RX6900 XT External ARGB port

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi all,

I recently upgraded from another brand RX 6800XT to and ASRock Phantom Gaming RX6900XT and I'm wondering if the ARGB connector on the side of the GPU allows to set as input mode and receive ARGB signal from an external controller that I have just like the old GPU did so all my devices are synced with the controller.

Made several tests but so far I could only set the connector as output mode. 

Output mode doesn't work to me because motherboard(non ASRock), RAM's and cables would be out of sync with all the remaining fans and led stripes. 

(Not to mention Polychrome has very little personalization, most of settings only allows one color instead of personalized color cicle)

The external controller in case is an Aerocool ARGB+FAN controller.

	Thank you very much for the answer! You're a star! It was still within the 15 days so me and 4 friends just returned that rubbish and bought other brand that allows integration with all other ARGB devices and stripes in the case. I'll def not recommend this to any1.
