Hi,
I dont have any solutions for wiring those 2 front fans. I need some help...

I understand there are 2 parts I need to connect fans: power and RGB (?). But power connector (from case) is 3 pin, this motherboard has 4pins for cha_fans. Solution?
also, RGB part, connector from case has 2 options, one for Gibabyte, the other for Asus/MSI. Asus one clearly is 5V RGB header, as it doesn't have a pin slot for the pin that is not used and is blocked off . But my motherboard has standard 4pin RGB_HEADER which is 12V.

How to get those 2 fans work? It's very hard to find solutions. i think Cooler Master should take the blame, its manual is beyond joke.

thanks a lot in advance!
 
here is the solution:

Cooler Master should take the blame. I will never buy their products again. If it's too much trouble, I'd return the case. so be it.
Blame Cooler Master for its incompetent consumers? Don’t think so. 3 pin fans can be plugged into the 4 pin cha_fan headers. And your fault again for not doing research to see your mobo has no 3 pin 5v headers for your addressable rgb fans. Do 2 mins of research and save a day of complaining on tomshardware and struggling to find workarounds.
It comes with a built in argb controller as well, dont even need to plug it into your mobo or waste money on that Deepcool junk
 
Its so kind of you to show up AFTER solution is provided.
yeah, if you like to dig around for some time, be my guest.

To Cooler Master, it's so easy for them to add something like 'for some motherboards, you need a converter for ARGB fans to work.'
No, they refuse to update the manual which is a joke anyway. this Asus Z390 is not old by any means.

drop dead, Cooler Master.
