MFX-ACBN-NNUNN-R1 ARGB Small LED Small Controller for Fans and Coolers 6 preset Modes Thermal Detection Mode

I got this controller to use in my old PC before selling it to add a bit of flash so it would be a more appealing sale. The controller worked perfectly, I did need to purchase a USB header to MicroUSB cable to hook the controller up to my motherboard to allow for software control of the controller so you dont have to open the case to change the aRGB settings, and I do wish that cable was included...but it doesnt take away from it working perfectly. The controller worked well without that cable, however I think it would be a pain to constantly open the case to change any aRGB settings, so I got the cable, which at first didnt work but I needed to do was a simple driver update for the controller and then it was discovered in windows immediately. This controller was used to control 3 aRGB fans...2 EK Vardar Evo as part of an EKAIO 240mm, and 1 CoolerMaster Sickleflow aRGB fan as rear exhaust. It worked great to control all of them. The coolermaster software is not great, but its certainly better to have that option then not. All in all, this helped me to sell my old PC at a price higher then expected, and the buyer was ECSTATIC with how it looked.

I just want to start off by saying that this is a product intended for CoolerMaster Fans, however it does use universal ports (ARGB Gen 2 port to be exact) So at first I thought this product was a scam because it didn't work with my ASUS TUF motherboard even though it says it's supported. YOU MUST PLUG THE CONTROLLER TO THE COMPUTER WITH A MINI USB CABLE!! After you plug everything into the controller (Including SATA power), you just have to plug it in via USB once for about 1 minute for the drivers to install. After that, you don't have to plug it in again. since I didn't have a USB header, I just plugged it in with my side panel open and unplugged it when it was done. The controller does not come with a Mini USB cable, so if you don't already have one, you're going to need one if you want this to work with your motherboard

Windows 10 was detecting the controller as MA410 under Control Panel->Hardware and Sound->Device and Printers. The MasterPlus software would not detect the controller. In order to get the MasterPlus software to detect the controller I had to update the firmware. I found a link to a file called ARGB BOX_REV0001_190131.zip on a web forum. When I ran it and followed the instructions (yes unplug everything) it updated the firmware to revision 1 and then when I launched the MasterPlus software it detected it and updated the firmware to revision 8. Now I can control the lighting through software.

Does not work as it should to control 3 Cooler Master fans. The controller is recognized by the software but the fan colors can’t be changed with the software or the buttons on the controller itself. Cooler Master customer service is ridiculous. There’s no way to contact them by phone or chat, you’re forced to open a ticket. I did that and described the problem. I got a response after 10 days to “check the cable connection” and send them a video of something that’s not happening. Ticket is still open 2 weeks later. Epic fail.

I bought this as I made the mistake of buying individual CM mf120r argb fans (instead of the 3 pack which included this, or the pro which is just RGB and supported by my mobo) connecting them was easy, figuring out a way to use the controller if it was on the inside of the case was another, so I opted to just keep the controller outside till I figured out the MasterPlus software which the controller is compatible with out of the box IF you attach it to a usb port (micro usb). Material quality seems alright, the plastic case of the controller seems a little on the thin side, buttons arent as crisp as I'd want them but they do the job.

Works well for adding ARGB LED control via your PC. However, you MUST use the cooler master software, which does not sync with Aura Sync by ASUS, which is a little misleading considering the logo is on the page and on the box. The reason they say it's compatible with motherboard software is because there is an ARGB passthrough port so you can connect your motherboard's ARGB to the controller... Which defeats the purpose of the product... Also, it seems like the controller is over-driving the LEDs on my Antec Prizm fans, because at full brightness white appears to have a yellow tinge on only some of the LEDs, and they get a little warm to the touch. However, setting them to ~80% brightness returns them to a neutral uniform white and they cool down a bit. The controller that came with my fans originally definitely doesn't do this. I would advise anyone who bought this to not run your LEDs at full brightness, because it's possible that it could lead to an early death for your LEDs. All that being said, for the money it's ok, but it's not the best. You're probably better off with the Razer or Corsair equivalents even though they are double the cost.

didi the deed well

It is a great incognito way of controlling my aRGB fans. My motherboard doesn't have an aRGB header (first build) and this was a great way of controlling it. My case came with one but I didn't quite have a way to hook it up properly so I ordered this and it's perfect. Had to make sure that I had a micro usb plugged into it at all times to control it, but after some minor tinkering it worked out great

Jalo a la perfeccion, yo habia comprado unos abanicos Halo de cooler master sin el controlador, este controlador llego al rescate, tengo que admitir que si no la conectas a la computadora hay unos efectos limitados pero lo suficientemente bien para que funcionen y luzcan tus abanicos A-RGB de 3 pines Veo que hay muchas opiniones negativas, pero en vdd veo que no supieron usar el producto

Perfect for my sickle flow fans

Came with all cords works perfect

Si lo conectas al USB tienes mas control con el CoolMaster Software

Esta sencillo de instalar aunque el manual no es del todo explicativo, pero se necesita conectar a usb para que lo reconozca la pc, el cable no esta incluido y debe ser para transferencia de datos. En cuanto al programa si se encuentra en la pagina y es el MasterPlus de coolermaster.
