The listings name Aura, Fusion and Mystic Light compatibility. So the fans follow the board software most builds already run, avoiding a second application. Whether your board uses one of those is worth checking.
Installing a second lighting application just to run a set of fans is the kind of friction that puts people off ARGB entirely. Most builders already have one piece of software controlling their board's lighting, and the question worth asking before buying anything new is whether it will simply fold into that system or demand its own separate app running alongside it.
AsiaHorse's Dawn Pro 120mm ARGB range lists compatibility with Aura, Fusion and Mystic Light in its product details, which covers the lighting software most gaming motherboards already ship with. That means the fans generally follow whichever application your board already runs, rather than requiring a second piece of software installed on top. Pricing sits at R269 single, R699 as a three-pack, VAT-inclusive.
Aura, Fusion and Mystic Light appear directly in the product listings as the lighting ecosystems Dawn Pro is compatible with. Those three names cover a large share of gaming motherboards on the market, which means there is a reasonable chance your existing board software is already one of them.
Addressable ARGB generally communicates over the same 5V 3-pin connection type regardless of brand, so compatibility often extends beyond the three names specifically listed, even where the manufacturer has not tested every combination. The listing states what has been confirmed; it is not necessarily the full extent of what will physically work.
One of the real practical benefits here is not needing a separate lighting app running in the background purely to control fans. If your board software already manages RGB for memory, other case fans, or case lighting, Dawn Pro folding into that same control point keeps the whole system in one place rather than juggling multiple overlapping applications that sometimes conflict with each other.
Control comes from the board's own software, sent down through the daisy-chain cable that links the fans into one run. There is no separate fan controller involved unless you add one, so whatever scheme your board application is currently running is what the row will display.
Most boards drive a default lighting effect even before any control application is installed, though picking specific colours or effects is what the named software exists for. Out of the box, expect some form of lighting rather than none, even before you touch a settings menu.
