I heard the TT SYNC Controller is not compatible with Thermaltake Pure 12 ARGB .. NOT the plus edition but Thermaltake Pure 12 ARGB regular ones. What if I already have both aRGB headers on motherboard occupied. How the heck will I be able to install 6 more of the Thermaltake Pure 12 ARGB... I was thinking to get a HUB for them, but then again are they proprietary and will not work on a hub!? how crazy?!
 
Why in the F would they make their own controller not compatible with their own fans or vice-versa.... seems like a really stupid idea to me, as well as a very quick way to lose/piss off customers too :)

Have you contacted TT to ask why this is so and/or if there is a solution/work-around ?

This is just ANUTHA reason why I call a lot of the silly light-up stuff "R.friggin.G.friggin.B.friggin."

You can use A-RGB Splitter Cable and connect those fans directly to the mother board ( The picture is for 6 way a-rgb splitter cable, there are other options with fewer headers like 2 3 4 5 way splitters. ). Only problem is you might not line up a RGB pattern like a hub does.

Those fans should come with a proper Mainboard Signal Bridge Cable, so could be used with motherboard RGB headers.

I have 5 thermaltake fans gifted to me here, because the owner sold the cables to the controllers with his old case

you cant even buy their controllers seperately, absolute E-waste products
 
There's also a Pure 12 set. TT packs in a controller, but you only need one - three pin header on the motherboard to drive lights and to control the fans, some Gigabytes don't, 4 pin motherboard headers do not work. The controller comes with THIS KIT - but there are different packages available. If you haven't purchased any, you might want to get a 3-pack.

Yep! I got 3 of them, no controller. Only option is to cut the wires and spice in actual fan headers.
