Hi guys, I just changed a new casing that comes with 2 RGB fan. Thing is I’m kinda new on this RGB thingy. The fan itself I have connected to the motherboard. It’s working just without the RGB bling bling. I guess I need to connect the connector to somewhere ? I don’t think my motherboard has a connection for RGB. Below is the connector that comes with the RGB fan. Can anyone advise where does this connector connect to ?

Looks like ARGB connection for fans.

Those are RGB, not ARGB
4 pins 12v, not 3 pins 5v

Don't think there's any RGB support on this mobo.

Use the pwm header (4-pin female end)

If you have more than 1 of that RGB fan, you can use that RGB controller with this 12v RGB hub:

I checked this out. Apparently you still need to connect the cable to motherboard which has RGB port, which mine doesn’t have

Did you not read my previous post saying you need to use that hub together with the controller?
It means you have to buy both of the item I posted above

u dont have RGB on your Mobo so u need the controller to provide signal for which lights you want. the sata power connector will power your RGB Fan and u can change the lights using remote. u can use 1 controller but need 4 pin RGB splitter to connect to your RGB fan.
