Hi Good People,
Thermaltake Riing RGB fans are came with one fan & one PWM controller. The connection mechanism is,
1. Controller 4 Pin (Female) connector connects with Main Board CPU Fan Header 4 Pin (Male).
2. The RGB Fans has 5 Pin (Female) connector & connects with the Controller 5Pin (Male).
This is how the TT Riing RGB does work.
I want to use Riing RGB fans on my Kraken X52 Radiator. My problem is,

1. when I follow the above mentioned procedure (Fan-Controller-CPU Fan Header), I can not control the fan speed through BIOS or from NZXT CAM software.

2. But if I ditch the controller and directly connect 5Pin Fan with 4 Pin CPU Fan Header, then I can not control the RGB. Yes It does make sense I know as cpu fan header does have 4 pin only instead of 5pin.

Now I want to know if there is any way so that I can control both RGB & Fan Speed.

Not through cam...
It only works through the provided controller...
There are now 4 types of TT RGB fans..
RGB 5pin... Only works with provided controller hub.
9 pin RGB premium works with Asus, MSI and gigabyte 3pin Mobo RGB controller through TT premium controller hub with TT software

RGB plus and RGB premium Plus 9 pin works with any Mobo with a USB header through provided TT fan hub with Mobo RGB software

If you plug the hub into the CPU it will follow CPU pwm speeds.

It will follow the pwm of whatever it is plugged in to..
For multiple hubs they sell a wire for $10 so that you can match colors from hubs and t will still follow the pwm that reach hub is plugged into
