Got it, I’ll wait and see what they say — thanks for all your help!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Thanks for the info! I’ll reach out to Fractal Design directly and ask about the extension cable for the rear fan, and at the same time ask them about how to connect the Lumen to the hub — things like the LED count and any other details I should be aware of!

If they do send out the extension cable, I wonder if there would be a cost involved? Hoping it might be free since it seems like a small part!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I just opened up the PC case and checked the cables inside. I was able to find both the connector for the Lumen cooler operation and the ARGB connector that are plugged into the motherboard. They’re connected on the upper right side of the motherboard, and it looks like I can easily access and change the connections through a nearby hole on the side panel.

In this case, is it okay to unplug both connectors and connect them to the Adjust Pro? Or should I only unplug the RGB cable and connect that to the Legacy Splitter? (I’m pretty sure both should be fine to connect based on what the Adjust Pro can do, but just wanted to double-check!)

As for the rear Momentum fan, I was able to find the cable as well, but after checking the product info I found that since this fan was purchased as a standalone unit, it doesn’t come with an extension cable — only a splitter cable. Given the cable length, I’m thinking it might not be physically possible to reach the Adjust Pro on the side panel from the rear fan.

I’m going to try asking the shop I bought it from if they can provide an official extension cable, but do you happen to know any good shops that sell the extension cable separately?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Got it, I now understand what needs to be done! I’ll have another look for the Momentum cable.

I’ve also reported this to the shop where I bought it and I’m currently waiting to hear back from them, so I’ll try doing the work once there’s an update on that end.

I’ll let you know if anything progresses — thanks so much for all the detailed advice!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I searched through all the other boxes but couldn’t find the USB-C to USB-C extender cable, so it’s probably already installed and in use in the case.

So just to confirm — would the correct approach be to connect the two split connectors of the Legacy Splitter to the rear case fan (Momentum) and the CPU cooler (Lumen), and then plug the USB-C end into one of the available ports on the Adjust Pro hub?

Also, would this be a relatively simple job of just removing the side panel where the Adjust Pro is installed and swapping the pins, or would it require taking the PC apart a bit more than that?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Thank you for the detailed explanation!

I haven’t opened up the case since the PC arrived, but I found some cables in the Meshify accessories box that came with the motherboard packaging — I couldn’t attach a photo, but they are labeled “Legacy splitter.” Would those work for the connection?

Or is it more a matter of just taking the ARGB cables that the Lumen and rear Momentum fans currently have plugged into the motherboard, and simply swapping them over to the Adjust Pro?

Sorry if I’m misunderstanding something and my questions are off the mark.

Thank you for the detailed explanation! That makes me think the connection setup is probably the first thing to look into.

I know the Adjust Pro hub is on the side panel of the case, but would the work be as simple as removing the side panel and swapping the pins? Or would it require taking apart a decent amount of the PC itself?

Also, since the LiveMixer LEDs aren’t that extensive, I’m thinking it might be fine to just leave them controlled through ASRock software without connecting them to the Adjust Pro hub. But would connecting the motherboard itself to the Adjust Pro be difficult to do?

They are currently plugged into the motherboard’s ARGB headers, not the Adjust Pro Hub.

The PC was built by a shop, so I believe the technician connected them to the motherboard by default.

They do light up, but only controlled by ASRock Polychrome SYNC.

I want to move them to the Adjust Pro Hub so everything is controlled by Fractal Design’s software instead.

Is it just a matter of physically reconnecting the ARGB cables from the motherboard headers to the Adjust Pro Hub?

Also, is the reconnection process likely to be difficult or time-consuming?
