Question can connect my case rgb fans to the motherboard ?

[Rui Neves]

I built a PC for someone. I’ve built PCs before for myself and others, but sometimes I’m not entirely sure about certain things, so I come to the community to ask.

I recommended a Cooler Master CMP 510 as the case for the build, and the motherboard is an ASRock B650 PG Lightning. The case comes with 3 RGB fans apparently connected via Molex among themselves, and the RGB is connected to a controller that only controls the RGB via a button on the controller itself (from what I saw in a YouTube video:

View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nBbsQP3jCg&t=590s
).

I’d like to know if I can connect the RGB directly to the motherboard? The RGB connection seems to use a splitter for the 3 fans. Is it safe to connect it directly to this motherboard?

I think I’ll leave the Molex power connection for the fans as it is.

The video isn’t in English, but I think you can understand what I mean by just watching from 6:43 onward.

Fans are simply using the Molex to make them spin. Can leave that alone or plug the 3 pins on each one into the motherboard to gain speed control.

Lighting is almost certainly standard 3 pin ARGB. It appears to be using the same controller that came with a few Cooler Master products ive owned. Should be able to plug that straight into the ARGB header on your motherboard and control them that way. And yes, it is safe to daisy chain 3 ARGB fans off of one ARGB header as the lighting does not draw much power.
