Difference between ARGB and RGB 

RGB (Red, Green, Blue) lighting systems usually use a fixed combination of three colours and it is not possible to adjust the lighting effect by controlling the brightness of each colour individually.

ARGB (Addressable RGB) is more advanced and allows each light bead to be controlled independently, thus creating more diverse and dynamic lighting effects. Each LED light bead can display different colours and brightness, enabling a variety of special effects such as rainbow colour gradient, flashing and breathing lights.

Role of ARGB Cable

Connection and control: ARGB cable is mainly used to connect the hardware devices with the motherboard or controller to transmit control signals to achieve lighting effects. Through the RGB control interface on the motherboard, users can adjust the colour and mode of the lights.

Provide power: ARGB cable not only transmits control signals, but also provides power to the connected RGB light beads or other RGB devices.

Common Types of ARGB Cable

3-Pin (5V) ARGB Cable: Most modern motherboards use a 5V 3-pin ARGB connector. This cable is used for devices that support programmable RGB.

4-Pin (12V) RGB Cable: The traditional RGB interface is a 12V 4-pin connector, but it does not support controlling the colour of each LED bead individually, and does not allow dynamic effects like ARGB.
