Help - Razer Chroma Addressable RGB Controller

So I have purchased the Razer Chroma Addressable RGB Controller.

I have hooked this up to my water cooler but want to know how I can connect it to my RGB fans.

Each fan has a 5 pin female connector which goes into a control unit. I thought when buying the controller than they would either be standard 3 pin RGB headers or something that could be easily adapted.

After a lot of searching I can't seem to find an adaptor that would fit.

Please can I have some guidance on if this is possible and if so how or what I need to get it working.


I was able to control some of my components via Razer synapse connected to I-cue and Polychrome but wanted to get everything on synapse for a smoother and more synchronised setup with individual RGB controls.

With this in mind would it be possible to perhaps connect the controller to my motherboard to allow it to at least get basic functional control over my other components?

My relevant PC Specs are as follows:
Intel Core I9 10850K
CPU Cooler 240mm Cougar Liquid Cooler
Motherboard ASRock Z490 Steel Legend
Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16GB 2x8GB 3600MHz
Nvidia Geforce RTX 3070 8GB
700W Fully Modular 80+ Gold SSD

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

It depends on the type of fans. Some fans have a hub that they plug directly into. Then the hub will plug into the motherboard. Instead of plugging into the motherboard plug this into the chroma hub. I way to get around having to use all your ports on the chroma hub is to dasiy chain your fans together then plug that into chroma hub. Thats what I had to do.
AMD 3600x @ 4.3ghz, MSI 2060 Super, MSI Tomahawk Max and lots of RGB. Destiny 2 is my game.
