I'm assembling my FIRST RGB machine.
Question 1: What's the difference between JARGB (as spelled on the mother board) & JRGB?
I'm using Phantek D30 fans.

Question 2: The Phanteck D30 have 3 pin Male and Female connectors and the MSI Motherboard JARB and JRGB headers have 4 pins. Can I get an adapter?

Question 3. The MSI B650 has a Male 4-pin connector called "Pump Fan" but the Phantek Glacier One AIO has a 3 pin connector.
Can I get an adapter?

Question 4: How many LED's can the MSI headers handle for RGB?
 
What's the difference between JARGB (as spelled on the mother board) & JRGB?
aRGB = addressable RGB LEDs, a 3pin connection.
much more detailed control over the available LEDs.

RGB = basic LEDs, a 4pin connection.
usually just basic color change options.

unless this board uses some sort of proprietary connections then they will be standard headers.
many just label them differently(D-RGB, JRGB, etc).
The Phanteck D30 have 3 pin Male and Female connectors
this would be so you can daisy-chain them together and then have the final output going to the motherboard.
MSI Motherboard JARB and JRGB headers have 4 pins. Can I get an adapter?
no, 3pin addressable LEDs use a different sort of control.
you can damage devices and/or the board by plugging basic RGB devices into an aRGB header.


The MSI B650 has a Male 4-pin connector called "Pump Fan" but the Phantek Glacier One AIO has a 3 pin connector.
you can plug a 3pin fan connector into a 4pin fan header.
there should be a "guide" to show which pins to connect to.

this is a fan built-in to the pump right, not for the radiator fans?

which version of the Glacier One do you have?
How many LED's can the MSI headers handle for RGB?
when daisy-chaining compatible hardware together into a single header you can usually connect as many as you want.
