Hi everyone,

I recently built my custom PC with water cooling to be wall mounted (see pic, not yet mounted obviously).

In the pic you can see the MSI logo on the lower left side. I want to connect it directly to the MB somehow to get it to light up, but I have no idea what kind of connector it has. The connector on my GPU says J5007 (see pic, red connector in the top middle). Is there a converter somewhere that I could buy or should I build my own?

Does anyone have an idea on how I could connect this to one of the RGB headers on the MB? Here is a pic of the female connector on the MSI logo. If anyone knows which cable is Ground, 5v, RGB, and whatever the fourth one is, I would really appreciate it!

Here is my build:

- Hero VIII MB
- Ryzen 9 3950x
- RX6800XT
- 3600 MHz 32 Gb RAM
- Firecuda nVMe 2 Tb
- 850w PSU

Here is a video of my build

it's a 4 pin connector, most likely using analog RGB (digital RGB tends to only be 3 pins).
Hard to really say much more than that. Honestly, you'd be better off buying a strip, and 3d printing a MSI logo, and putting it there instead and lighting it up using the RGB strip that you can easily connect right to the motherboard.
