix fans you cite are also ARGB type. Connecting the lighting portions of those three items to a single ARGB mobo header is normally well within the header’s power limits, so no problem.
