having trouble on understanding how to connect a Lian Li 360mm Galahad to a Gigabyte B550 AORUS ELITE AX V2 ATX AM4. tried watching youtube videos but out of the many ive found they are using a mobo that comes with an aio_pump header and never the same mobo.
manuals to each

im not very tech savvy if you cant tell but im also having trouble understanding how to connect all of the aio fans and led lights to the mobo.
 
Solution
just include images here of the connectors used by the cooler.

also is the UNI FAN version or the basic Gallahad 360?

for basic Gallahad,

FOR PUMP, if it uses a 4 pin motherboard header;
an AIO_PUMP or W_PUMP will run at 100% at all times to keep a water pump circulating liquid.
most can be used for PWM fans and have their curves altered to whatever custom profile you wish though.

in the same situation with CHA_FAN or SYS_FAN headers you can use these for pump cables and just set their profile to 100% at all times.

FOR FANS;
the included fans should all connect to a single 3-way splitter or...

FOR FANS;
the included fans should all connect to a single 3-way splitter or daisy-chain together that in turn connects to the CPU_FAN header on the motherboard.

FOR LEDs;
there should be a 3 or 4 pin output cable that will either go to the included controller for control of the lights through that controller.
or to a motherboard header that will allow control of the lights through motherboard control software.
