The XPG PRIME BOX ARGB & PWM CONTROLLER is a versatile device designed to enhance your PC's aesthetics and cooling performance. It acts as a central hub for managing RGB lighting effects and fan speeds, offering extensive customization options through its dedicated software.

Function Description:

The XPG PRIME BOX serves as a control unit for Addressable RGB (ARGB) lighting and Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) fans and pumps within a PC system. It allows users to synchronize and customize lighting effects across multiple ARGB devices and precisely control the speed of up to four PWM fans or pumps. The device connects to the motherboard via a USB 2.0 internal header, enabling software control, or can operate independently through its own interface. It is equipped with multiple ports to accommodate various components, including four ARGB channels and four PWM fan headers. An optional USB output is available for connecting additional USB devices, especially when more than two devices require a USB connection. The controller is powered by a SATA power connector, ensuring stable operation.
