An argb controller for Personal computers I made this as my JRGB pins on my motherboard doesnt work properly. It could also be modified to support a greater number of ARGB headers.
Features:
- It has 4 ARGB headers
- It has 1 4 pin molex power connector for a Peripheral connector which connects to the PSU

Important notes:
- It takes up 15mm of width behind your computer
- You have to bend the Bulk capacitors legs to make it fit

Questions
How big is the Argb controller PCB?
It measures 51.5 × 106.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Argb controller use?
14 parts, built around the 74AHCT125D. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Argb controller KiCad files?
From the shangathechild/kyber repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/_restore_backup_2026-09-01T18-16-04-029/argb_controller.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/_restore_backup_2026-09-01T18-16-04-029/argb_controller.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Argb controller design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask shangathechild before reusing the design.
