Works with Asus Prime b450 motherboard,
Exactly what I needed to sync my case fan RGB light with the motherboard with 4 pin RGB connector

This is it.
Helped me with the problem of older motherboard 12v argb headers. Didn't have to purchase any additional equipment, all necessary wires included. Easy installation.

Very simple and affordable
It's very simple to set it up with no fuss at all. It's been running great so far. I have my liquid cooler running full speed.

Fantastic, with one caveat UPDATE! See below.
UPDATE: Several months later...the unit fried itself about a week ago.No idea what, probably just cheap circuitry. Apparently, 12v to 5v step down was more than this thing could handle long-term.I decided to go with a different device from another manufacturer, which uses the USB ports on the MB for the control functions, and draws the 5v power from a SATA connector. (I had considered this originally, but it was more expensive, and required (for my PC) a USB splitter (adding to the cost). We'll see how this goes.Old review:Okay, so I have built several machines in the last 18 months now, sort of a renovation of sorts as the purpose built PCs I have were getting long in the tooth--read that as old as dirt--in some cases.Anyway, Built a Gaming PC last summer (2020) and for the first time I was going to put some RGB stuff into it (two LED strips and RGB fans). Okay, that was the second time...sort of. 20 years ago, when LED stuff was first coming into consumer use, I put some LED fans and I think it was called "electro-wire" or something like that...basically it was molex connector wires that had tiny LEDs in them. NOTHING like today's RGB stuff--no sync software or control, ONE color only, it just lit up when power was applied.Anyway, the board I bought last July was a current board, and it had the 5v RGB headers ASUS started putting onto the more recent boards...Fast forward to May of this year (2021). My now 8 year old production PC, the one that Office and my emails and all that stuff was installed on was showing it's age. (i7 3rd generation chip.) So I decided to start gathering parts and planning a new PC that would replace that old Dell XPS.I ended up doing a Ryzen 5 chip, with plenty of memory, yada yada yada, and changed it all around at least once. In the end I built it into a Phanteks Enthoo Pro 2, with space for 15 fans AND up to 4 radiators, two of which **could** be 480mm rads. The other two would have to be 360mm. And even then, you would have to be VERY careful what order you put it together in, because certain parts wouldn't fit if you did "B" before "A".This PC would be future-proofed, in that I can still double the memory, without taking any out. LOTS of space for more drives, if I want them. Space for vertical GPU mount (which I did). And water cooled, with two 360mm rads.And those fans? I have 14 RGB fans six of which are in the 2 rads, and eight are intake fans. Fans run slower, and therefore quiet. That, plus the idea that it's water cooled, meant that when I closed up the case, I can't even hear the pump. And I have excellent hearing.My one fatal (well not really) mistake was the ASUS system board only had the 12v RGB header--I saw an RGB header, and didn't pay attention to the voltage.I searched long and hard for SOMETHING to fix the problem (12v vs 5v RGB). I really liked the fans from my gaming PC, and they're inexpensive for what you get, and so I had wanted to buy more for this PC. But the RGB for them is 5v.I found that I could have done the RGB through a USB-c connection in a box that would sit inside the case. But it was $50. That was a no-go. (See update above)This little box does the job ALMOST perfectly.My only caveat is that it takes about a minute after the Windows Desktop appear and the PC is ready to rock and roll, before the RGB syncs and recalls the last setting, and does it's thing.Before that, Rainbow Puke mode everywhere.Not 100% sure if it's the box waiting for a signal to sync everything, or just the motherboard treating the RGB as a low-priority, but if you can stand the rainbow crap for a bit, it's great after that. I don't go in for the shifting, rippling and swirling colors some like with RGB. One or two static colors is fine by me. And this does that A+.

To the rescue!
My motherboard only has one 12v RGB header (4-pin). I purchased the wrong fans - 5v (3-pin). This controller/adapter saved the day. I was able to connect all 3 fans and connected the 4-pin output to motherboard. Although I later noticed that there isn't any benefit of connecting them to the motherboard because the controller has a nice option of using your case's Reset button to control the lights. You won't have the power reset option anymore (when do you really use it?) but you can control the RGB lights by pressing the reset button. On the other hand, when you connect the controller to the RGB header on the motherboard, after every shut down, the colors revert to the color you have set in BIOS. So it's actually preferable to omit the motherboard connection as far as the lights go. Overall, I'm very happy with it.

Damaged everything connected to it with the SATA power cable.
I started using two days ago when I gotten a good set of fans to work with even though I have purchased this last year. It worked momentarily with my ASRock motherboard but when I saw one of my storage drives not working, I opened up my computer case to see what is the problem. I double checked where ever it might be wrong. PSU works fine, I tried 4 SATA power cables. Then I tried it in a older computer I have and still doesn't work. Not only the RGB converter doesn't work, my SSD is unreadable by the BIOS. Just beware the of purchasing a voltage converter like this, it won't always work with every brand of motherboards. Especially with ASRock.
