  • Product colorBlack
  • Adds addressable RGB lighting to the motherboard rear

  • Three size options covering ATX, M-ATX and ITX boards
  • Black finish blends with most motherboard colour schemes
  • Purely decorative back-plate, no electrical function beyond LEDs

ATX Motherboard Back Plate Cable

The FormulaMod Lightinghouse back plate connects to a 5 V three-pin A-RGB header on ATX motherboards. It adds addressable LED illumination behind the board for builders who want internal lighting effects. The accessory is sold new and functions as a decorative layer rather than a structural component.

Three Size Options Change Fit

Black identifies the ATX version while white and blue correspond to M-ATX and ITX form factors respectively. Selecting the correct colour ensures the plate aligns with the motherboard mounting holes. No additional software or controllers are bundled; lighting control relies entirely on the motherboard’s own RGB ecosystem.

Simple Header Connection

Installation requires plugging the 5 V three-pin connector into the matching motherboard header and securing the plate with existing board screws. The package excludes motherboard and case, so buyers must supply their own hardware. Mis-matching the colour-coded size to the board format is the most common fitment error.

Questions about this item

Will the 5V 3-pin A-RGB connector on the back plate need a different header if I change motherboards later?

The cable uses a standard 5V 3-pin A-RGB header found on most modern boards; only boards lacking that specific header would require an adapter or controller.

What stops me from running the LED back plate continuously at full brightness?

The limiting factor is the motherboard 5V A-RGB header current rating; sustained maximum output may exceed that header's safe current capacity.

Does the back plate add noticeable heat or power draw inside the case during all-day use?

It draws only low-wattage 5V power for the addressable LEDs and has no active cooling, so added heat and power consumption are minimal.
