Details
The Barrow ARSKZQ is a small inline manual controller for Barrow LRC 2.0 (Aurora) 5V addressable RGB lighting. It takes power from a 4-pin Molex plug of the power supply and drives the lighting through a 3-pin 5V output, so your LED strips, blocks and fittings can run their effects without a motherboard RGB header or software. Three buttons on the module choose the effect, and the setting stays stored when the PC is off.

Lighting without a motherboard header
The controller sits in the cable between the power supply and your lighting. Plug the 4-pin Molex connector into a free Molex plug of the power supply and connect the 3-pin output to an LRC 2.0 lighting product, for example a Barrow LED strip or an LRC 2.0 block, reservoir or fitting. The lighting then runs from the controller, which is useful when the motherboard has no free 5V ARGB header or when you do not want to run RGB software.
Effects and speeds
- Barrow lists more than 300 dynamic lighting effects, among them aurora rainbow, flashing, chasing, jumping, running water, lightning and several "horse racing" chase patterns in both directions.
- The speed of the effects can be set in 8 levels.
- Barrow says the manual controller runs the full dynamic programs and a constant light mode; it does not offer a single fixed color.
Small module, three buttons
The control board is a slim module in the cable, small enough to tuck away behind the motherboard tray. The buttons are marked M+ and M- for the mode and LUM OFF/ON for the light. The controller remembers the last setting, so the lighting comes back the same way after a shutdown or a power cut.
