    Help identifying connector for ASUS 4090 Strix RGB LED connector

    Hi All -

    I had replaced my ASUS 4090 Strix cooler with a waterblock and put the stock cooler on the shelf. Was moving it and snagged my sweater on the connector and pulled the wires out of the pins on the RGB connector. I tried to get them back on but its too small so I opened the stamped pins and tried to solder but its not a good repair and the wire broke on reinstallation.

    Looking to replace the connector on the cable side and get pins to crimp onto a new cable. Bought random JST and such but nothing is correct. Can anyone help identify the connector and possibly matching pins?

    This connector attaches to the ASUS 4090 Strix at the bottom right of the PCB when looking at it top down marked SCON1:

    looks like Molex SL series.
    used hugely for pc cd-rom audio,
    and for rgb led stuff from Corsair

      I had looked at those, I believe, but its a bit different from what I can tell. Any chance you have a PN# you could recommend? All the ones I saw have a key or don't quite have the same/similar shape.

          Unfortunately those are a sort of "from inside" clip mechanism. This one is a clip that is on the outside of the PCB female socket

            work out the pin spacing,
            common would be 2mm, 2.5mm and 2.54mm
            2.54mm is 0.1" the same asthroughhole chips btw
