Question Can't figure out how to power my ARGB fan hub, no SATA power ?

[tamim2ddc]

Attached pictures for clarification.

I bought 3 packs of Value Top ARGB Fans that came with a 10 pin hub. However I cannot figure out at all how to power it.

I installed my 5 other fans to the hub and installed the fan hub wire to motherboard SYS_FAN1, which interestingly only has 3 pin port ( 2 of which is wired). Using that alone does not power any of the fans. The wire has 3 pin AND a 4 pin port which I assume is for MoBo argb.

The hub itself has another 2 pins, 1 for 5W and other for GND. I assume this is for power but I have no clue what port I use for this.

Please any help is greatly appreciated. Don't ask me to buy a well known brand hub because I'm broke af now. I used a DeepCool 4 pin hub which worked flawlessly before but as you realized only 4 fans when I have 5.

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
PSU:
Case:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model.

Include a link to the fans you've purchased or include better quality images of the leads coming off the fan and their eventual tethering to the hub.

My bad, made the post in hurry.
CPU: R5 5600G
CPU cooler: Stock Wraith Stealth
Motherboard: Gigabyte-A320M-S2H (Yes doesn't have ARGB Header, gonna upgade mobo soon)
Ram: 2x8GB PNY 3200MHz
PSU: some no name 600W PSU that I'll upgrade later, brand is Yamasaki which I cannot find any info about. Been using since 2019.
Case: Antec NX200M
Case fans are "VALUE-TOP CR10-1298ARGB" with their vague "10 Ports Control Board" hub thing.
Really looking for quick help, need my PC running asap. Thanks again to anyone with their thoughts 😀

Without ARGB header on the MB.simple hub like that is not going to work. You would need a proper ARGB controller.
That hub seems to be for ARGB only, not for fan motors. Hence only 5v connector. Fan motors and RGB work at 12v.

I agree with CountMike. That hub is for ARGB LIGHTS only - it does not do anything with your fans. The photos that show a connector with 3 holes and labels "VDG" (those may be two connectors on the end of the same cable - not clear in photos) is to plug into a mobo ARGB header for control signals from that source. Without that you cannot use the lights in your fans. Do NOT plug it into a mobo SYS_FAN header! It might feed 12 VDC to your lights and burn them out!

IF that connection cable has two slightly different 3-hole connectors on it, you are to plug only ONE of them into a mobo header. Which one depends on which header type your new mobo has. The more common design is the wider one that looks like it had 4 holes but one is blocked off. The other is for a less-common header design used on some mobos.

It is entirely possible, also, that this Hub is NOT the type that can get power for its lights from a PSU connection. It may get all power only from the mobo ARGB header through that cable. In that case you will need to pay attention to the power capacity limit of the mobo header, as specified in your new mobo manual. Compare that to the specs of your fans' LIGHTS only. The fans' motor power requirements are not part of the lighting power specs.
