I am an electrician, when I do something for someone, regardless of pay, I don't leave half done things - it is at least dangerous. I can not contribute - I am User Vulgaris, who really really hates MS, zero skills at coding. And attitude - be grateful for what is given - is wrong, I spent around 20 min, trying to install and use this soft with no results - basically, I should be grateful for something I can not use. I understand community thing, but I find this practice wrong, where One should have programming knowledge to use simple software - "his application is for RGB lighting.which has kinda become synonymous with frivolous features.". No one is expecting you to prioritize this over anything else. Or maybe you should complain to the manufacturers who neglected to provide support to begin with.Īlso.this application is for RGB lighting.which has kinda become synonymous with frivolous features. If you don't like something, maybe you can contribute instead of complaining. The least you can do is be grateful for their efforts. Individuals have taken it upon themselves to try to fill the gaps that the manufacturers of the product have left for Linux users. One needs some Java, some pip (whatever this is).

Something like that might be the most compact and straightforward option, if you don't have another USB header to spare.Quoting: lectrode Quoting: Lcs006This is what I hate - One can not just install application and use it. Those will plug into a USB 2.0 header and split it into two or more headers, just like a USB hub, only for internal headers. Some will also have a plug to receive power from the PSU though, so don't mistake that for a USB header.Īnother option would be a USB 2.0 header splitter. Most USB 3.0 cards with an internal header will probably have a 3.0 header though, so an adapter may still be necessary. Those tend to start around $15 or so on sites like eBay, though you may be able to find some for less if you are willing to wait longer for shipment from China. Most of those add additional external USB ports, but some also include an additional internal header (or only internal headers in some cases).

If you don't have a free USB header of any kind, but do have a PCIe 1x or larger slot available, it's also possible to add a USB PCIe card. You would want to make sure you get one with the metal pins on the smaller 9-pin 2.0 side, and holes on the larger 3.0 side if you did though, as adapters with the opposite arrangement also exist.


If not, you can get a USB 3.0 to 2.0 header adapter for a few dollars or so off eBay, and use it to convert the header into a 2.0 one. Click to expand.The cooler's USB adapter connects to a USB 2.0 header, though your motherboard probably has at least one of the larger 3.0 headers as well, unless you are also using that.
